This was first posted April 3, 2015. Even though I had spent a great amount of time driving to Billings and back, I made a decision Sunday to take another drive. Dally was in standing heat, and, I thought, it’s now or never… so I made plans to drive south this time to a stud…

Wordless Wednesday: Wintery Spring Day
For a jigsaw puzzle of this wintery spring day, go HERE.

Cold and Grey
Victoria takes a bit of her spring break to come home and just for a few hours, continue to do what she grew up loving to do… She helped Brandon with his chores of tagging baby calves and helping a little one get an extra meal. It may be work but I think it’s enjoyable,…
Yup, Nope
Victoria and crew are here for their spring break. House cleaning occupied my time, I’ll return to photos tomorrow. So, yup, no pics today!

Well Done
He might take off on a short run, chasing those irritating and noisy prairie dogs. But he’ll always keep an eye on me. When I move my CanAm, he’s there to jump in the back, ready to be by my side for any adventure. He’s patient. Well done, Bravo.

Assistance
We helped Daniel a bit with his huge project. Others chipped in some time as well. Daniel is installing a pivot, with an amazing array of pipe and angle iron and other pieces and 50,000 bolts and nuts. Jaxon had a pretty good grasp of what went where and how… and though we all managed…

Birds
Birds of all kinds have started to reappear…

Wordless Wednesday: Gulf Coast
For one last photo of the Gulf Coast… and its jigsaw puzzle… go HERE.

Round and Round
As Vernon and I worked on the last gate brace, we had help. Can you see the smiling face? Lacee was riding along as Daniel used the post pounder. She seemed to be having quite a good time. I’m sure there are photos of my kids building fence with Johnny… this scene hits close to…

Rebuilding and Replacing
I helped Vernon today, rebuilding and replacing worn out gate posts and braces. They were not pretty, we decided… There were all kinds. You can’t tell, but the cliff has eroded out from under this corner… One post good, the other… not so much… Vernon will come back and finish all the details. We just…

Fair Projects
This year’s extra fair projects have arrived. Two lambs each for Jaxon and Lacee. One pig each for Quinlan and Lorelei. It’s going to be “fairly” busy around here…
