Thankfully, my sister and brother-in-law are fantastic gardeners. They didn’t get hit with hail twice like I did, either! Check out ONE of my sister’s onions… ONE. Four cups diced from ONE onion is a pretty good sized onion! They also shared tomatoes and peppers… so… salsa, here I come. I ended up with 19…
Frog Eye Salad
Since I mentioned it as part of the preg testing day menu, a few people have asked me for my Frog Eye Salad recipe. This recipe has been around quite a while… I imagine I got it from my mom. I remember Frog Eye Salad at brandings and funerals and carry-in dinners. Now you hardly…
Going For Gift
Finally, I get to share! My gift has arrived and now I can show my latest woodburning project. It began as a recycled wood sign. I sanded off the brown paint, and gave myself a new canvas. I expected more of a pine board, but it is a hardwood, I believe… and it wasn’t that…
Good Timing
Do we have good timing or what? Preg testing cows… and it’s foggy, cold, and not quite pleasant. I arrived late with the grandkids… and set up lunch in the salt shed. My view barely let me see the squeeze chute and people working in the corral. The Cousin Crew was happy for hot chocolate….
Riding In the Bottom of a Cloud
(continued from yesterday’s post) We’d had a full slate of gathering and pregnancy testing our heifers. Normally, we’d follow the vet down the mountain, calling it a day, especially to escape the strong winds that had blown constantly. But there was a debate. Bad weather was supposed to come in later in the week, when…
Just Beginning
I’m passing on #Throwback Thursday this week… And sharing my wonderful Tuesday with you instead! We were to preg test our heifers. Sounds easy enough. First you gather the pasture. Enjoy riding past the tiny little fairy waterfall… Take the heifers up and over the hill and down to the corral… Then figure out how…
Wordless Wednesday : Reflection
For your weekly jigsaw puzzle… go HERE.
Update
I’m cold, tired, and sore… and definitely ready for bed. Big day of preg testing heifers. I’ll share the story later, but let’s catch up first with some little sweetheart.
Family Portraits
Megan, Lorelei, Quinlan, Brandon Tessia, Jaxon, Lacee, Daniel
Hard Working Girl
As I looked through photos from the other day… there was one that stood out. This one that Lorelei took. There’s Lacee, holding the heavy pipe that blocks the gate stop Brandon is holding. I asked Tess about it. She said Lacee did it for the whole time they worked. It was her job. That’s…
This
It was going to be a “Pony Day”… Four grandkids riding this smallish pasture, so to let their all the parents go along, that left me and my little bitty partner, Reagan, at home. As usual, I miss being in the middle of the action… but sharing the delight of “Patty Cake” has its own…
Born Where
Born In A Barn. My annual trip to the “local” craft/repurpose/recycle/vintage/antique market complete with live music and food and drink was today! Ninety vendors. That’s very good for Wyoming! This place has grown and grown! The best part? Is that my girls… my sister, daughter, daughters-in-law, and granddaughter all got to go together and share…
