Went out and plugged in the tractor this morning as it was quite a ways below zero, so I thought I’d cheat, the wind was supposed to come up also…went back 3 hours later and it would barely turn over so I just harnessed up and fed. Really wasn’t all that bad… feeding with myContinue reading “Brisk!!!!!”

Dang females….
When I came home from Iowa I brought a brand new harness and two collars for Cindy for an Anniversary present….Heck, just the thing for a woman who has two young Halflingers to break to drive…I ain’t never had a new set of harness…well, she wasn’t satisfied with that wonderful gift so i had toContinue reading “Dang females….”
Home again home again….
Jiggity jog…. Bob and I left New Hampton at 10 mountain time and got here at 9 this morning.

Grrrrr….
One of those days… I woke up crabby and it just didn’t get any better. Cold with a little snowfall, maybe an inch or real fluffy powder… Fed cows with the tractor so i could set more bales down. Stupid piece on the back broke and fell off somewhere, just as it has done before…Continue reading “Grrrrr….”

Gabe pinned one and out pointed one and was pointed on one and pinned on one. Make sense? 🙂 We were sure proud of themContinue reading “Grandkids”

Looks like it ain’t going to last too long so I will have to feed more toContinue reading “Beautiful day…”
Chinook
Blowing across the prairie. Temps above freezing but hang on to your kite! Fed the cows and then Hope and kid’s drove with me up west in the pickup and picked up the mineral barrels. I dropped the clan off, then dropped the barrels off to the cows, came in and ate and read andContinue reading “Chinook”
Crud!
I am getting another cold! Man, I tell you, if you ain’t got little school kids around you bringing all these home, count your blessing! Well, yeah, it’s great to have them around, but Gus seems to bring every new cold home from school. All during Christmas vacation, nothing and bam… just as soon asContinue reading “Crud!”
55
That is what today represents for me…. 55, double nickles…because by the standard calender, that is what I turn today… 55. Who would have guessed? 🙂 Part of me is shocked to realize I have walked this earth for the past 54 years…I was sure I’d be dead now and Lord knows there have beenContinue reading “55”
