Minor Felony
Thanks for your questions about Bravo and his toenail. It was repaired quite easily by the vet, in fact, Bravo didn’t even flinch. Vernon and I were more squeamish as the vet yanked the nail off than Bravo! It still makes me shiver but Bravo didn’t even blink an eye. He was tender footed yesterday,…
It’s Pronounced ‘Cedar’
Daniel and Brandon each have their own personal herds. Daniel raises registered Angus. Brandon’s focus is selling his grass fed beef. They each have their own schedules for artificially inseminating and, therefore, calving their little bunches. I missed the work with the ranch’s herd (babysitting instead) and Daniel’s, but since Brandon tends to work his…
Music of the Meadowlark
Though it threatened, no rain fell here today. The wind decided to blow instead and the road is quickly drying from its persistent breath. We helped Brandon with his cows this morning, then took a tour of the Mesa Pasture… back for lunch while we waited for the vet to show up to check something…
Poppies and Cornflowers
The idea of time lapse photography of the clouds and storms rolling in didn’t work today, as about 5 am, lightning and thunder started popping and the rain descended. All day it has rained off and on, giving us half an inch of moisture. It’s lifted and returned and come in waves and disappeared. I’m…
Clouds and Swallows
Clear, brilliant blue skies build cloud after cloud, each one darker than the last. At some magical tipping point, the clouds release their darkness and a localized spot will receive lightning, thunder, maybe some hail, and a downpour of rain. It tends to be focused not widespread. The other night with blinding cracks and flashes,…
#TBT: I’d Like to Introduce to You… v.2.0
This was first posted June 10, 2012. And… oh… what youngsters they were! Happy Anniversary! This weekend was the wedding… so I had an excused absence from blogging last night! Let me update you! Brandon and Megan chose to be married next to the original Joe Henry homestead… the same place we had our Centennial Celebration 3…

Ranch Kid City Kid Video
Well, I did it. I made my first video in a long time on my iPad. It definitely took getting used to! This is what I was working on when my desktop crashed. Lacee had spent a great deal of time coaching me on how to edit. She told me it should go to black…
Stunning
Well, my computer may be toast. It’s on its way to an IT guy and out of my hands. It will be strange but I will have to start using my iPad for everything, so long as I can get my camera to be friendly, I should be fine. My bazillion photos should be saved…
Soggy
My desktop is still out of commission. I’ll place a call tomorrow to see if I can get help. Our Sunday “off” had me unloading a pile of rotting straw onto various garden beds. Vernon took a two hour tour making sure our cows were doing ok and staying in the right spot. Finally, after…
Goodnight
I showed up to watch our heifers come home. They’ve been wintering in Worland and where the guys have just finished AI-ing them. Now they’re home and, boy, they were happy to get out on grass! I had driven my little white truck down so I didn’t ride. They were trailing the heifers not even…
