Almost everyday I go out to catch up Paint and Pardner bring them in. They are out in the wheat pasture south of the house. Even if I don’t ride I like to tie them up for awhile and mess with them. It teaches them patience and keeps Paint from eating 24 hours a day. He is […]

I call for the cattle. They turn three into the arena. Puncher locks on the cattle. For me that is the rush. I send her “Away”. She stops when she gets to them and looks back at me. Probably waiting for my neurotic evil twin to shout something confusing. I have silenced her. I “woosh” her […]

Today is Friday (I know it says Tuesday up above. Pretend it’s still last Friday) Tomorrow is Saturday, the first Cowdog Trial of the year. I have practiced Puncher so many times the last few weeks that I think I made her neurotic. She would just look at me like “What on earth do you want me to do? Woman make up your […]

TH and I took a drive up north to check on the steers we sent to the feedlot in November. Just some snapshots I took. Crystal blue clear skies are a […]

Discombobulated. I have been using that word alot lately to describe myself. I actually thought it was a made up word. I like the sound of it.It’s like “Bippity Boppity Boo”. Driving to town yesterday with TH feeling discombobulated again, I wondered out loud, “Do you think that is a real word or made up word?” […]

This is a very philosophical topic. Too much or not enough? It is right up there with “Is the glass half-full or half-empty?” I think a person is one or the other. No matter how hard I try I seem to remain a half-empty person while T.H. is a half-full person. You would think this […]

Very early yesterday morning I got all dressed up to meet my friend in town and drive to Wichita for a luncheon and fashion show at a Country Club. Woo Hooo! A girly day. Happy Happy! I drove out of the ranch about 7:30 am. It takes 25 minutes to get to town. I was all dressed up, county […]
