Churn After spending the most of my years being comfortably ignorant of what goes into the food I eat. I am amazed how and what goes into making food. Just when I thought life held no more surprises - in comes BUTTER. Real butter not the store-bought slab of fat and chemicals. When I first … Continue reading Butter Churn… Twenty-first century style!

Cows GROSS content alert!!
Guess what I did this afternoon? I got a chance to witness the birth of the first of what we hope will be a long line of cows on Peter and John's ranch. First when Harvey (my brother and ranch manager) said that we had a heifer (first time mothers) that looked like her water … Continue reading Cows GROSS content alert!!
A girl has to have her priorities!
My cousin, Virginia, lives in South Dakota. And I am hoping to head up her way, soon. Uncle Donnie is celebrating his 90th bday. I texted her to explain that my brother Harvey would in all likelihood not be able to come due to the cows coming into calving season. Not sure that is the … Continue reading A girl has to have her priorities!
Horses…
I just said something that would have had a whole different meaning just 3 years ago. I asked Harvey if the horses were out again. Now before 2015 that sentence ment - Check your zipper!

Remember when the back yard dirt pile and a vivid imagination was all it took to build an entire city? The little tractor a good push and boom, the road was instantly made. Living on the ranch/farm means taking care of the land. Hard work but it keeps us off the streets! There is a … Continue reading Real life Tonka Toys
Newer Toys! Update at the bottom
I don't know how many of you remember when hay came in bales that weighed about 50 lbs. I remember them being heavy. Now they weigh in the tons category. Anybody want to come out and heft those for a day or two? Well, I know I don't! I am not even sure I could … Continue reading Newer Toys! Update at the bottom
Walking the carpet…
As you see Bessie the milk cow seems calm, cool and collected. You would never guess the diabolical and nefarious plan is making it way through her brain. She looks a little too innocent. Too docile and just a little bit scary. Let me set the scene here. Sunday morning, not so bright, not so … Continue reading Walking the carpet…

Maybe because most everybody there was as drunk as we were!! Belly up to the bar boys.... well actually Belly up to the … Continue reading Dimples, country style
