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 […]

The part of America where we live is called “The Heartland” Rightfully so.  Days like this tell me why it’s The Heartland because I feel it in my heart.    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 […]

My new horse shoer came out on Saturday. A younger guy. Jake. He drove 50 miles to get here.  I wanted everything to be perfect so if we get along he will come back. It is nearly impossible lately to a.) find a shoer and b.) get one to drive out here. My old “old” shoer quit me last month. He […]

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 […]

It’s like Pavlov’s Dogs in the winter around here. My horses see me.  They come running. I know they like me, but they LOVE what I represent. Groceries. Now this all takes place in silence because obviously horses can’t talk. So I am going to interpret their body language for you. At least this what […]

On the west end of the ranch, T.H.(Trophy Husband) has a high fence area with a small elk herd. It’s a couple hundred acres of very rugged terrain with lots of grass and trees and hills and two creeks. The fence is about 8 ft. high. It is for trophy hunting of “exotic” type game animals.      He […]

?Every morning, especially during the holidays, I gather up my “posse” and we walk. This day I think there were nine of us. I loose track of some members on occasion. I have a rather large posse. Let me introduce them. Puncher & Misti ? Puncher and Misti always in the lead. Old hands at the […]

T.H. (Trophy Husband) went to Colorado on business for two days so I guess that left me in charge. That means I’m the boss of me. So being the boss of me, I decided to give myself a day off. Not really. The only thing he asked me to do while he was gone was to […]
