It was pretty nice yesterday. Pretty stiff breeze out of the southeast, but when I went out to ride yesterday about 3:30 it was dying down. When I left I was wearing a goose down vest and a light jacket with a big silk wildrag on. Part way, I had to shed the coat andContinue reading “4/16/09”

Yup, it’s here. We might still get another blizzard, but we have green grass. Real short green grass, but it’s here and everything loves it. Even the geese! See ’em? Here’s a few more. The creek banks made me think of icebergs “calving”.

Our Jack Russel, Tack, got hit  and killed on the road today. Pretty hard deal to have happen. He was hard headed and wouldn’t listen and you had to constantly watch him for traffic when he was outside. We thought this would be the way he would die, but it’s still sad. We had 3Continue reading “Sad day”

I hope you all have a wonderful day! I went out yesterday evening and saddle Pilgrim, my 4 year old colt. Warmed him up a bit, got on, and away we went. He never made a bobble. Chance had rode him a little the day before to make sure he wasn’t too broncy for theContinue reading “Happy Easter!”

Yesterday and it’s howlin’ today from the south. But if it gets up to 50 as they say it might, it will sure cut a bunch of snow. I see we have some rain forecast for the next few days. That too will help melt the snow. Woohoo!

Appreciate the the nice days, without the storm? Yesterday was a nice day. Warm. Soft breeze. Snow melting. Ahhhh……. Supposed to be snowy and windy today, so Chance came up yesterday afternoon and we sorted of 5 cows to keep in. We wormed all the older horses. Some of those old mares got pretty excitedContinue reading “How do we….”

“nothin’, but blue skies, do I see” That song comes to mind! Supposed to get up in the 40’s this week and top out at 56 on Sunday. That will be a great Easter present if it is true. Not much going on, just feeding and watching cows. Chance came up and brought Gus andContinue reading ““Blue skies……..shining on me…””

Once again the stock is fed and no cows are calving and needful of assistance. Probably 10 to 12 inches more snow. That makes over 3 feet in the last two weeks and all the dams were full and the creeks were running when this cycle started. I am sure there are a lot ofContinue reading “4/5/09”

I got this in an email from a friend. I thought it was worth posting here. It doesn’t get much easier than this to understand. Subject: Socialism Great example of socialism! An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a singlestudent before but had, once, failed an entire class. That class hadinsisted that socialismContinue reading “Pretty much sums it up.”

I went out about 5:30 and it was just starting to get enough light to kind of see. Cows and babies are all humped up on the downwind sides of fences in the corrals. Wind is blowing a little harder now out of the north northeast. Supposed to taper off this evening. Sure glad IContinue reading “And it continues….”
