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 […]

Play at Work
By
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 […]

We’re having a deja vu moment. We’ve been here before. But, alas, Hollywood did not call when I pitched my “Biggest Looser.. Cowgirl Edition” to them. Oh well, we’ll just do what most grown up Cowgirl’s do …. buy a bigger saddle. (metaphor for jeans). On last Sunday I decided I wanted to compete in […]

Do you see that farthest little white dot out there? The first white dot is my little white dog. The second white dot is my mostly white horse, Paint, running away from me. This past Monday I decided that I want to go to a big Ranch Sorting Competition in Oklahoma City this coming Saturday. […]

Things happen to me. I fancy myself a pretty good hand with a horse. I feel comfortable multi-tasking while riding. I’ve led pack-strings in the mountains of Wyoming. I’ve had cowboys let me hold calves with a rope while they doctor. You know …. western cowboy stuff. I’m used to riding a horse and letting […]

The past few weeks I have been perfecting my technique of “Shoulder Shots”. That is taking snapshots over my shoulder behind me while I’m riding or walking or 4-wheeling. What is the purpose of this? ( I know you are wondering) 1. First and foremost, for my own entertainment. 2. I’m very curious to see […]

I am a “Snapshooter”. Really. It’s in the dictionary even though WordPress doesn’t recognize it. It’s right above “Snapshot”. A person who takes snapshots.“Snapshot” is a word made up in the year 1890. A casual photograph made typically by an amateur (me) with a small handheld camera (fits in my pocket). I spent a few […]
