Yesterday I posted about my new, old home and my bucket list.  Today, because I am inspired by #4 on my list, which read “own chickens, goats, cows, ducks, and barncats” I thought I’d introduce you to a few new friends I’ve met. This life in the country is going to take some getting use to.  Pictures were… Read more

After being married to a cowboy several seasons of my life, there is one critical rule I have learned.  ***ALWAYS CLOSE THE GATES****It may be the most important lesson ever needed to be learned by green cowhands. (meaning me) The ranch is divided into pastures by fences and gates.  The fences are very important and serve… Read more
