This was first published May 25, 2012. 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….

1000% Better
On our jaunt up the mountain over to Bayer Creek, I was pretty sure I hadn’t shown you the new style of fence we had built. If I have, sorry to repeat myself! Vernon spends many an hour building and repairing fence. You need to have cattle that respect fence (so they don’t go wandering…
Cool
Until last weekend, Vernon and I had a good record of attempting the drive up our mountain in our little side by side. The first trip we made it halfway up what we call “Aunt Mary’s Hill”, the first steep pitch. The next weekend it was to a P’s cattle guard. Two Sundays ago, we…
Dream Come True
It seems like too much of a title for this, but it is something I’ve wanted for years. It sounds like it should be accompanied by Disney music and a princess in a long dress, with perhaps singing birds and giggling mice doing the housework. We all have dreams and I just bought mine. Let…
There Was This
I keep thinking I will make two videos. One of the local wildlife I’ve been filming and one where I will answer many of the questions that have been posed recently… then I start doing yard work and I get distracted! I’ve mowed and rototilled and cleaned and repaired and trimmed and pitched… and my…

812
She had her calf. Brandon had tagged it at one day of age. Weeks ago, we took the pairs in her pasture out to the badlands. Except 812. On our creek crossing day I wrote about, Brandon had thought he had seen the calf, but we didn’t make it to the corral with it. We…
Excursion
After a great morning visiting with Brandon and his crew for Mother’s Day (and Megan helping me to order more Red Dirt In My Soul books!) … and then Daniel’s crew… and then lunch, Vernon and I were discussing what to do. All of the recent rain had put an ending to our weekly trips…
Enjoyed
I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day.
