She had been staying at my brothers and had the use of a car for the first part of her visit, so she has beenContinue reading “Family”

New Poem
Had this running thru’ my head and am not sure it gets out mt meaning, but I think it’s close enough to put on here for evaluation. out there there’s always been a class of folks since mankind came along who didn’t quite fit in with the rest couldn’t quite sing that song they wereContinue reading “New Poem”
Visitors
An internet friend from Nevada, who has been working over in this neck of the woods, stopped in yesterday morning. I put him to work. Made him ride a good horse and help me move some cows, bring in a bummed calf and rope and doctor a yearling heifer. We had fun. Fed him aContinue reading “Visitors”
Odds and ends
Hooked up the mower today and knocked down some weeds around the corrals and out in the hog pasture. Tried to cut some american licorice plants, but the ground was too uneven. Gonna have to rig a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower the cutting bar I guess. Then I worked on some corrals andContinue reading “Odds and ends”

Then they had to split. I have been spending this morning trying to catch upContinue reading “Artist Ride”
Dirt work
Took the tractor and loader and went up and drug a washed out ol’ culvert up out of the creek and moved it to the plum crossing and put it there. Probably still wash out,m but it’s in pretty shallow and I made the crossing a lot better. For now! Then I ate an earlyContinue reading “Dirt work”
Last ride
For awhile anyway. Boys head home tomorrow so this evening we went out and they rode around and around in the corral. They swapped horses, Gabe rode Squirt and Lige rode Beaver. Both got along fine and Gabe even managed a sidepass, with a little help from Grampa. We took the tractor up north andContinue reading “Last ride”
Cowpokes
NOW know why they call them that! At least when Lige is riding Squirt cuz’ he’s always poking along! We went out and moved the pairs into another pasture and shut some gates. Pretty good cowpokes if you can get them to understand where you want to go!
