This is a picture of a neighboring rancher. This was taken a year ago at his son’s branding. He was 83 years old and still roping and dragging calves to the fire. I hope I can do the same at his age.

Here’s a picture of a tired girl and her watchful watchdog, tanke at the Artist Ride last year. Guess it was a late night the night before! 🙂

Went and fixed the fence the cattle tore down yesterday and found the cow with the missing calf. She had found her calf and jumped back in with the other cows. I just love a good momma cow! 🙂

I also saddled up and went and got a sore footed heifer and put her back in the pasture where she belonged.

The storm blew through yesterday evening and we didn’t have any fires. Hopefully we won’t this summer. After last summer, we are due for a break!

Now if we can just get some good rains throughout the west where it is dry, so we can stop the fires before they start.

Keep you fingers crossed!
