They held off until after dinner. Went well other than a young lady got bucked off and they called the ambulance to take her in for doctors care.She didn’t break any bones, just bruised her up. 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”
Tradin’
This morning Pilgrim came into the corral while I was out there so I caught him and went and moved all but one pair, back across the road to the north, in preparation of yearlings coming in on Monday. It was real nice, but the wind blew and built all day. It didn’t take asContinue reading “Tradin’”
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”
A good day
I took Christel to meet a real Indian today, Dave Bald Eagle. He is a Chief of the Lakota nation and doesn’t live too far from me. I had never been to his house before, but it was pretty easy to find. He is a wise old owl and a neat guy. He told meContinue reading “A good day”

I am waiting for metal bit hangers from Larry, in Arizona. The silver concho and buckle was made by Shawn Didyoung up in Montana. He does excellent work!
Another nice day
Got up in the 50’s and we had a little wind, but real nice. Went and rebuilt one of the creek crossings then moved the cows across the road into the 80 this afternoon. I’d rode Mijo around the fence in the morning and checked fences and shut gates. Not too bad of fence forContinue reading “Another nice day”
Alleluia!
Alleluia! He has risen! Happy and blessed Easter tidings to all!
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”
Jill
Got word last night that a friend of mine passed away. We had met thru’ my ad for saddle making in the Cowboy magazine. She had a horse who was giving her a hard time and she wondered if the saddle might be the problem. After some phone calls and long conversations, the upshot ofContinue reading “Jill”
