“Maybe our Girlfriends are our Soul-Mates and guys are just people to have fun with”. I stole that from Dabney Porte and Social Media Girlfriends on Facebook today. And it got me to thinking…… Who really knows my heart? It’s no secret that TH and I haven’t been getting along lately. (That’s a subject […]

11-1-11 What an excellent number. Balanced.  Symmetrical.  Primal.   What an excellent number for a day.   Today, I’ve been blogging for one year.   One blog post has turned into nearly 100.   One friend has grown into scores and scores. Today,  11-1-11. I am grateful.   One is (not) the loneliest number.You fill […]

My blogging buddy Suzanne at  Fairchild Farmgirl asked me to write a guest post for her weekly series: CRAZY MONDAYS, MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS IN AGRICULTURE (Click above and you will fly there) There are so many to choose from after 20 years in the saddle, but one stands out in my memory. Etched in shame, […]

My  horse shoer broke up with me yesterday.  I’m really busted up about it.  In fact, I’m devastated. If I still drank, I’d be drunk right now.  This is the most upsetting break up I’ve ever experienced.And I’ve been married three times. (My perspective may be off slightly due to all that drinking) It’s not like I’m […]

T.H. and I have been getting along pretty well lately. Not one skirmish in the sorting pens. Because lately there haven’t been any cattle to sort.  Today he wants to gather 80 cows and calves, sort, doctor and move them to the west pasture.  He drives out in the pickup to see where they are. […]

It’s been mighty quiet on the Cowgirl Red Blog this week.   Did someone ask, “What in tar-nation have you been doing?” What exactly is a “tar-nation”?   It’s a word made up by Yosemite Sam from the year 1966. Well, my dear….Merriam-Webster would disagree.  To be precise, it is a euphemism for “damnation” from the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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?” […]

My little antique cobblers bench with my favorite things in my studio I joined the Creative  Creative Every Day Challenge 2011 hosted by Leah Piken Kolidas.  Where I will post regularly my Fiber and Textile Art.  I joined it for the last few weeks of 2010 and now can’t live without it.  What a dynamic community […]
