It's definately spring on the prairie. Seems the weather changes daily. We've gotten a couple good snows in the past 2 weeks totaling a foot. More snow then we've had all winter. Only thing is the total moisture out of the snows was just a little over .60. Not complaining but it sure takes...

Every year thousands of ranchers experience the first calf of the season. Each ranch is different, yet many are alike in some ways. We start the 1st calf heifers earlier then the range cows, so bring them home so we can tend to them closely as they experience their 1st born. I thought I'd...

This morning was cold Feb. morning. It was -13 with a southeast wind of 15-20. An old rancher once told me that no matter which direction that south east wind is out of, it's always COLD! I'll be the first to vouch for that. Looks are deceiving. I thought it was a warm looking...

Subject: Tea time One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me and my brother who is four years older than I am. I was maybe one and a half years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken among other injuries. Someone had given me a little 'tea...

Some pics and lyrics from the past couple of days. Just a few flurries, the weatherman said was in store, He was wayyyy off, we got 6 inches or more The toughest little birds, on the prairie no doubt Most leave in the fall, but these guys stick it out! [/img] A cold snapshot taken thru...

Just a satire view about all politicians. Vote for Me I was sitting one night in my recliner Watching some political debate When I heard one of those so- called experts Talk about an increasing tax rate. He said, " you know I think it's time now That the rich carry their own weight" And...

Just took a photo of "Prairie Dog Paul" Looks like at least 6 more weeks of winter. Of course Sometimes our winters are easier then the springs:wink: [/img] :wink:

January Day The rooster's crow echo's thru the cold A new day has begun Soon the darkness shall retreat Pushed away by the morning sun The livestock arise and seek the sun Soaking up it's weak solar rays Huddled together against a bank During these cold winter days Pickups are cold and...

Saw all the nice pics everyone has posted lately and thought I'd share a few. After tonight they'll be last years oldies. Hope there aren't too many. Awoke this morning and was treated to some pink Could be a good day I was starting to think. A world of white and a spot of blue, Looks so...

Wife wants to go to her home country for a Christmas get together this weekend. She's from up around Fargo. Why would anyone want to leave this kind of weather and go up where they've over a foot of snow on the ground. But being the good hubby I offered to take a couple hours out of my busy...

We haven't had much moisture so far this winter. Glad we missed the Dec. rain. Feel for those that are fighting the ice. Meanwhile we are enjoying a nice mild Dec. Sooooo- far. Morning on the creek Catching the early morning rays [/img] Dragon Calves--warm breath, cold air= breath fog...

When I saw this circle in the evening sky I had to snap a photo of it. It inspired me to write a short poem. Thought I would share it with you all. A lot of our friend and neighbors have experienced some sorrowful times this past year. Loss of loved ones and even pets make us feel sad. Not...

Now Where's that darn duck! :wink:

Wife got on the computer last night and it was so slow it was wearing on her patience. Then she checked my pic folder and found a couple hundred pics on there. Oops! So before I deleted all the pics I thought I share a folder called double vision. Price you pay for a lot of clickin...

Summer is winding down and it's been quite a year so far. As with every ranch, water is a vital part of the operation. Seems everything comes in extremes. Too hot, too cold, too wet, and too dry. Of course it's usually always too windy out here on the plains. Here some water related pics...

[/img] Seems after labor day most schools are in session. Reminds me of my grade school days. I was fortunate enough to attend a country school for all of my grade school years. There were only 2 in my grade thru out the 8 years, but we shared the one room school with as many as 10...
