Covering April 14 – 20, 2021, we go through a wintery commute home with two bull elk making an appearance, a gorgeous day working cattle, a return to winter conditions, then working more cattle as the snow retreats on a dark and gloomy day.
Stilin’
Just in case you don’t “get” my title… a stile is what you call steps over a fence which is what Bravo is sitting on…
Spring Weekend
Helped move a few cows today… Of course, as the flagger, I didn’t catch up until they had arrived and were well on their way to pairing them through the gate. I checked my trail cam today, and somehow, it’s not working right… no successful photos out of hundreds… so I’ll reset and try again….
#TBT: “English Shadow”, v.2.0
This was first posted May 6, 2010. Honestly… He lives for me. He watches for me. He is dejected when I’m not around. He howls when I leave and he can’t go. He wants to crawl in my lap and snuggle. He knows I can find that *spot*. He has me wrapped around his paw….

What Say You?
Thanks for all the comments and concern and stories you shared on yesterday’s post. It was quite the experience… if you didn’t see all of the comments, there was one person that shared that coughing could also “reset” and another person said that doing the maneuvers too long could make you pass out. Still another…

But I finally decided I may be able to tell more people about this, and who knows, maybe someone can benefit from my experience. I’ve shared with local friends so now I’m just using a bigger stage….
Branding 2021 Video
Finally, my videos on ranch life have caught up to April 11 when we held our first little branding. We’ve branded all but another small bunch, but I don’t really count those brandings with the table and electric branding iron. I’m just a traditionalist, I guess… I still had to make this video because it’s…
Fancy Day
Busy day for certain people beginning with a tea party at the library… We were treated to cucumber sandwiches, Nutella and raspberry sandwiches, and tomato/cheese/watercress sandwiches. Plus cookies and meringues. Oh, and tea! We then did a craft and worked on a puzzle… it was a good time! Later, we celebrated Lorelei’s seventh birthday! I…
Blow Out
A few weeks ago, when one of our last storms blew through… it literally blew through my studio. It blew one of my old windows out. I went inside, expecting to find glass shattered everywhere. Luckily, the pane of glass landed just right on the couch below and was still in one piece. What are…
#TBT: May Day Wishes, v.2.0
This was first posted May 1, 2010. Happy May Day! Mom always told me there are people better off and people worse off than what you are. Be grateful for what you have…That was reinforced today after I read Kari’s blog at http://montanaforreal.blogspot.com My pitiful couple of inches of snow pale horribly in comparison to Kari’s…
