There’s all sorts of news today… *The shed is entirely gone… destroyed in an hour or so and hauled away after a few more hours. Bare ground, a few poles, and some concrete chips are all that’s left. *The pivot is assembled and plumbed. Electricity still needs to be changed and then rewired. The roll…

Quaint Character
Those calves we weaned yesterday? We vaccinated, weighed, and poured them today! We did, however, wait until after lunch as it was RAINING again this morning! YAY! About halfway through, Johnny switched with me, so I ran the scales! And I had that thought again… why can’t I remember Windex when we’re coming here? The…
Another Day Done
We preg tested and weaned our last little bunch today as well as helped the neighbors with theirs. We’ve leased some pasture from them, so it’s easy enough to do… You just have to play Shuffle the Cows! Gather our bunch, sort off the calves, start pregging and start hauling the calves away in the…

Edited
Sometimes photos just don’t turn out… Sometimes the focus is out of whack… Sometimes it’s just not right. Sometimes photographic editing and creativity helps tremendously!

I Love Questions…
Just another day at the library… though I must admit, my last minute Story Time theme of Pirates turned out rather well… Our regular person couldn’t make it, so we read The Treasure, made skull and crossbone flags, searched for diamonds and jewels (leftovers from Mardi Gras), and found a treasure chest in the back…
Pet Peeve #532
Pet peeve #532. So fifty feet away from Quinlan and I, is a corral full of commercial Angus… and I have to read a “farm” book to my grandson where all the cows are spotted. Please, someone write a kid’s book where there are BEEF cattle represented! Sigh. **** September 16, 2011 Eggs and Tomatoes…

Git ’em!
Long day. Great morning… riding through the trees… listening to elk bugle! Took video, it’s dusty and noisy with wind and camera noise, but if you pay attention, you definitely hear those bulls bugling and grunting. No time to upload it, though, after getting home, I started cooking for tomorrow’s big day. Maybe in a…
