My life is like this jacket right now. I feel like a discombobulated cowgirl riding a tornado. Yeehaw! Instead of Pecos Bill, I’m Pecos Jill! My feet hurt and now I know why so I bought this bracelet cuff online. My new motto. We started calving on the exact same […]

“Excuse my messy house.” — Said no straight man ever. The main entrance to my house is the garage. We have a front door, but everyone comes in through the garage and mud room. The dump rooms. Dog hair and mud and sometimes a baby calf hanging out. Another New Year’s intention of mine. I […]

Thursday Morning. We got a better start at daylight. I only had one cup of coffee in bed. Then saddled up and long trotted about 2 miles through our place and across our neighbors pasture that we lease. I met up with our cowboys for the day (Day Riders). They are also our good friends. […]

This morning I was supposed to ride the north end of this pasture where we turned the cattle into yesterday. Remember yesterday? We started at the very end of the horizon of these big ugly power lines. This is a pasture that we lease. Maybe we would feel different if we got the money […]

Puncher had puppies in May. Don’t worry, it was planned…. Sort of. My friend was visiting with her good and famous cow dog, Gus. Puncher came into heat and I was like ….. “Why not?” Those two words might just be the most motivating factor of my long and interesting life. “Why not?” […]

It’s been cold this week. Not Wyoming cold, but Kansas cold. And it snowed. Not Wyoming snow, but Kansas snow. I stayed home one whole day just because I could. Then cabin fever set in and I ventured out to town. The little town (Sun City, pop 40), not the big town (Medicine Lodge, pop […]

Snapshooter

I’m a Snapshooter. I looked it up. “Snapshooter: a person who takes snapshots.” That would be me. I think Snapshot-ographer is more like it. I do not take photographs. I take snapshots. Snapshot: a casual photograph made typically by an amateur with a small hand-held camera. Or in my case…. an iPhone holstered to my hip […]

My friend, the matriarch of this beautiful ranch, sent me a card this morning that read…. “Welcome to Autumn……. the finest time of the year!” Earlier in the week she asked me if I’d seen the “Pitcher Sage”. It’s a delicate, periwinkle blue wildflower that grows in Kansas in the late summer and […]
