Recognize the saddle blanket Lisa? I washed it in hot water and then drip dried it and then put it in the dryer. It’s smaller with a tighter weave now. 😉

Rain
Over two inches in the flat bottomed pan setting on the step. Over 4 in the rain gauge. Lying rain gauge! Water up to my lower knees in the basement when I plugged in the sump pump a few minutes ago. Branding called off for today. I wonder why? 😉
Neighboring
Got a call about 5:30 yesterday morning. A neighbor needed some help to move cattle. So I took Peaches over and we moved his 2 year old heifer pairs north with a strong wind blowing behind us. Heifers who had never been to this pasture, on a public road, with fresh green succulent grass growingContinue reading “Neighboring”
Family, part 2
Got done branding at Dean’s and made a hurried rush of getting Fred fed and changing clothes and turning my horse loose. Branding went well and it sure was a nice day. I rushed into town and visited with my sister in Switzerland on Skype and visited with others who were at the house. HadContinue reading “Family, part 2”
Another branding
Cold and windy, but we got them done. Big crew. With 5 ropers there was always someone waiting to take a calf off the rope when you came out. Good dinner afterwards off course. Brad rode my Some More Lena filly and drug a few calves on here. He sure looks to have done aContinue reading “Another branding”

She’s tuff, she will heal quick! After her and her husband left, they oldest son was roping and draggingContinue reading “Another branding”
Spring
Got better than an inch of rain last night. The lying rain gauge said 2 inches, but there was a flat sided cake pan setting on the steps and it measures an inch with a ruler. Guess I need to throw the gauge away. It came from a so-so bank I don’t use, so youContinue reading “Spring”
Branding
Went down in the breaks and branded at Pete’s yesterday. Nice day and it went well. Got several coming up next week and the following week. Windy today but up in the 60’s. I cleaned on the corrals this morning until about 1 pm. Got a gig this evening. Might have to try out theContinue reading “Branding”
Another one out of the ball park!
http://mausersandmuffins.blogspot.com/2011/04/big-damn-heroes.html She covers this subject better than anything I have probably ever read. Damn. Wish I could write like that! We branded at a neighbors today. Winds gusting to 70mph and some snow . Exhilarating! We were out in it to gather and work the cows but had a shed to brand the calves. ThankContinue reading “Another one out of the ball park!”
Ahhh, springtime
Meadowlarks and robins serenading me along with the baritone and bass notes of the frogs and Canadian geese on the nearby pond, chiming in. A nodding, bobbing headed, two rein colt cautiously clicks the chirping cricket in the silver mounted spade bit he’s learning to carry. He feels and listens for the clues as toContinue reading “Ahhh, springtime”
