With the recent heat, it’s nice to watch the snow in this video from April 1 – 16! The False Spring continues and I burn a little extra weed patch along my garden fence. I put some grandkids to work, digging, cleaning, and dehydrating what carrots I have left over from winter. My husband works…
#TBT: No Challenge, v.2.0
This was first posted July 22, 2011. Challenges come in all forms and sizes. My last challenge was one I did not relish. Since my pocketbook is too tight for me to hire the vet to drive the 47 miles to my house from his clinic… I was faced with driving my Durango full of…
Wordless Wednesday: ”A Girl and Her Painted Pony”
This view makes me allergize, but if you’d like to put together a jigsaw puzzle of Lorelei sitting in the mountain grass with her painted pony (left over from the costume contest), go HERE.
Wonders
Victoria and boys came back over to help move another bunch of cattle… We had six grandkids mounted and five adults. We do tend to take a while getting ready with that many horses to saddle! We were off and hauling up the mountain. Victoria’s boys haven’t spent that much time in the saddle, so…
Waiting
Horribly hot here about like everywhere else… I’ve been able to hide out inside catching up on house duties… and watering my lawn and garden! Tomorrow’s high is predicted to ”only” be 88°, so cow work coming up! This photo was from the other day… waiting for the cows and calves to find each other…
Rodeo Time
Let’s see… It’s super hot… work on the ranch is temporarily on hold… must be time for the Kids Rodeo! Lacee carried the Wyoming flag in the Grand Entry… Jaxon and Quinlan and two others sang the National Anthem… With that… we’re off to another year of competition. First up, the costume contest! Reagan was…
Welcome to Bayer Creek
We took our cows to a new pasture today. I was dreading it, knowing we might have to trail through another pasture full of cattle. Thankfully, most of those cattle had moved on… so our new trail was a pretty easy drive! We only had to correct the girls a few times, thankfully, they were…
#TBT: En Garde, v.2.0
This was first published July 17, 2011. Someone said to me the other day, “Isn’t it ironic the overabundance of water this spring has cost us the shortage of water this summer?” Translation:Our irrigation of our fields is now JUST STARTING. Vernon and the boys have worked and worked and hired LARGE excavators to repair…
Wordless Wednesday: ”Refreshing”
Never fear, I’m still here! After a scheduled power outage yesterday, my router was unhappy… no wifi for me! The new one was dropped off and I installed it after work today, so here I is! For a jigsaw puzzle of Daniel watering his horse and dogs… go here.
Still Calving Season Video
Finally! After months of being lazy, I got around to making another video! This one covers way back in March, the 21st through the 30th. I hope to crank out some more videos soon, just to catch up!
Some Days
Some days… a little attitude can be helpful.
