Well, we got it done! I’m thrilled to officially introduce to you… Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Greet! Photo courtesy of David Huber Photography! I’ve known Dave for years, he’s an ambulance guy AND we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder at plenty of 4th of July Rodeos! He does great work, which is VERY GOOD, because I…
All Day
Yesterday, the boys and I, and various neighbors, gathered our steers and their cows and calves out of the Badlands Pasture. You’ll remember a few weeks ago, we rode and gathered most of ours and the neighbors’ from the same pasture and brought them home. One neighbor, however, left his cattle out there. With everyone’s…
Wordless Wednesday – “Miss Dally”
Miss Dally. Star of the Day.
Wordless Tuesday
I’m declaring Wordless Tuesday… enjoy!
Coming Atchya
Mow, mow, mow your lawn… and around everywhere else… Plus trim. (Thanks for your help, C.!) A little more yardwork, some housecleaning, a trip to town for groceries and a haircut, and don’t forget, we gather steers on Wednesday! Nothing like having it come atchya from all directions!
Daddy’s Girl
What story should I tell? What memory do I share? Since 1982, he’s been gone. Eight months after my marriage, my father passed away in his sleep… His five year battle with cancer finally over. It was still a shock. He’d been doing well, a bit confused the last few days, and if we’d been…
Go Look
The first of the hay has been baled. After two days of blissful non-allergy, I now have it again even with this baled! Too much still in the air from other sources, I guess! Like this, for instance… That’s not snow. That’s cotton from the cottonwood tree, floating in the air. I imagine pollen from…
Kudos
OK… Truth. I left yesterday to go to Casper… went to a library meeting with my boss/friend/personal shopper companion! After meetings we flew to stores… See, there’s this wedding coming up SOON (the 22nd!) and I have No Clothes… NOTHING LIKE LEAVING IT TIL THE LAST MINUTE! My friend deserves an award because: 1. I…

Wordless Wednesday – “Rollin’ In”
The first hay is cut… time for afternoon stormclouds to start rollin’ in.
Write That Down
First, I missed this question from Belle the other day for Q&A… Belle – When you brand your cattle, where do you put your brand? Is it important what part of the calf – right leg, left leg? When you sell your cattle then does it get branded by the new owner? I know you…
Sweets!
Babysat Jaxon and Quinlan. Cheered when Daniel cut down the grass hay around my house, hoping my allergies would subside somewhat. Visited with friends and watched “Longmire” on tv. That was it… So… Just for kicks… Here’s part of the branding crew… breaking out the Swisher Sweets!
