We hoped it would rain today, but the shower that did finally go over us only dropped .04”. These random rain showers are hit or miss. So far, we still qualify for “miss” status. This evening we celebrated Lacee’s sixth birthday even though it was actually a few days ago. Last week I took her…
So Much
There has been *so much* going on… We did four solid days of riding. I rode on two of the days and babysat the other two. Bravo went the first day and Eden the second. We were all pretty tired… the kids as well, since they either got up early to go to another house,…
#TBT: Please Stand By…, v.2.0
This was first posted June 1, 2009. After 3 days of riding, I got the day “off”. I’ve cooked the branding meal for tomorrow…Lasagna, breadsticks, corn, salad, jello salad, Monster cookies, toffee nut bars, peppermint brownies, and ice cream. I didn’t cook the ice cream. But ice cream counts since it is an important part…

What I’ve Missed
Thought I would post a video from the other morning, only to find that my mouse on my desktop computer is dead… poor little mousey. That leaves me with my iPad, and while it’s possible to do, I’m riding tomorrow, and that means a wake up call of 4 am. I’m *not* gonna stay up…
First Gather
Early morning. It’s time to gather our pairs from the badlands pasture. We leave our yearling steers behind and the neighbor’s cattle for a bit longer, but we’re ready to pull our cows out and put them into a different pasture. If you look closely in the photo, you might just be able to make…
Fish Pond 1.5
Well, I *was* going to finish it today… but somehow LIFE got in the way… My baby chicks arrived. ALIVE! Sixth birthday photos for Lacee. Mowing the lawn because well… lawn’s GROW… Fast moving storms around and about shut me down early. We didn’t get much rain here, but it rained and hailed south of…
Fish Pond
A new/old or old/new work in progress… something. My house was built in 1952. Sometime after that, a small, square fishpond was installed in the corner of my yard. My old house had a “water feature” as well, but it is covered up and forgotten. I suppose they were all the rage back then, as…
#TBT: More Crabapples, v.2.0
This was first posted May 28, 2009. Just because…here are more visits to the crabapple tree!

Homestead Views
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…
