  It’s pretty quiet when I ride out by myself. Technically, I’m not by myself. There are three of us. My horse, my dog and me. But, they don’t say much. We’ve been friends for so long, there isn’t a whole lot more to say. “Come by …….. Hurry” “Easy” “Stop” “Wait” “Away” “Walk up,…. easy” […]

  Ace didn’t make it into the Worlds Greatest Cowdog like Puncher. But he has many talents. There is one though…… at which he excels. And that one is ….. He makes me laugh …… out loud …… at least once …….. every single …. solitary day. Love, Cowgirl Red   aka   Terah Check […]

   This Spring has been so beautiful that I’ve been pleasure riding a lot. Riding for no purpose other than fun. However, T.H. can’t stand for me not to be on a mission, so if he catches me riding out with no assigned task he quickly manufactures one. It’s a game we play. Today it’s “While […]

  If I had a grandchild I would have someone to get excited with me when a turtle is crossing the road and I slam on my brakes and rush out to save it’s life by taking her home and letting her go in my Turtle Kingdom. If our kids weren’t so selfishly living their […]

We have a recurring  situation with a ‘water gap’. A water gap is a stretch of fence that crosses a creek. Twice this spring it has rained buckets which causes the creek to rise quickly and all the floating debris demolishes the ‘water gap’. ‘Debris’ as in logs and trees not ‘debris’ as in garbage. […]

Last year was about scarcity.  This year is about abundance. A new experience for Puncher ….. and Paint. We go out to bring cattle in they have to swim and wade through a sea of grass. Sometimes she’s like a torpedo shooting though the tall grass.   Sometimes Paint has to stop and catch his […]

Last week while I was feeding my fish and looking for my new koi I had a little mishap. I was leaning over the edge of the pond dock when my iPhone 4S and Sony Cybershot fell out of my shirt pocket. Plop, Plop! Just like that. They sank to the bottom. I screamed. My […]

I’m afraid T.H. thinks I’m having a fling with the UPS man.  I have been a little obsessed with him.  His name is Corey.  I have him on speed dial.  I’ve been tracking his every move. He’s delivering my new giant-sized koi. Because of the heat, I can’t take any chances of an afternoon delivery […]

 I ordered some fish on the Internet. Really. eBay to be exact. Not frozen. Real live, swimming-around-in-a-box, fish. Who ever heard of such a thing? Not ordinary fish. Fish with bling. Koi.  I’ve been on a quest for the last 6 summers to get some in our pond. No success. It’s spring and I am […]
