Replacements
Over a few days, they flocked overhead, sailing on tipped wing in circles above my house. It was perfect for a Halloween movie. Vultures. Cemetery. Eerie music. Well, I only had the turkey vultures and a little roadkilled buck by the highway! They filled this tree. They roosted in their usual cottonwood. Flapping wings and…
Easy Saturday
A little flag football… go, Quinlan! A little studio time… Some sorting and nail removal from the woodpile. Easy Saturday.
Stormcloud
Had to post this pic… No filters. No adjustments. Just wet red dirt and a storm cloud.
#TBT: Exertional Rhabdomyolysis, v.2.0
THIS WAS FIRST POSTED OCTOBER 3, 2008. HONESTLY, ONE OF THE WORST DAYS I EVER HAD. Sounds yucky, huh? Well, I can attest with my hand over my heart, tears in my eyes, and a sinking heart, that it is much more than yucky to witness. What is it? Basically it is when your dog…

Wean Weight
For the past couple of days we’ve weighed our weaned calves. Now that they’re all settled down, quiet, and almost ready to be turned into a field to continue eating undisturbed for a while… we grab their ‘wean weight’. As babies at their mommas’ sides, they’ve learned how to be a cow… where to go,…

Rocket Stove
There was more rain today… but we will take it over the four feet of snow they had in Montana! We visited my sister, who showed me how her rocket stove worked. Now, I had Brandon help me make this present for her last year, but, in my typical fashion, I gave it to her…
Rainy Day
Rain and more rain… so… Twelve more pints of salsa!
Small Town Homecoming Parade
Small town homecoming parade… It was raining pretty good… and the decorations were looking a bit bedraggled. It seemed like the kids had fun… even with car problems. It was over quickly… and the tour bus and truck drivers and tourists enjoyed being a part of it as the crowd dispersed towards the school…
#TBT: Here They Come… There They Go, v.2.0
This was first posted September 25, 2008. My sister took this picture for me… I love it. Here we all are, well, my sister and my husband are both following us with the pickup and horsetrailer… But look! It’s US! After a long day of cowboyin’, we ride for the corral, shadowing a puny feeling…
