I thought I would share a little “Quiet Time” with you today. We were trailing some cattle home from a pasture 5 miles away. It’s the Kansas way. You take some really gentle momma cows and calves. Put a feed truck in front of them and a horse behind them. And you have a “Walking […]

My buddy …”Playboy”… (real name is Max-Doc-O-Gold) …… I bought last summer from Joel Lesh …. just won the AQHA World Championship Team Penning in Oklahoma City! When I bought him from Joel in […]

Just when I think my little white “terrier-ist” is getting too old, she does something menacing …. Like kill a skunk ……. or corner a badger in the yard. Sometimes I forget to put her up before we go down the pens to work cattle. We all know how much “help” she can be. If […]

Who Knew?

Who knew? Seriously. Who knew that getting hay delivered could be such an aesthetically pleasing and satisfying experience? For an extra $1 per bale a middle-aged cowgirl can get her hay delivered and stacked in the barn. You simply call them up. Order the hay. They send over two age-appropriate cowboys. Dressed in chaps.

Every few years I get the yearning for a donkey. I’ve always wanted one. Most women my age yearn for another baby. I’ve never really cared for babies much. Well …… I really liked the baby I had, but not enough to have another one. I might feel that way about a donkey. I don’t […]

I was on the phone with my daughter and kept being distracted by a ruckus outside. “Ruckus” meaning the familiar sound of 3 dogs having something either treed or cornered. I told her “I’ll call you back. The dogs have something out front. I need to make sure it’s not a cat.” Punishment is swift […]

Oops!

Don’t anybody tell T.H. I wrecked his brand new 4-Wheeler today. He doesn’t read my blog or do Facebook. So if he finds out I’ll know one of you is a Narc. I’ve been borrowing his 4-Wheeler since mine is out of gas and I’m too lazy to go get some gas and fill it up. […]

Unplugged
By
I have been unplugged. For two weeks. Maybe three. I broke my iPhone three weeks ago. It was cold turkey. Detox. Dr. Drew would be proud. I think I carried it too far though. I can’t remember what I’ve been doing since the “accident”. So I went to my pocket camera to see what I’ve […]
