I am passionate about my cowdogs. I’m a zealot and a fanatic. I think about them and talk about them all the time. Just ask T.H. and my friends. I spend hours every day and week working with my dogs. This has been a dream of my cowgirl life. I’m living it. This blog is about living my passions daily in mid-life. In that spirit, here is the […]

Last Week I started playing with some fabric again with the hope that it would “oil the creative machine”. And it did. I had two pieces of the patched together batiks. I would make two 20″ throw pillows. I decided to try some free hand quilting with the embroidery foot of my Bernina. I guess it’s free […]

Yesterday morning, T.H. made a casual comment to me that “We have 3 too many dogs now”. I wonder which dogs he considers superfluous? Obviously he hasn’t read my blog post about too many or not enough dogs in which I fully explained my logic. My magical thinking that turns 5 dogs into 1. Nevermind. I’m pondering on which ones he […]

I have missed sewing this spring. I have really missed sharing with my CED 2011 artist friends. This spring was all cattle, horses, dogs and ranch stuff. The weather staid cool. So I was outside most days and exhausted most nights. Now the cattle are settled and the afternoons are hot and muggy. Mornings are for outside work (and […]

T.H. called shortly after leaving the house this morning. “There’s a steer out on the highway. He’s just south of the cattle guard. Why don’t you get Puncher and your 4-wheeler and see if you can get him in.” Woo Hooo! Me and Puncher, a real mission!!! By ourselves!! Here comes his always very explicit instructions. “Get around him to the south and […]

I took my two horses to a Kansas Stock Horse Show last weekend. Ol’ Paint, the consummate professional…. No problem. My sweet Pardner, new kid on the block…. Big problem. What happened? I don’t know. I’ll never know. He isn’t saying. Devil possession? Aliens? I’m clueless. He was great at the Quarter Horse Show two weeks ago. No […]

I was gone for a week visiting my baby girl in Salt Lake City. Mostly we were eating sushi, getting shellac manicures, shopping. When I came home T.H. had cattle stuffed in every nook and cranny of this ranch. T.H. must have been on a big buying spree much like the one I was on in Salt Lake City with my girl. […]

Does this saddle make me look fat? Paint ol’ buddy, we need to talk. I’m a little concerned about your weight. Your belly is hanging over your back cinch. I know you’re sensitive and all. It’s been a long winter. I understand where you’re coming from. I do. We are both at the same stage in […]

Last fall I discovered my talent as a “Snapshot-ographer”. I even blogged about it RIGHT HERE. Now I am taking my craft to a whole new level. I call them “Hip-Shots”. Basically I lack ample coordination to focus and shoot whilst simultaneously paying attention to my my duties of assisting TH with the cattle. I could get wacked by a steer. So I hold my […]
