Don’t suppose I will get to write that header again in my life! Just a wee bit brisk this morning! Had a regular blizzard last night. I even let the dogs stay in the house, but it didn’t help my sleeping any. Bob just ain’t figured out how to go lie down and sleep allContinue reading “Saturday 12/11/10”

Real nice weather. Kind of a chinook blowing. Got up over 40 today. I went down to the Baptist Church at Punkin Center a little after 12 and played and sang Christmas Hymns. Read a couple winter poems for them. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. They do this once a month and it’s mainly theContinue reading “12-9-10”

Grampa had a helper today to do chores. Hope brought Sam and Gus out yesterday and stayed over for a spell. So I found some old chaps of one of Gus’s uncles or his dad’s to help keep his legs warm and we went chorin’. He was a real big help!

Pearl Harbor day. Good time to remember we are never completely safe. And take actions to be prepared. Kind of like the Advent song we have been singing, “Prepare Ye the Way”. Such a gorgeous day out there that even Gramma went with me to feed and chore this morning. She claim’s I only marriedContinue reading “December 7, 10”

Another beautiful day, tho’ pretty darn crispy this morning! Got the cattle fed and then went up to the neighbor to the west and loaded and hauled calves to Philip, for tomorrows sale. He took a trailer load also and then he will take a truck load tomorrow. After we dropped off the calves andContinue reading “Monday 12/6/10”

Boy is it a beautiful day out there! Sun is shining, making the snow all sparkly. About 27 above as I write this. Not hardly a breeze. Makes me want to hook to a sleigh with the team and give somebody a ride! Maybe when Cindy gets home, or tomorrow. Fed the calves, old cowsContinue reading “Sunday Dec 5, 10”

Went out this afternoon and saddled up Pilgrim and brought the cows in and sorted off a few who are older and/or thinner. None are in bad shape yet, but it’s easier to keep them in good shape than to try and get them in good shape. Especially them ol’ gummer cows. Also I sortedContinue reading “12/3/10 Afternoon”

Nice day out there. Harnessed and hooked up the team and fed calves. Saddle horses was standing there at the corral so I caught Pilgrim and rode up west and changed some gates so the horses can go north and I can turn the calves east if I want to. Checked the bean for theContinue reading “12-1-10”

Snow is coming in pretty horizontal. Woke up in the night and couldn’t get sleepy for awhile and the snow started here about 1 or 2 am. Hard to say how much we have, maybe 2 or 3 inches. Got some small soft drifts. When I hayed the calves in the small trap yesterday IContinue reading “Monday, Nov 29, 10”

I hooked up to the trailer and hauled on of the heifers I had summered here, who missed the bus for the return trip home. Both guys who I summered cattle for sold those cattle yesterday. The cows sold for over $1200 and I didn’t see the heifers sell. Heard heifers were going for $1100Continue reading “11/28/10”
