One thing to be said for not having much garden produce… there’s not much to can! My first canning job of the year was sweet pickle relish. Most of the cucumbers were from my sister. I think I am down to one jar from a few years ago, so I’m happy to be restocked. We…
Second Round Video
(Sorry this is late. Gave up on waiting for it to upload!) Once again, we move a herd into the corral to vaccinate the calves. Short video clips take you through the entire day. We gather early in the morning and take them over to the corral. Calves are sorted from their mothers who noisily…
Repeat Day
Another day. Another repeat of two weeks ago. I missed the day of trailing some cattle but there they were, munching happily. I made short videos throughout the day thinking I can quickly smash them together into a video, but when I arrived home, I went to work on making some sweet pickle relish. Tomorrow…
#TBT: We Amaze Me, v.2.0
This was first posted September 4, 2012. Gee, Carol, how many horses can you fit into your horse trailer? Well, today, obviously a few more than the six we usually squeeze in there! OK. I’ll say it first. You might be a redneck if… Instead of getting a car hauler, you decide you can fit…

Memories
There was quite the outpouring of love for National Center West after yesterday’s post. Comments on Facebook were many. So, for those of you who know what I’m talking about, Looking towards the Big A. Double click and enlarge the photo and the big water tank still sets just off off center… Looking towards Saddle…
Magical Place
For my Girl Scout friends… Sound familiar? Yup. Vernon and I went for a drive this afternoon and we ended up close to Onion Gulch. For those many of you who did NOT work at Girl Scout National Center West, Onion Gulch was one of our camp sites where we took teenage girls on horse…
Serious Stuff
While I wasn’t in attendance, Vernon took a couple of photos of some serious stuff… I’m joking. We had started thinking of this last summer. Johnny had troubles with the plumbing in his house, and we were trying to remedy the situation. It is an old house and old plumbing and we hoped a thorough…
It Amazes Me
I had to work four days at the library this week, so I’m behind on photos of the ranch activities. As I drove up and installed my Jeep in the garage, I noticed Vernon at work in the shop. After shuffling the dogs around, Indy being in heat, I wandered over to see what Vernon…
#TBT: Always Exciting, v.2.0
This was first posted August 25, 2012. So the excitement of the day? Daniel came running over from the shed, looking for me and my dogs… a black bear was coming down the highway and crossed the cattle guard on the road into my house! I was working on my studio but came out to…
