My husband’s horse was born on May 5th. That’s how he received the name Cinco. A horse with a sweeter disposition could not be found. As soon as he saw you, he was lumbering your way to nudge and beg for attention. My husband sometimes got aggravated with him when trying to work. “He’s always right in my hip… Read more

Spring Break has begun for me today. I have 9 days off and 900 things on my ever-growing to-do list to accomplish. Number one being pack, move, and unpack. My husband is super busy, and I can’t wait for him, so tonight I packed most of my kitchen, my china, my plates, my Tupperware, and… Read more

Spring is coming. It’s just around the corner. As soon as I utter that old cliche’, tomorrow we’ll all probably get snowed thirty feet under. But I am remaining hopeful about the coming spring. The tulips and daffodils are poking their green heads out of the earth and birds are building nests. Unfortunately the owner of this particular dwelling… Read more

This morning I stumbled out of bed and stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, yawned and stretched and tried to come alive. Not really. It’s Saturday. I slept later than usual, I awoke refreshed and feeling great, and meandered to the bathroom. Then I peeked out the window to see if… Read more

My cowboy husband J-Dub needed to move some cows on Saturday. They had grazed down a pasture pretty well and needed some greener grass. You know, over on the other side. It is typically a rather large job for one cowboy alone to move 90 cows from one pasture to another, so he moved most… Read more

A proverb from me: A sunny day makes the heart happy. The temperatures climbed today and gave everyone around here a bad case of spring fever. And then to make matters worse, a Gurney’s Seed Catalog arrived in my mailbox. Oh the joys of gardening! I would love to reap the rich rewards of a well… Read more

A couple days ago, my husband shoveled us out of the snow. It was just in the nick of time too. I believe with my all of my being that he was on the verge of having a full on attack of deliriousness as a side effect of the cabin fever he’d developed after being cooped in the house. It’s like we were living in The Shining. We… Read more

Two phrases I never want uttered in my home again are: We’re out of eggs. That’s the last of the milk. I am remedying the egg situation soon, very soon. And I am strongly considering a goat for the milk cure. Now before you curl up your nose at the mention of goat milk, I… Read more

I have a new BFF today. He’s my good pal. My buddy. My friend. He’s a little furry. And maybe a little smelly. But I don’t mind at all. Especially today, when he doesn’t see his shadow. I’m ready for an early spring. Here’s some pictures of our world. Yesterday it was 5° at 5:30… Read more

The weather today is no joke. I went with J-dub to go feed a little. We came upon a herd of yearlings huddled around a water tank attempting to drink from the frozen tank. J-dub grabbed an ax and began chopping ice. I got out to snap a couple of pics and before I knew… Read more
