MUCH NEEDED SNOW AND RAIN

We have been in a drought for longer than I can accurately say.  Lately we have gotten some moisture, and as much of a pain as it is, and the muddy mess it's created, none of us are complaining.

Well that's not entirely true,  This morning we had to gather the cows out of the field and it was like skating on ice.  For some reason, my horse seemed to have more trouble walking on it than all the others.  So I believe there may have been a little complaining on my part.

It's been a little cold.  But also so beautiful.

Whenever we get the chance to chase cows on the weekends we do.  This gives our youngest cowboys and cowgirls the chance to come along.  And let me tell you, they are tough.  No complaining from them.
​

We took the cows from the fields at the ranch, up and over the hills and into the next valley, where they will spend the rest of the winter.

I'm not riding much these days, as my priorities have changed now that I'm a grandma of two little girls.  But it won't be long before we have them out on the range with us.  
It was great to be able to go along this day.
