Several people have asked me what happened the ‘sore-eyed’ steer.  How sweet. Thanks for asking. I would love to tell you. After we gathered the bunch and sorted off the 4 big steers and the ‘sore-eye’. The 4 big ones got loaded in the front and you saw the part where he tried to mother-up […]

  OK. So Paint and I get finished gathering some steers for T.H. He sorts off some big ones to take to another pasture closer to home in order to get them ready to sell next week.  One has a sore eye that needs to come home to be doctored. Small problem.  They didn’t all […]

Spring came early in Kansas. Blessed Spring. And green grass.  Puncher has more work/play to do everyday.  We have been really busy sorting and moving cattle around.   I am perfecting my “Hip Shots”  technique while loading the stock trailer with her.I just hold my pocket camera at waist level, while it is set on […]

I thought I would take you all with me on an afternoon of work/play for Paint, Puncher and me. I say work/play because it is ranch work. T.H. considers it work. I know it’s work. But for me, it’s what I live for. We unload at the pens and ride out to the cattle on a wheat […]

So ya’ll know how devastated I was at the breakup of my last relationship.  I have tried a couple rebound relationships since  “him”.  They just didn’t work out for various reasons. Mostly because they were too close to my own age. (Too old, too slow,too arthritic, too grumpy, too fat) I’ve decided that being a […]

  I’ve been traveling with Paint a little bit this winter. We haven’t really had a “winter” to speak of. That’s why I get to travel so much. No snow, no ice, no cold weather. Let’s hear it for global warming! Puncher, Paint and I have been slipping down to Oklahoma to some Ranch Sortings […]

   I posted about this quilt a few months ago.  At the time I thought it was the ugliest quilt ever made. As it turns out, it is the most favorite one I’ve ever made. I went on an Artist’s Retreat to Santa Fe in November, having just finished the top. I showed the blog […]

   I have met so many wonderful, creative people through blogging.  One of them is Crystal Harris Donnelly.  She is an artist who expresses herself through the love of dogs and horses. Today I give you this guest post by my friend, Crystal. I commissioned her to paint a portrait of my faithful companion, Tip. […]

   “Maybe our Girlfriends are our Soul-Mates and guys are just people to have fun with”. I stole that from Dabney Porte and Social Media Girlfriends on Facebook today. And it got me to thinking…… Who really knows my heart? It’s no secret that TH and I haven’t been getting along lately. (That’s a subject […]

  I picked up this fabric somewhere.  I have so much in my stash now that I forget. I’m pretty sure that I bought it at a little boutique fabric store in Salt Lake City.  A few fat quarters and some remnants. At first I thought I would cut up some random pieces and mix […]
