Today was payday. The yearling steers we sold last week were shipped to the buyer today. We are all there, plus our “rep” or salesman, the brand inspector, the vet, the truck drivers. We run them across our scales first, getting weights on groups of 10 or so, and averaging them. Then they’re loaded on…

Mother’s Day
Still no chicks… rats! I thought it would be perfect if they arrived on Mother’s Day! We did get snow… not much, but there’s plenty of wet slush in the rest of the Cowboy State. Here, it really started just up the road… My lilacs may feel this storm… I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s…
Happy Birth Day
We’d like to welcome grandchild #7 to the fold! Matthew Lawson Davis joins his twin brothers Waylon and Wyatt Davis. He was born six hours before his scheduled C-section… an overachiever? He was a healthy 7 pounds, 11 ounces and 21″ long. Everyone is doing fine. Like his brothers, the parents prefer his face not…
Family Operation
It’s a busy time around here… We can put cows out on our BLM allotments now, so the guys have been working on that, and finally, today, I actually got to ride along! Yesterday was a process day… and everyone was there to help. Here’s Johnny working the alleyway, and four of his great grandchildren…
Sweet Easter
I hope you found some happiness, or something sweet! on this Easter Day!
Still Cook
Sometimes having all these outbuildings is a blessing… and sometimes a curse. It means you have room to store STUFF, which means you have a tendency to store STUFF.

Roll Call
Well, Victoria and the twins were here since last night… so this morning was quality time with the boys spending time with chickens for a bit… then it was off to the sledding hill. This chinook wind has cut the snow level around here tremendously, and our little hill was in slick and fast form. …
Successful
His blocks came in a little blue zippered bag with a “J” on it. I do believe he liked them. Too many things and people, so they didn’t get investigated fully… but I took this as meaning he was interested! Happy Birthday, Jaxon! I’d say it was was a successful present!
Puzzle Blocks
Little Jaxon will have his second birthday party tomorrow. Today I worked on one of his presents. Puzzle blocks. They turned out so well, I have to share! I cruised through my stash of Little Golden Books… and I found Wiggles. Published in 1954. The book is older than I am! But it had a…
Wear Some Clothes Today, Eh?
“Wear some clothes today, eh?” was the recommendation of my husband this morning. Before your imagination runs amok, it was his way of telling Victoria and I that it was cold outside and that warm clothing was the order of the day. So, layered up with fleece-lined jeans and chinks, t-shirt, flannel shirt, sweatshirt, gloves,…
Happy Halloween!
