This Week in Project life.......


On Wed I went out to the ranch with Dad, and helped repair the barn roof that was damaged by the tornado in Aug 2011.  It's a slow project, we are working on getting the  rafter back up, and putting the 2x6's across the rafters.   Smokey was bored in the afternoon, and in the evening Max, the cat greeted him when we arrived home. 

We also caked the cows that are on the cornstalks. The 040 cow loves to eat cake from our hands. 

The horses were up so I went and visited them, gave them scratches. The black/grey filly is my three yr old out of McKenzie, can't wait to get her started this summer.  The eye is from my three yr old buckskin filly, the sorrel filly is my three yr old orphan filly by Sage,  the sorrel head shot is Wyatt, his face healed up nicely from the surgery, and my buckskin filly is nibbling on my sorrel filly while I scratch her. The last picture is of our first calf heifers that are due in March. 



On Saturday, I went out to the ranch to help work on the barn, the first picture is the east side of the barn with the wall missing, Smokey playing with the ranch dogs, Dad cutting the tin in the next two pictures, burning the boards and feed bags to melt  the ice in the tank, more cutting tin, smokey sleeping, smokey playing fetch with a piece of wood, and then burying it, and having a very dirty nose, Dad on the ladder screwing more pieces of wood on the rafters, and the last picture is the barn with the wall finished. 


Thurday was the Lady Wrangler drill team meeting, and we elected officers. I'm the historian once again, it's my job to take pictures and scrapbook them.  

Sunday was my day to make donuts at work....


Pretty winter scene this morning


My cross stitch project is coming along slowly....
 





















For Christmas I got my sister a puppy, and she finally got to pick her out, and meet her.  I drew my sister's name for Christmas, and that's what was on her list.  We then went out to eat at the Cedar Canyon steakhouse for supper. Yum.
