This was our first show back on 5th grade. He was ornery as all get out, but when asked he gave everything to whatever I asked. He died this year at 35 years old. He was truly my best bud fir so many years.

When mean cows encounter a stubborn dog!
We moved cows for Weaning today and there were several old hides that did not want to move. Jipsey did her fair share of persuading them. However her poor face shows her work.
Doing what she does!
Jipsey moving cows. Love her eagerness, at just over a year old, she is a die hard worker.
Counting heifers through the gate.
My husband is getting a count of heifers we moved. Jipsey is learning to sit and wait. Patience is not a key word for her right now. But she’s learning quickly.
Tink and Jipsey ready to gather heifers
Yep, they live to work. As soon as my husband was in sight Tinker left me high and dry. But Jipsey did good.
The Best Dip Ever!
I have found that the Pioneer Woman’s Spinach Artichoke Dip is by far the best dip in the world. I confess I make it at least once a month. It’s not a dip, it’s a meal. You need, no you must go to her website and print out this recipe.

Pajama Quilt
My son has been saving his pajamas every year since he was little. You see my mom, aka best grandmother ever, makes him several pairs each Christmas. I am finally learning to quilt and we looked at patterns and took a little from one and a little from another and came up with this design using 1/2 square triangles. I will post more as it comes along. I already moved the reds so that they are at the same spots. This is just the center. There is more to come.
Looking for Strays
Yesterday we went up the mountain to gather up the few strays we could find. It was a fry cry from the beautiful day Saturday to 4 days later. Let me just say running tennis shoes and blowing snow equal very cold feet. I will reconsider my choice of footwear from now on!
Halloween fun
Made these for my son’s class party tomorrow. I think they are going to be a hit.
Icy Morning
We didn’t get the snow that was predicted last night. However we did get some ice.
