Warmer, but windy. Got up in the 30’s this noon and afternoon… not too bad of a day. We shipped some calves yesterday. They said that the market was softer, but I really haven’t been paying much attention to it, so couldn’t say. Calves sold alright, looked good, a bit lighter than we had thoughtContinue reading “Wednesday, Jan 23”

Frosty and cool.. 19 at noon.. just a breeze so far but supposed to blow and snow.. mid to later April should be wet as this is about the 6th day we have been over cast and foggy… lots of hoar frost on the trees and wires.. so if/when the wind picks up, we willContinue reading “Monday 1/21/19”

13 degrees at 11 am… about 2 inches of snow.. slight breeze, but supposed to drop lower.. supposed to get down to 5 above before tomorrow morning, then rise into the 20’s… not too bad of weather for January.. I sure have seen it much worse… cows really seem to be enjoying their hay today!

Sixty one years today, riding this big blue ball around the sun, day after day. Today has been wonderful, beautiful hoar frost all over, warm and surrounded by kids and grandkids..

Chances kids didn’t get here until late in the afternoon as they had been with their mother… Tate tried to cook aContinue reading “Chilly”

Not real sure, seems like there is something to do every day, but really can’t seem to remember what I did.. After Mass today, Tate and I hooked up to Chances flatbed and headed to Custer and on thru’ a bit and got a load of logs for Tate to mill on his sawmill… weContinue reading “Hmmm, what have I been doing?”

Ground was frozen this morning, so didn’t have to worry about mud… the roads had dried out a lot over night from the wind that blew all night. Went to a close neighbors and shipped his calves this morning… went well, but was a wee bit nippy out there… I bought a set of insulatedContinue reading “Windy”

Went up north to help a neighbor.. started catching and saddling in the dark at 5:30 this morning and then drove in 4 wheel drive most of the way up there, because evidently our county can’t afford to put decent gravel on the rural roads… gathered the first bunch, then gathered the second bunch, sortedContinue reading “Long day”
