After finishing some new earrings and packaging some for shipment, I decided the afternoon needed to be spent outside. While it wasn’t a brilliant sunny day, it was warm-ish, overcast, and no breeze. I tagged along after Vernon. If a cow happened to be in my path, calving, hey, it’d be a win for you…
Ranch Life in February Video
I got out of the habit of making my Re-Red videos… making instead my Valentino, calving, work ethic, and mountain lion videos. So, today, I tried to catch up, covering most of the month of February. Since you’ve seen so much in the other videos… this one is fairly short. I feel better, though, and…
Quit That
Probably not the best position to nurse from… but acceptable. Acceptable if your mother is being nice. In this case, this heifer is not going to win any Mother Of The Year awards. She’s a first time mom, a little ignorant, and the pair is being kept in solitary confinement until their bond is solid…
Oh, You…
Oh, you little tease, Mother Nature… you send us a beautiful 60 degree day with sunshine. Tomorrow is supposed to bring us snow. Vernon decided to move the cows that haven’t calved out to the old highway. I stayed home to visit with our lawyer after lunch. By the time I arrived to see if…
#TBT: Antler Hunting, v.2.0
This was first posted March 26, 2010. For those of us with “cabin fever” … these fleeting springlike days are great temptations to get OUT…OUT of our jobs, our houses, our ruts…and hike in temperatures higher than 20 degrees…with no knee deep mud…or knee deep snow.We can walk and see what the winter brought and…
Wordless Wednesday: “In the Fading Light”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE.
Unmotivated
I haven’t ventured far from my house. I’ve tried to finish up my earrings and necklaces and get them ready for sale, and I’m not sure what else is occupying my time… The cows are calving… Vernon has fixed fence, Daniel and Brandon have put new tracks on the excavator… and I’ve helped with none…
Earrings
Need to finish some still… and a couple of the larger ones I’m turning into necklaces (not pictured). All woodburned with acrylic paint, some with wood stain.
Meanwhile…
While the southern part of Wyoming received 2-3’, yes, FEET, of snow since yesterday… and then the wind blew… I sat here with simply overcast skies and a smidge of rain… and finished up some crafts. I made some earrings too. I’ll share those tomorrow.
Ranch Q&A Video.
Well, my apologies. Come to find out, YouTube doesn’t just let anyone go “live”. So my Q&A for this morning had to be done on Facebook. It’s now available on YouTube and, HERE!
Queen of the Hay Bale
I think I could start a photo folder entitled, “Things I See On My Way Home from Work”. When I spotted this, I *had* to flip a “U-ie”. Uey? U-E? YOOEEEEEEE? So I turned around, hoping she hadn’t moved. Nope. Not concerned. She stayed there for quite a while, actually! I think the deer are…
#TBT: Nice, Kitty, Kitty, v2.0
This was first posted March 13, 2010. Last year’s entry about today’s event was labeled “Herding Cats“. In it, I elaborated how much moving baby calves was a painful, frustrating process which let me lose my temper and get disgusted at anything with Angus blood and 4 hooves. And a few other moving things…Today’s version…
