The thing about this past branding… When we’re done branding and eating… We’re NOT finished. There’s one big obstacle left called, in usual imaginative Wyoming terms, “The Big Grey Ridge”. So everyone that has brought a pony, and has the time to help, joins in. The first part is easy. The second part can be…
Teams
The guys rose early and went to help a neighbor brand. I slept in. I admit it. I slept in. Until 7:30 when my eyes flew open in a panic! What was I forgetting???? Nothing. Nada. I rolled over and grabbed my library book and SPENT THE NEXT HOUR IN BED READING. I admit that…
First Branding
Can you spell sorrel? The red horses win! Out here we call ’em sorrels… back east, they might be called chestnut. Either way, they’re red! (YES… for you detail oriented people… one is a paint and one is a bay, but at first glance!) The day is over. It was CHILLY, though it was predicted…
Get Ready
Ready or not, here it comes. Today I’d get something done, then lay down for a bit, and then get up and cook some more. Thank goodness I went with Matt’s suggestion of Frito Pie for branding again. I did it last year and it was very easy… I’m so glad I’m not having…
Driveway Gift
I don’t feel good and didn’t accomplish a thing for branding. That means tomorrow I HAVE to cook while the kids and friends gather the pasture. Hate to miss it, but just couldn’t motivate. Not looking for sympathy, just stating a fact! The rain did leave me a gift at the end of my driveway……
Wordless Wednesday – “A Little Rounder”
Dally starts to show her pregnancy… a little rounder… a little sleepier… a little more contemplative… **** May 11, 2010 Enough For Her (one of my favorite entries!) May 11, 2009 Rush Rush May 11, 2008 No entry.
Stay Tuned
So after our 2 day run to Laramie and back, it was back to farming. With the late spring and plentiful moisture, the guys have been squeezing in any farming they could do anywhere! I’ve been trying to finish painting the basement, and since we know how boring that is… I took my doggies for…
Where the Laughter Remains
So we made that 6 hour car trip to Laramie… pretty much exactly like last year… except… It was Brandon graduating, not Daniel. We didn’t try to do it all in one day (who’s getting smarter?) The windmill farm is now complete. We met someone infamous (if you’re a Wyoming Cowboy fan). (OK, FYI, this…
3 For 3
I’ve been gone. Thanks to a scheduler on my blog posts, you probably didn’t even miss me! Today has me catching a cold and sore and tired from my trip. So I’m cheating again. I’m going to write when I feel better again, and right now isn’t it! But here’s my reason for my trip….
Brandon’s Day
It’s Brandon’s Day. I’ll explain why tomorrow! **** May 7, 2010 Indian Room and Q & A May 7, 2009 Gardening Dogs May 7, 2008 Mountain Trip
