I got Gramma to go along with me to feed calves with the team yesterday. We even drove up the crick and looked at the bean to see if I needed to take more up.

Worked on my bob sled and some leather too. For supper I made tortilla’s (smiling country’s recipe) and Cindy made enchilada’s. Mmmm boy, as Andy Griffith used to say!

W got some big ol’ silver dollar snowflakes yesterday for a bit and I tried to take pictures of them as they were falling, but they didn’t work very well. We are supposed to get from 1 to 3 inches out here it sounds like with more in the Hills and to the eastern part of the state. I don’t know why people are getting so excited. It is after all December and almost the first of the year. We’ve had a good run and I hope the cows can keep on grazing, but if they can’t, we have feed. This is South Dakota and I have spent more winters feeding in December than I haven’t, in my half century plus in this great state.

I bet them who want a White Christmas will be happy. I am thinking of trying to build a sled for the grandkids, to pull behind the bob sled or wagon with the team. That would be fun. I found all kinds of pictures of dog sleds and such. Now, to get it done!

  1. We’re hoping to hold off feeding the cows until January but this is Alberta and most of the time we’re at least feeding some by now. It’s snowing again here today too.

  2. My husband broke down and started feeding Monday.
    Of course, only half the herd came to hay. The rest
    stayed out and picked. They have lick tubs too so they are fine. Bang’d the heifers yesterday. I called the vet’s office to get a bill total so I could pay the vet while he was there. She said to ask him because she didn’t know how much ‘he was going to charge us’.
    HUH?
