Photo Friday: My Crazy College Life
So... My brain is fried. This week has been exhausting. And Fun. And I'm sore from building back into my running routine. Back up to 4 miles, in 28 minutes. So here's a snapshot of my week... On second look the gas price is for "racing fuel." Don't have a clue why it was being … Continue reading Photo Friday: My Crazy College Life

March 8th in National Agriculture Day, which also begins the 3rd year of my blogging efforts for Agriculture Proud. To celebrate I have some things in the works, but I need your help.

Thankful Thursday
This week I am Thankful for an awesome work place, co-workers that take time to teach me new skills, good laundry detergent, and those little reminders that make us take time to reflect. Oh and the coffee that got me going as I hit the road before 4:30 this morning to go work cows and … Continue reading Thankful Thursday
Photo Friday: Weaning Calves on the Ranch
Another one of my favorite seasons in ranch life: Weaning Time!

Mornings this week have been dropping down into the mid-40s and low-50s; perfect weather … Continue reading Photo Friday: Weaning Calves on the Ranch

To my Followers (both farm and non-farm, foreign and neighbors): Thank you for opening my eyes to what I have, those things I am blessed with, and how things are outside of my "bubble" I call ranch life. It's pretty easy to lose sight of everything we are blessed with when we see the same … Continue reading Letter of Appreciation

Almost two inches by the time I headed to the house! Of course I started the day by waking to … Continue reading Photo Friday: Cloud Watch
Photo Friday: Where is the Water?
Remember this scene from early May as I described the two feet of rainfall received in the month of April? What happened to all of that water? We will miss out on our second of three cuttings of hay this year, ponds are getting shallow, and grass in the pastures is at a standstill. AND … Continue reading Photo Friday: Where is the Water?
Long Hot Summer Day
Besides being song lyrics from one of my favorite bands (Turnpike Troubadours), this pretty much sums up my Thursday. Getting started a 6 o'clock, really doesn't make much of a difference if it never cools below 80 degrees. Even at sunrise it doesn't take long to break a good sweat. Grulla and I headed out … Continue reading Long Hot Summer Day
