Rill

I ran Cindy’s car down to Punkin Center and got the oil changed and knocked the mud off the insides of the tires so it would drive right. Ate some lunch and came home. The little Halfie got another work out today. After I got done feeding cows this afternoon, I caught up Patches, theContinue reading “Rill”

Safety

Still nice weather. 50’s today with some wind. Drying the mud out. I took the extra harness back to the neighbor. The hames were too big for my collars. Then I ran over to Punkin Center and got some lick barrels for these older cows. See if that will help put some flesh on them.Continue reading “Safety”

Ash Wednesday

So begins our count down to Easter Sunday. Mt 6:1-6, 16-18 Gospel Jesus said to his disciples: “Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocritesContinue reading “Ash Wednesday”

Snowy

These are shots looking northeast, west of the house. Got a strong 2 inches but no wind. Yet! Went over and helped the neighbor shear. Bob loves working sheep. They bounce and jump and run from him! Wheeee! He did pretty good for a dumb ol’ cowdog! Here’s a picture of hm and Delbert’s youngContinue reading “Snowy”
