News From the Ranch, Episode 1201

I haven’t posted a Ranch news update in awhile. It’s hard to keep up with everything! We’ve downsized and don’t have cattle here any more, unless we’re babysitting cattle for other people, which happens sometimes — we use them to keep our pastures in shape. The horses are doing great — fat and sassy: The […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1792

It’s been a rough month of June here on the ranch, and June is only half over. Like My Cowboy says, “When it rains, it pours.” We seem to go along real smoothly for quite awhile, then a bunch of bad stuff happens all at once. Back in the winter, when I had my foot […]

A Happy Surprise!

A Happy Surprise!

Happy New Year to me! My Cowboy went out at chore time last night, and discovered that Blossom had twins during the afternoon! Blossom is my best nanny goat, the best mother, and never needs help, and prefers to be left alone, so it’s probably good I didn’t know she was having them so I […]

It’s been awhile since I posted a News From the Ranch episode. It’s been quite a year around here. Last time I updated, the snow was just getting over for spring, and now, we’re supposed to start getting snow again this week. I’m just not ready! But then, I’m never ready for snow — I […]

It’s Ranger’s Birthday!

He’s two years old today . . . I can hardly believe it — my, how the time has flown! And how he has changed! Here he is at only 4 days old, living in the house, having lost his mother and sister just since being born — off to a pretty rough start, poor […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1712

It’s been a super busy month around the ol’ ranch, especially for me. I’m doing everything by myself right now . . . all the chores, all the extra farm stuff, all the errands, all the cooking, all my own work, PLUS . . . playing nurse to My Cowboy . . . which is […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1640

It’s been awhile since I published a ranch update. Lots of folks have been asking for goat news, so I figured I’d better get to writing! Have I ever mentioned how much I hate winter? It just makes everything so much harder. Back in the fall, I started keeping an eye on my goats, thinking they […]

Fresh Feets!

Fresh Feets!

Yesterday was our regularly scheduled appointment with the farrier to have the boys pedicures done. It’s gotten cold here fast, freezes hard at night, and isn’t warming up too much during the day. I guess it IS getting onto winter here, so I shouldn’t be surprised — it’s just that I’m not ready! I wanted […]

MCR Miss Priss

That’s her registered name . . . but we’ve always called her Bonnie. My trusty steed. We have gone so many miles together, I can’t even begin to count. She’s been mine for almost 11 years, and she’s carried me through the Badlands without so much as a misstep; we’ve checked and chased cows, fixed […]

News From the Studio (and Ranch), Episode 1599

It’s business as usual around here — never a dull moment! Last night, it stormed all night long with horrible lightning and loud thunder. I didn’t get much sleep — I’m a storm chicken! It’s been storming off and on for the last few weeks. When it’s not storming, we have sweltering temps in the […]
