WINTER AND THE END OF 2016

Winter means frosty mornings, beautiful skies, a lot of hard work and maybe even a little fun.

A day on the range.

I broke the ice in three sets of tubs yesterday. Now that isn't three tubs mind you. It's like 8 to 11 tubs in each set.  Wow, I was exhausted.

Along with ice breaking comes the winter riding. The cowboys took the cows out to the North range this week. I made Clay and Hannah pose for a couple of pictures.  They are good sports.

This was a two day cattle drive, for a total of about 25 miles. Day one they went 14 miles. Then finished up the next day. 

Dave and I hauled hay, mineral block and water troughs for the cows.  What a beautiful day.

We managed to sneak a little fun in on Christmas day.

This old toboggan still flies down the hill. It was my dad's when he was a kid in the 50's.

This was the landing.  haha

Here is a family photo. It is a difficult process getting this group to pose for a picture.  
Clay, Hannah, Kori, Ryan, Tana and Dave.
So that is about it for 2016.  Here's wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year.
