my husband’s BootBarn boots!
Well, eons ago I promised an actual review of the boots that the fabulous BootBarn sent him. I got him to put them on again (men are stubborn things!) and he loves them. Gawd, I like saying I told you so… They stretched out within the first hour or two of wearing them, and he hasn’t complained mentioned that they are tight since…and… Continue reading

The Garden Fairy…
Well… It happened again. Just like clockwork, this time of year my garden magically gets planted while I am off doing something (or in bed!). How do you get this magical, wonderful fairy to appear?! Well…this was my method…. Ever since we moved into the family farmhouse, I lucked out in the yard lottery, as the… Continue reading

But it’s got to get done, and it’s only a few weeks of this…. Then it’s spraying time, haying time…… Sigh. Anyways…… Continue reading

Out here in the sticks….
Here are a few images of what we’ve been up to over the last few weeks… Here is the girlie out feeding chop to some of the steers… And a visitor we had a while back… And the girlie’s cow had a calf….so of course we had to tag it…. (can you tell which one… Continue reading

Some spring looks…
Being that there is a foot of snow still in my yard…this is just wishful thinking. But it was fun to create these and I thought that maybe spring has sprung somewhere… And of course….for all the ladies out checking their momma cows!! 😉 Happy Monday all! Love…. Cathryn Continue reading

Our morning…
Yesterday the temperature actually rose above -20C (!!!) so the kids and I headed out to play. I had a blast! And I think the kids had fun too… This is a fort Cassie and her dad built a few weeks ago…. Nice and sturdy looking…. The kids burying themselves…. (yes, my house is now… Continue reading
