Got a dusting of snow last night and it’s only supposed to get to 16 today. I drove Cindy in yesterday morning. She always enjoys that. She gets so tired of the 60 mile drive, one way, every day she works. And then again home. We have friends visiting the Hills for the Stock ShowContinue reading “Brrr”

It’s making up for all the hard winds and we are just getting gentle breezes. I can live with that. If I was relying on a windmill, maybe not so much, but I’m not. Got up around 2o or so and supposed to get up to 30 before the week is out. Drove up theContinue reading “‘Nother nice one”

Down at Rapid. I got crazy awhile back and mentioned to a lady on a chat board that I wanted to try a Bearded Collie some time. She has some and crosses them with Border Collies. They have a little more grit and grip to them. Just what the doctor ordered. But now the otherContinue reading “Stockshow time.”

The preacher found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his preacher’s visit, the man welcomed him, led himContinue reading “I thought I ought to share this one..”

Left here yesterday about 12:30. Had the generator going and Chance watching things. I’d fed good and then later in the day he fed for today, real good. Did the show and got out of there about 9:30 and headed for Sturgis. I picked up Cindy as the forecast for today didn’t sound good. AsContinue reading “Made it…”

Wind is supposed to pick up towards morning and just keep building until sometime Sunday evening. That’s not so bad, but we are also supposed to get snow with it. Doesn’t look like we will get as much as they had predicted originally, but still, even a little can blow around. I am suposed toContinue reading “Here we go again…..”
