Eden Country
I interrupt the story of landscapes (yesterday) and civilization (soon to come) with this snapshot of Eden. I like it!
Happy Dog
OK, when it takes me 45 minutes to get this far… to type these first words… it ain’t gonna be a long post! Obviously, my computer is having some difficulties… too many photos perhaps??? So, short and sweet. Idaho’s wildfire smoke has arrived, making for ugly skies except for sunrise and sunset. I rode along…
Neverfail
No such luck on the night time lapse on my GoPro… TOO DARK! I’ll have to figure that out… Took time lapses on the mountain today, but I’m still recharging the camera, so I’m not sure if they worked. I CANNOT see the display without my reading glasses, so it’s so frustrating if I want…
DeSkunk
It was bound to happen… that aromatic whiff that gags you when your dog walks by… The pitiful looks of not understanding when she is banished to the far reaches of the yard… (I wish!) And finally, when the chance arises, the saving grace of DeSkunking Shampoo! Step One: Gather your ingredients. One quart of…
Minute Movie: “Eden: Bog Dog”
As you regular readers know, there are bogs at the end of our mountain trail. So after hours of travel, when people and horses and dogs are tired, the cows usually fall off the trail into the bogs to get a drink and get cool. You can’t ride your horse in there, because they will…
So Tall
Cows to the mountain! Short night, long day. I ran the “chuck wagon” which is entirely weird for me… but that meant I got to use my big camera. I always forget what better photos it takes! I took Eden and Dally, and they were confused with me in the car not horseback… but when…
Eden
With all the cow work going on, and, Dally being “out of the action” (or so I thought), I decided I’d let Eden tag along on some days. I worked her with Lucas, by herself, and then, at the end of the week, with Dally. She is not quite one, her birthday is in a…
FAIL
We were home and finished by 6:30 today. Amazing. And Vernon cooked a frozen pizza. Yay! I fell asleep on the couch for a bit, then woke up to lock up my chickens and feed the dogs. Sidenote from cattle moving: I fail at animal husbandry. I started with two broody hens and about 20…
Lunch at 9:30 PM
Lunch at 9:30 pm means you’ve had a lonnngggg day. No puppies… Either I can’t count or Dally can’t… Took Eden and Lucas out to help about 11 am. Turns out they’d gathered most of our cows, which meant a loooooonnnnng time sorting and trailing and mothering up… then they sent us four wheeler cowboys…
Ornaments
The old International pickup. The old International pickup with ornaments “under the hood”.
