I missed the Horse Show… but between Jaxon, Lacee, and Lorelei… there were 13 ribbons. Whoop, whoop! Jaxon got Reserve Champion Intermediate Horse Showman and Lorelei got 1st in Junior Trail riding. Today was the Swine Show with Quinlan in FFA and Lorelei in 4H. The Fair Results Page lists Quinlan as 1st in Dark…
For Hire
For Hire: One English Shepherd female with an extremely fluffy coat. Willing to run into brush and along creek beds or just the edges of your field. Her specialty? Collecting any available burrs, with a special emphasis on Houndstongue. By the stalk or individually, this little girl can get it done! Price varies, as it…
Good Thing
Vernon asked if I’d go with him to drive back the side by side while he drove the little excavator back from the latest water project. Sure thing…. Best of all, I decided I’d go fishing along the way! We’ve both recently received our Pioneer Fishing Licenses. They’re the lifetime fishing licenses for old people…
Today in Buffalo…
Longmire Days, Buffalo, Wyoming. Yup. It’s been a while…. BFF and I went in pursuit of: Longmire actors… (saw three… in passing) Friends made over the years… (missed two, visited with one) (no photo, rats!) Air conditioning and cold drinks… (96* and there is nothing but lemonade in the cup so, of course, we weren’t…
Rah Rah Raspberries
Victoria came over for a quick visit and I instantly put her and her three boys to work. Three and a half hours later… I have never had such raspberries! I’ve always done what they say… trim them back completely, trim them back partway, I would get a handful or two of berries. This winter……
Throwback Thursday: Yeehaw, v.2.0
This was first posted July 18, 2015. It was a close race between a tipi q&a post and this one with the grandkids in the kids rodeo. I absolutely couldn’t resist looking back on these precious ones! So… another long day, though very enjoyable and actually COOL. Yes, folks, I said, COOL. 99.9% of Kids’ Rodeo…
Wordless Wednesday: Harvest

Another pasture gathered.
Recommend
I’m trying something new and thought I’d share. In my chicken coop, my nesting boxes are actually five gallon buckets. It’s a battle to keep straw in these buckets. Straw helps keep your eggs clean, plus it cushions them, because sometimes chickens are weird and they will lay standing up! But chickens being chickens, they…
Evening Gather
An evening gather avoided the high heat of the day… though, by no means, was it cool. The glow of the setting sun made for neat highlights. As they dropped into the field, flies and mosquitoes were everywhere, making for lots of swishing tails and kicks at their bellies. Not everyone was convinced this was…
