We’re Ready
It’s almost time… well, actually, Daniel has been calving his little herd already, but we tried to push back our heifers’ due dates a bit. Anyway, we’re almost ready to start calving! Last year it was so cold that week we calved the majority of our heifers, we had lots of frozen ears on our…
Cute Failure
Daniel and Tess went to Hawaii three and a half months ago. My job… was to keep Tuff and Tina, their Australian Shepherds. As I recall, we moved cows the day before they left… and Daniel mentioned that Tina might be coming in heat. “Oh, boy!” I laughed as I bent down to pat her….
Another
Just another gorgeous day before the next storm hits. **** Stay tuned for puppy photos!
Funny Valentine
Growing up, I was a Daddy’s Girl. I followed him around like a puppy, and he taught me to shoot and fish and build and shovel and repair. Unknowingly, he prepared me for this ranchlife, having the skills to learn and to try and to be confident. When I was a senior in high school,…
#TBT: Neighborly OOPE, v.2.0

Split Personality
Wyoming’s weather keeps flopping… from drifting snowflakes and a hushed world… To a crisp blue scene, brilliant with glaring snow. I couldn’t stand it anymore, and while the guys rode their sleds to the top of the mountain, I used an old machine and hauled Jaxon and Lacee around behind the sled. I mean, really……
Crafts
Latest things to keep my hands busy… A pair of red, white, and blue round reins. Who are they for? I think I have a plan for a stash for the grandkids… as they need “grownup” reins (length is 8′ – much too long for short pony necks), maybe there will be enough of them…
Presents!
So, I have to say… you readers are amazing. Every once in a while, you just floor me. I received a very long package in the mail the other day… a surprise gift from one of you! Well, we’d kind of talked about it. Then I totally forgot about it… and now, here they were….
