Dally came in heat and was standing last Sunday. Last time she had pups was in 2012 when she was bred to Bubba, a big, dark sable from Shoshoni, Wyoming. Then there was the trip last year to Idaho, where Tank, inexperienced gentleman that he was, refused to breed her although she flirted as much…
Honey Tales
There’s wildflowers out. A few yellow bells, some white phlox, and by my garage, even some dandelions. Yippee! I know I didn’t use to cheer dandelions, but I do now. In February, my bees were happy. In March, they were humming right along. I went to check them last week… and… sigh… Messopotamia was gone. …
Sweet Easter
I hope you found some happiness, or something sweet! on this Easter Day!
Cool Goose
Some of you made some guesses about yesterday’s photo… and what was unique about it. You’re right in that the baby calf was Brand New. At most, he was two hours old! But although they seemed to be the focus of that picture, what I wanted you to notice was at the top left. Can…
Cows Know
Even though I had spent a great amount of time driving to Billings and back, I made a decision Sunday to take another drive. Dally was in standing heat, and, I thought, it’s now or never… so I made plans to drive south this time to a stud dog near Shoshoni, Wyoming. A couple of…

When I Can
Seems like I’ve been going and going… Well, at least driving and driving! Up to Billings Friday and back on Saturday, then a trip to Shoshoni Sunday and again today! If I can stay out of a car tomorrow I’ll be happy! Yes, for those who commented about me passing up that crewel rug… Believe…
Rescued and Reclaimed
Okay. LONNNG day yesterday, got home at midnight. No, wasn’t gonna post. Pretty good day today too, and it’s 11 pm, and I figured if I didn’t say SOMETHING, maybe some of you would start to worry! First of all, a BIG THANK YOU to Kari Lynn Dell who was my guest blogger Friday night. …

National Poetry Month
Working at the library today, we started to set up for April, National Poetry Month. We’re not really big on poetry… I must confess… but the boss had a great idea. She has some old metal trays and I spent some quality time on Amazon buying magnetic poetry kits. Since I promoted it at the…
