Oh give me a home

And the skys are not cloudy or grey!

Maybe you've been wondering...

Where have I gone?!?

Well.......

I've gone Rogue!

I've hooked up with a band of Bandits.

We roam the snowy countryside looking for hay piles and chocolate vampire lips to eat. It's true.

School

They walked uphill, both ways, to a one room shack for school.

I hear you knocking

If opportunity doesnt knock, build a door.

Elko hats and Hayin

After so much anticipation, Tracy and I finally got our new hats!!! Many thanks to Dave at Wolf's Hattery in Spokane WA for ordering and shaping them for us. The style is called Elko, in case anyone wants to rush out and get one too!

The Priest River hayin crew L to R: Mike, Cindy, Tracy, Me, and Arthur. We did some serious work!

Pretty view in the background, isnt it?

Sunset and Seedhouse

One of many beautiful sunsets on the Palouse. Harvest time seems to magnify the vivid colors of dusk.

Seed house in St John. Wish I could take the sign down and hang it at my house...love the texture!

Post-a-palooza! My weekend in pics.

Diamond's round bales dot the hillsides

Round bales at dusk

The Palouse River meanders past Green Hollow

The best damn hayin crew a girl could ask for!

Boy and Dog enjoy a cool dip in the river

Captain Cash-tastic... He's the best river rock pickin dog in the Greater Palouse.

Buzzin around on my back porch

A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't buzz any slower.

The old homestead on Mack Lloyd Rd

She's an old old house but still stands so strait after all these years.

A walk around the old cattle chutes

Peekaboo!

I see you! Oh yes I do!

And this just makes me giggle. It's a Cowboy Cone! Imagine the marketing strategy ;)

I LOVE horse time!

A touching moment between trainer, Nate,  and trainee(s), Rohana and Rio.

I've been spending a whole heap of time with fellow horse people, trail riding and watching lessons- taking pictures and taking it all in. I really enjoy this horsey time...wouldn't you?

A few of my very most favorite horse friends and I enjoying an evening trail ride.

Turkey Lurkey

Errrrk Erk Errkkkk      Chick Vvvvvmmmmmmmm

That, my friends, is what a male turkey's mating call sounds like.

Well...at least our white turkeys sounded like that when I'd walk in the pen

so that's what I assume this tom sounds like...

WILD TURKEYS! Who knew they lived in the draw below our house!

odds and ends

Today I want to share a few pictures I love!

A tribe of sillys!

We really enjoyed the 1st Annual Dutch Oven Cookoff this last weekend.

Good morning deer!

Cinders takes a moment to watch the deer run by in the morning before settling in to her feed pile.

I feel random, oh so random

MOM- Spoiler Alert- Dont look at the last picture! I MEAN IT! :)

Rows upon rows of cherry trees in Prosser, WA. Love how they flow over the hill.

A Valentine's package from my Secret Sister. It was incredibly SWEET and thoughtful of her.

THANK YOU!!!

Greeting cards I made for my Mom, the sheep lady of Southern Utah.

Paper Pals of Pullman, WA brought in some super cute farm animal stickers.

Waiting for Jeanne

We're waiting at the end of the driveway for Jeanne. She's gonna come from that direction. She has a big trailer and our driveway is pretty narrow in spots so we meet her on the road.

OMG, aren't we sweet?
