A little fox kit strikes a pose almost identical to a photo I took for the March 2011 entry on last year’s calendar… This time there are either 4 or 5 kits, although I never seem to catch them! Obviously, at least for those of you living in the general area, this wasn’t taken today! …
Snuggle In
After avoiding the “scattered thunderstorms” for a couple of days… the clouds settled in and finally blessed us with some moisture. The mountain is draped in white, and it is COLD. It’s 35º out there right now. I’ve built a fire and yanked another blanket on the bed. I managed to do some outside work…

Slow Down
Things are starting to get crazy here. Yesterday’s .8″ of rain slowed us down a bit, but now that it’s over, we’re going every direction your imagination could create! We helped a neighbor brand a few calves today as well… I think I shall blame part of my chaos on something to do with this…
More
More. Counting them out the gate. The crew. Brandon through the heat waves and ash. More chaps. *Yes, you can buy prints of any of my photos. I’ll put my store link back up, and you can buy them through there. Thanks for the interest!* **** May 18, 2011 Wordless Wednesday – “Seeing…
Branding
I say this every year… If only I could photograph branding instead of working, I’d have much much better photos to share! As it is… they’re OK. I was kept hopping the first bit as our first ropers were catching calves right and left. The camera barely left my pocket. Then as other ropers took…

Own Tale
Well, no photos of the food I cooked, lawn I watered, laundry I washed, diapers I changed, or chickens I fed. Thank goodness for small favors! Needless to say, this day has been hectic. The crew didn’t have a much better day… our cows wandered out of their range… and didn’t want to go back……
Good Dirt
I have done it. I finally have a garden spot built! The garden isn’t IN, mind you… but the place is there! We still had frost this morning, so the pressure isn’t on quite yet. I’d love to have a few things in the ground like potatoes and onions… and I’ll accomplish that soon. But…
