Happy 5th birthday, Quinlan!
Wordless Wednesday – “Big Horn Blue”
Happy 5th birthday, Quinlan!
Not Sure
When the weather throws us for a loop, there’s usually plenty of “inside” chores available. I, for one, spent the day COOKING! I know, my friends are reading this, choking, gagging, laughing, because I’m very fond of NOT COOKING. Well, it was cold and gloomy and after building a fire in my wood stove, I…
Salsa
The week *was* planned. Somehow, Mother Nature didn’t get the memo. We were to ride the mountain pasture today, gathering the cattle and putting them in the horse pasture for overnight… Then weaning tomorrow. Semi trucks had been ordered. The corral had undergone some repairs. Then the cold front hit bringing rain. Semi’s and wet…
Tack Repair
Perhaps I should have committed to making salsa today… but with all the riding coming up that we’re doing, I decided I should finish my repairs on some tack. Do you remember the ginormous wool saddle pad I made for Vernon? Two hundred dollars worth of wool and hours of work???? A pack rat made…
No Names
I put out a request on Facebook a few weeks back… looking for a cat or kitten to help with my mouse problem… I *did* receive quite the debate on the best mouse trap… but no felines. Then Megan knew of someone… and so… Here they are! Two? Yes, TWO. The last two of their…
Back to the Barn
Play day! I’ve gone to the “Born in a Barn” event near Sheridan for three years now… the first time, I also picked up a little puppy named Eden, Tess and I went last year, and this year, my sister and I took off for it! We blasted over the Big Horn Mountains… enjoying the…
#TBT: Strong Women
This country called for strong women! This is Edna Pyle, Johnny’s mother. Note the big pistol in the holster!
Working Well
More riding today… and early this morning at 48˚ with a wind blowing… that mountain was definitely feeling like fall! So when the tire on the horse trailer went flat… I just stayed inside the cab… not much for me to do but stand there and get cold! We’re getting awfully good at this… ah,…
Ding Ding
Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! I was thinking of ol’ blue eyes (Frank Sinatra, for you young‘uns) and his classic, “The Way You Look Tonight”. Way to go, dawdawsmom! Some day, when I’m awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way…
Touching My Foolish Heart
This doe and fawn antelope kept posing for me… I can’t resist a good volunteer! Even if they do wrinkle their nose at me! **** Sometimes I like unusual references for my title… anyone get this one??? How about a Q&A this month? Any questions out there or are we good??
Random Dog
Victoria and I debated on who was gonna ride, who was gonna watch her kids… and this morning at 6:20 when she woke me up…(!) I decided *she* was going to ride… and I’d corral her kids. Tonight, as my legs are still sore from yesterday, I’m very glad I didn’t spend another 8 hours…
