We’ve leased some new country and got a grand tour of it. What we thought might take a couple of hours took five. You’ll be seeing more of it as time goes by. You’ve already had a glimpse of my new favorite picnic spot there by the creek. The homestead cabin has plenty of treasures…
Re-Red:May 10-16, 2020
Well, a day late… but it’s here. The last week in review.
Home
A view of home.
Tables
OK, I have a thing for tables. I love them. I have more than I need. But when Megan asked if I wanted a cute little end table, of course I said yes. It was plain. Modern. It still had stubborn stickers on it. Piece A. Piece B. Once I started sanding on it, I…
Special Request
I had a special photography request a couple of weeks ago. Yes, kindergarten graduation was last week. I can tell you more about that later if you’re interested, but tonight, I think I’ll just share some photos of my little graduates.
#TBT: This Time of Year, v.2.0
This was first posted May 22, 2009.

There’s lots to see in this photo, maybe you’ll notice it all when you put together the jigsaw puzzle of this photo HERE.

Shopping and cooking and hauling and chilling and heating and remembering everything. Cleaning the shop and hauling the chairs so everyone has a decent place to sit after working hard. Ordering vaccine so…
The Kids Branding
I christened this year, the Kids Branding. All eight of the grandkids were there, and with the exception of Reagan who was kept occupied by K., they all got in and helped. Thankfully, most of our help just happen to be young fathers as well… so kids clambered on laps and “held” calves with the…
Re-Red Week 2
A conglomeration of photos and video for the week May 3 – May 10, 2020.
Quick Shot
Just a few quick shots of branding today until I have time to crop and finish more… plus there’s riding first thing in the morning, so this will NOT be a midnight post! I need my sleep…
The Book
Tomorrow is our branding. It will be our “small” one, with only a bit over 100 calves. That means the cowboys gathered the pasture today… but I babysat the little girls and finished up my share of the cooking. Since I’m back at work at the library, my Wednesday and Thursday were booked. Get it?…
