‘Fun’ is a Relative Term
Saturday afternoon… The day has completely gotten away from me. I wound up cleaning the house from top to bottom, and that really does take quite a bit of time. I started early this morning and just got done…. just in time to wonder what I will feed my family for dinner, and plan a [...]
Heart of a Lion
Yesterday afternoon I got a frantic call from my husband, asking what to do for a newborn kitten. I just love how the man with the degrees in Animal Science and the most incredible animal husbandry skills I have ever witnessed, calls little ol’ ME about how to care for a newborn kitten. After deciphering [...]
Manure-Inspired Thoughts
Oh Thursday… it is gloomy out, extra humid, and I am dragging. I will make it through the day (I think I can, I think I can) surely, but would give my left arm to have a free afternoon (and I’m left handed- that’s desperate!)… But since I can’t have my wish, I remain dutifully [...]
Ian the Pig Thinks He’s a Person
Spring is here. The white blossoms are from the pear tree, the deep pink from the peach. “Wow” is about all I can muster when looking at them against the blue Texas sky. The photo does not do them justice. This is Ian the Pig. Except don’t tell him that, he thinks he is a [...]
A Post To Catch Up…
B-U-S-Y… And that has not been sitting well with me over the past week because in addition to being insanely busy, I am also battling an awful (and I mean A-W-F-U-L) head cold. You know how you have a cold, and you wake up in the morning and your whole body hurts, your head feels [...]
Favorite Foal Fotos…
I really love the foals. I mean really, really love them. I was going through some files today and marveling at some of the beautiful shots I’ve been able to capture of the babies. This is only a very small fraction of the thousands upon thousands of photographs I have taken of the foals over [...]
Our Sunday on the Ranch
A few photos from the weekend. Hope you enjoy! Doing tricks with Payaso “Payaso, SIT!” And he did. My sweet Wimpy Riding up to the house… Wimpy, the son of Wimpys Little Step and a Topsail Whiz daughter Angus on Sunday morning Trail Ride Pepe Juanes rides Grant Share3
Good Morning Ranch Style…
This morning I saw something really beautiful. Most mornings the sunrise captures my interest and I am awed by the beauty outside my front door, but this morning? Pretty darned spectacular. Two things were working against me, though. Actually there were three things: the changing, rapid sunrise; the moving cattle; and my inexperience with the [...]
The Log Cabin: Before and After
This is the Rock Wall, before we even decided to make it a rock wall… this is just framing the area… the rock wall and stairs BEFORE I love ‘before’ and ‘after’s’, don’t you? Well, I have several here for you. We have officially handed over the log cabin to the owners. They arrived yesterday [...]
A Magic Ride
Memorial Day was a hot one here on the ranch. Still, the work had to be done… and our 5 year old really showed himself to be a capable ranch hand…
Update from the Ranch
Hey there, hi there, ho there…. just me… its Wednesday morning. Preparing for the day ahead to do a photo shoot with a sweet little girl from my son’s class. She’s a true cowgirl, too, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what magic we can create together this afternoon. If her Mom will let [...]
