Today is a big day here on the Ranch! It’s Sassy and Sissy’s birthday!!! They are ONE year old today! And it’s bitter cold here. I’m thanking my lucky stars that one year ago, on the night they were born, that it was not near this cold. And I’m planning carefully for no more winter […]

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 […]

MCR Miss Priss

Posted on October 20, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals, Prairie Moon Ranch

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 […]

Update on the Twins

Posted on April 12, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals, Prairie Moon Ranch

Some would say, “It’s just a goat!” But My Cowboy and I both firmly believe that if you own livestock, or animals of any kind, then you have an important responsibility to take care of them the best that you can, no matter what — no matter the weather, no matter the problem, no matter […]

Two years ago, on April 11, 2015, I went to a goat sale to buy a friend for my goat, Jasper, because, as it is said: “An only goat is a lonely goat”, and I didn’t want Jasper to be lonely. Would you want to disappoint this sweet face? I came home with two friends […]

After pretty much ignoring my blogs for the entire summer, I think I’ll fill you in on a little of what’s been going on around here. I’ll try to keep it short, and tell you all the other stuff later. Thank you to everyone who’s been checking in with me, wondering if anything is wrong. […]

Cowboy Follies

Posted on December 13, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

A trip to the emergency room is not supposed to be funny — unless you’re with My Cowboy, and then it’s downright hilarious! After a couple sleepless nights, a bad day yesterday, and his inability to get up this morning, I made My Cowboy let me take him in to get checked out. He’d been […]

Unseasonably Warm

Posted on December 12, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

We’ve been having some crazy warm weather for December around here. I really like it, but it’s gonna make me hate it even worse when it does finally get cold. When my Cowboy said he was fixin’ to ride out and check the cattle, I unplugged the longarm and said, “I wanna go, too.” It’s […]

Posted on March 17, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch, Quotes, What's New

We’ve had a most wonderful break in the cold weather the last week or so, and that means we’ve been doing as much as possible outdoors. Winter is so hard on things. Freezing, thawing, getting wet, wind, mud, snow, ice, and hard ground — it just makes everything more difficult. So we do as little […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1163

Posted on September 23, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Guild Stuff, Prairie Moon Ranch, What's New

It’s been very busy around here, which is nothing new. It’s also been very hot and dry. And we’ve been doing lots of things. We got four new kitties, from three different places, but they’re all a bit camera shy. They’ve decided to camp out in the hay loft down at the barn, which is […]
