Jon Speyers came this past winter and took a bunch of photos. Got some cool shots. This is one he sent me recently so thought I would share it. I wasn’t aware I could so easily, so I may share some more. These photos all belong to him so please, no one use them withoutContinue reading “Jon”

We had a good one. It’s always good when all the kids and grand kids are here. Noisy, but good. Dustin and his Lady, Sarah and her daughter were here. We had prime rib and ham and all kinds of other stuff, most of which I didn’t eat. And snow, we had snow! Ended upContinue reading “Easter”

Habits are hard to break I guess. I used to write in here a lot, but things changed and now it just dawned on me that I haven’t written for quite awhile! We have had a pretty nice winter and now by the calendar it is spring. We are getting some of that equinox weatherContinue reading “Wow”

It’s been a bit since last I posted on here. I no longer have a column in a local paper and that was what I was posting in the past, with a few changes to better suit this site. It is 4:30 in the morning and the wind is howling! A touch of snow, soContinue reading “Howdy”

Look at me! Look at me! Listen to me! Me. Have we always been so starved for attention that we always said these words in some form or another?

Why, yes, yes it is! Tho’ from what much of the rest of the country has been getting I suppose we shouldn’t complain! But it is in our nature. Reminds me of the story about the one farmer that always complained. It was always too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry.Continue reading “Hot?”

Why yes, yes we are! Amazing what can happen around this country when we get ample rain. And of course, some have gotten more than they wanted or needed and we have had some flooding, which is sad for those effected. I have been worried that it might drown all the nice little Hoppers weContinue reading “Rain, getting any?”

We have a bunch of heifers here for the summer. The owners bring them out and leave them until fall. They have a bunch, and I mean a bunch, of yearling bulls running with them. This late summer, the heifers will all be ultra sounded for pregnancy confirmation and the date. They will be markedContinue reading “Heifers!”

Which are you?  And by that I am talking about the two main characters of the TV mini series, Augustus McRae and Woodrow McCall, taken from the book of the same name, Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurtry. If you have never heard of the show, I would suspect you never watched any television in theContinue reading “Woodrow or Gus”
