For Christmas Hope wanted to be moved into her OWN house. Looks like it will happen. Couple good friends came over and Tate drove out from Custer to help and they got it all insulated and skirted, water turned on and bam, they are ready!

Brrr
Wasn’t even up to 20 at 10 am…supposed to stay in the teens or below for the next duration, be a cold Christmas day…took the team and hauled a heavy bale up west. Cows are staying up there and picking pretty good… I woke up about 12:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep until 4:30….Continue reading “Brrr”
Evidently they were wrong….
The Mayans… but then what do you expect from a bunch of people who thought eating each other for food was a good thing? 😉 Sunny, no breeze, just a real nice winter solstice or what ever it is. Least amount of day light anyway and the daylight hours start getting longer now! Hooked theContinue reading “Evidently they were wrong….”
Chillier…
Hadn’t got up to 20 yet when I looked and a stiff breeze out of the northwest today. I hooked up the team, took some bean up west and then drove around looking at grass and the tanks. One tank was completely frozen over, the other had an open spot on the up wind side.Continue reading “Chillier…”

Sounds like it’s some nasty stuff and the DoctorContinue reading “‘Nuther nice one”
Beautiful weather

Cold
No, not the weather (yet!) I have one. Went with Hope to the kid’s doctor and must have picked it up there…. Went over to Clint’s and we worked their fall calves today. Nothin’ like the smell of burnin’ hair! When I got home I was ready to collapse… after I did the chores. TookContinue reading “Cold”
