Butcher’s Foothills Elsa
English Shepherds were unknown to me just a few years ago. After purchasing Lucas from Mary Peaslee’s Shepherd’s Way, I soon discovered the dog I’d always desired. Devoted, loving, able to work and able to relax… this dog would fit into ranchlife just perfectly. Fate intervened and Lucas was injured. I honestly didn’t know if…
Oh, Else
Thank you all. As the emotions swirl, and I struggle between tears and bouts of ragged coughing, her presence lingers strongly. My Golden Girl. My Sweetheart. Elsa Dear. I roam this blog, in hunt for entries mentioning her name. Her photos appear just as softly as she moved along my side. But best of all,…

Something Better and a Love Story
Well, the highlight of my day was getting a prescription for my cough. It was a miserable night last night… I’m shooting for something better tonight.

Good Month
It was an aggravating day spent mainly on the computer. Plus I woke up with practically no voice and a ragged cough. Oh, joy. The computer haggle was all about placing an order for large photo prints… which I eventually accomplished. See, March is going to be a Good Month. First of all, we start…

More and More Fun
I probably messed up… It was a warmish day, in the thirties, with sunshine for the first bit. I decided I was going to prime my ceiling boards for the studio, even if it wasn’t 50º. I hauled out a heater, turned it on, and felt it start kicking out heat. I then went to…
