There’s no place like home
Monday, January 26, 2015 It felt almost springlike here yesterday! And it looks like today will be a repeat. Weather like this makes it very conducive to sitting in the pasture looking for movement in the pregnant moms bellies. 🙂 … Continued
Take a rest
Sunday, January 25, 2015 After a few pretty busy days here I declare today is for resting! 🙂 Some days it’s good to be the boss. LOL Since my house is still filled with the spinning wheels and fiber from … Continued
Spinning Saturday

Saturday, January 17, 2015 Happy Birthday to Ed! I’d let him take the day off, but really he wouldn’t like that at all. So we’ll have a nice normal busy day at the ranch and he’ll get to eat my … Continued
