Vernon’s projects are much bigger than mine… and lately progress has been made… with much more to come! It began with this… and, today, it made it through Step Two! This is the reason we’re tearing down the shed and moving the granary… It’s not too hard to figure out… but I think I’ll ask…
Now Transforming
Since I’ve spent the past three days working at the library… doing our normal routine plus getting ready for our Harvest Dinner Fundraiser plus decorating for Halloween… I figured I’d share! The banner my coworker and I created Tuesday is just spiffy… Then my addition of cobwebs to the ceiling added just a smidge more…

Sweet Home

Next Assignment
Earlier this summer, this little pen looked like this: We have used it for some calves, though ever since a big windstorm and our purchase of the Mills Place, it hasn’t done heavy duty. The windstorm did quite the number on the roof and one side… and Vernon has a Big Project in the works….
Good Job
Today marked another year for the Scarecrow Contest at the library! Although we had fewer entries, the level of creativity was just as high… My favorite? Easily Brandon’s entry… Nicknamed “Daniel, the Ski Bum”! Hmmmm. The Daniel I know is more Sled Head than Ski Bum, so I don’t know who Brandon modeled his scarecrow…
No Rocks, But A Hard Place
We poured a little concrete today. Well, a truckful. Vernon and a local contractor jacked up the corner of the old welding shop that had fallen about a foot and a half. Remember me trying to find a flat area to weld my creations? Well, it’s repaired to some extent. This was just runny concrete……
Way Back
I recently received some old photos… and I LOVE old photos! So, from the Way Back Machine… Look at the pretty little Herefords Greet Ranch used to raise… And even further back… this country was built with good horses! **** October 11, 2011 Feel Inclined October 11, 2010 The Hands of Greet Ranch (one of…

Quaint Character
Those calves we weaned yesterday? We vaccinated, weighed, and poured them today! We did, however, wait until after lunch as it was RAINING again this morning! YAY! About halfway through, Johnny switched with me, so I ran the scales! And I had that thought again… why can’t I remember Windex when we’re coming here? The…
Another Day Done
We preg tested and weaned our last little bunch today as well as helped the neighbors with theirs. We’ve leased some pasture from them, so it’s easy enough to do… You just have to play Shuffle the Cows! Gather our bunch, sort off the calves, start pregging and start hauling the calves away in the…
