So I added another wheel to the flock. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have a “flock” of wheels now did I? Well, I guess if two can be called a flock then I did. I will tell you about the other wheel when it’s more appropriate as it needs a little TLC and …
Simon the Siamese was born on our farm but we aren’t sure to whom and we sure as hell don’t know who his daddy is. We don’t have any Siamese cats on the farm nor have we seen any lately that look the way he does. However, Simon doesn’t let his unknown parentage stop him …
Last night Dad and I took Herbert, Remington, and Garth to The National Cattle Congress in Waterloo, Iowa. They are going to be breed representatives for the Shetland breed. I hope they behave…. All the way there, Herbert was jumping up on the window ledge of the back windows of the van to look out …

Summer is always hectic for me and this summer has been absolutely slammed so far. I have had a lovely little trip this month to Idaho for a wedding. Here are some photos: Yes I …
Today was a most excellent mail day. Our mail carrier will back in whenever he has a package for one of us. You know that it’s going to be good when he actually gets out of the truck. Getting out of the truck means either multiple packages or a really big one. Today it was …
I finally reached my breaking point. I was chasing the lambs out of the f*#$@&g cornfield the other night and there it was. I didn’t know that it was so close, but boom, suddenly it was there. It was like reaching a perverse goal that you don’t really know that you are aiming for. I …
