tomorrow, January 21, 1981, was a pretty nice day as I recall… sun shining, ice melting, typical January thaw weather…I’d fed cows and was on the phone with Delbert, a neighbor, and we were talking of doing something that afternoon. In the background I kept hearing Cindy saying things like, “I don’t think you betterContinue reading “33 years ago”

My friend Mike Tarrant was kind enough to post these to Youtube so I could share them… This one is one that Paul Woods sent me some time ago… I finally got it close enough to pass it on to him to see if he was happy… he is.. This one, the words were byContinue reading “What I been up to lately”

Older, that is…. seems like they are coming lots faster than they used to…. got another load of hay in this morning and gave one to the cows… they seemed to like it but it was hard to scatter it very far! Millet straw… Addy Bear spent the day with us and then the boysContinue reading “Another year”

Bart was here before 8 this morning and we got the steer butchered… dressed out over 500 pound hanging weight… 560 maybe…we get half and Tate and Kass get half… cooler with a south east breeze so it was chilly out there… I had sorted off the calves and went and let their bawling othersContinue reading “Fresh meat”

Has past for a few days anyway, up in the 20’s today.. supposed to be a bit cooler tomorrow and then up in the 30’s for a day or two… didn’t check much past that. … suckered the cows into the corral with the team and a bale only it didn’t work so saddled PilgrimContinue reading “Cold…”

Cold and supposed to get colder, and windy… below zero… high of minus 6 tomorrow and drop down around 15 below or so and the wind is going to howl I guess.. I fed early this morning and then went over to Glen and Janet’s and helped them shear sheep until about 3 then cameContinue reading “It must be winter”

In with the new… I hope you all have a wonderful new year, this coming year… 2014… my father would have been 100 hundred years old if he were still alive, and also my mother.. hard to believe she has been gone for 10 years and he for 20…. 100 years ago in June, myContinue reading “Out with the old..”

Not real bad for this time of the year, but still… Got the team and a saddle horse shod up with some shoes that won’t slip on ice… Laramie came and did it.. Cindy took off and took Spike to the vet as he has been having a few problems… sounds like they got itContinue reading “Cool and chilly”

We had a wonderful day yesterday… all the children and grandchildren,Dusty and Tristin and Fr Jim came over after Mass and he’s hardcore, he hug with us until late into the evening! Lot’s of music and laughter! Fr Tyler is still here this morning… I have a new dog, a female that chance and hopeContinue reading “Happy 2nd day of Christmas!”

Just as every morning when we awake, the Lord has blessed us… this time, with a power outage… Most probably would not see this as a blessing, no electricity.. how are we going to see, heat our homes, do the endless chores that must be done? For me it gave me pause… there was noContinue reading “A Blessing..”
