Down at Rapid. I got crazy awhile back and mentioned to a lady on a chat board that I wanted to try a Bearded Collie some time. She has some and crosses them with Border Collies. They have a little more grit and grip to them. Just what the doctor ordered. But now the otherContinue reading “Stockshow time.”

Thirty one years ago today, at 10 am, I was standing at the front of the church in Sturgis, watching as my future wife was being escorted up the aisle by her father. And probably most of the people setting there watching this spectacle thought it wouldn’t last! We had to get married in January. Continue reading “Has it really been that long?”

At least normal for this country in January. Cold and some lite breezes. Wind finally died down last night. Going to be highs in the teens and twenties it looks like until Saturday and Sunday. They are calling for 36 on Sunday. It will feel like a heat wave. Read somewhere on here this morningContinue reading “Back to normal”

A member of a church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the preacher decided to visit him. It was a chilly evening. The preacher found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his preacher’s visit, the man welcomed him, led himContinue reading “I thought I ought to share this one..”

Left here yesterday about 12:30. Had the generator going and Chance watching things. I’d fed good and then later in the day he fed for today, real good. Did the show and got out of there about 9:30 and headed for Sturgis. I picked up Cindy as the forecast for today didn’t sound good. AsContinue reading “Made it…”

Doesn’t look like we will get as much as they had predicted originally, but still, even a little can blow around. I am suposed toContinue reading “Here we go again…..”

On this date in 1981, Fr Tyler was born. Happy Birthday son.

Found it at Jeffro’s blog, The Poor Farm, on my blog roll there on the left hand side. As always, click on it to make it larger. He’s also got a cool video about a snow machine. I want one!

Cindy got home about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. She said that with what they are predicting for weather, she wanted me to take her back to town and leave her as soon as she could pack a bag. So we loaded up and headed in. Chance was here so he rode along. She packed for anContinue reading “Another one….”

Laramie came today and brought a friend. They got the team shod. I fed with the tractor this morning as it was getting so icy I was afraid the team might slip and hurt themselves. I tried to dig more bales out of the frozen snow that entraps so many, but the loader would barelyContinue reading “Ready for the ice”
