We’ve had a few gloomy, slightly rainy days. It seems like we should have received more rain, everything is green and growing and just bursting. There was just enough of a break between storms that I finished rototilling my garden. I may have to do it one more time, but with the evening lows in…
Septic Tank Song
I don’t know if this will work… but since most of you aren’t on Instagram, I just hoped it would… Here’s Miss Reagan singing about septic tanks… https://www.instagram.com/reel/CPKQRjMlL6A/?utm_medium=copy_link Actually, it’s from Hank the Cowdog… but Reagan has it down fairly well.
#TBT: Dirt Slick, v.2.0
Sorry this is so late. My internet went out just as I was about to post this last night. This was first posted May 25, 2010. FINALLY! A gorgeous day… not a cloud in the sky. Snow on the mountain, yes, but VERY nice here. Plus the creek DIDN’T flood the way the National Weather…

Candid
With some of my recent craft sales, I splurged and bought a trail camera. I’ve wanted one for years. Obviously, I’ve set it too high on one gatepost, looking across the open gate. It still captured some interesting shots… deer, birds, fantastic play of clouds and light, one antelope, and a coyote?

Ranch Skills
I don’t know what you did today, but we continued training the next generation in basic ranch skills. More to come tomorrow.
TIRED
Lordy, Lordy. Finally sat down at 10:15. I’m pooped! We are planning on branding our last small bunch on Saturday, though the chance of us getting rained out looks high. We will decide in the morning! It doesn’t matter for the cooks… we have to be prepared to feed our crew. I cooked the roasts…
#TBT: I’m Cooking… in More Ways than One, v.2.0
Since I’m doing this tomorrow… it seemed appropriate! This was first published May 13, 2010. My mother was a great cook.My sister is a fantastic cook.Me.Not so much.I do it because it is part of the job description for ranchwife… like filing cards in the card file when I was a librarian… or paperwork when…

Special Time
It only happens a few times a year… a nice weather day… no work… no time crunch… and a trip up the mountain to see how far the snow has retreated. A leisurely diversion of looking for arrowheads. Often an old sandy spot, perhaps a dead dune, holds the detritus of flint knapping. Flakes of…
