Too Much Go 'n Not Enough Whoa!

~Age is relative. You're as old as you feel. I'm sixty and I feel like a girl.~
~Joanne Link 1906~

It's been crazy ever since Lakeview...Harney County Fair...Pendleton...4 days of working cows...putting the October Horsefly publication together....My Man gave me his wonderful head cold...what's next?!?

I think the fever broke this mornin' 'cause I feel a bunch better. Thank goodness...since I'm leaving this afternoon for my fall Mike Bridges clinic...for a week!! I'm scramblin' around getting my food, clothes and horse stuff all packed in the trailer. Of course Miss Cindy Sue has her overnight bag that needs to get packed too!

So, I'll leave you with a few photos from gatherin' cows off of Moon Hill in the Diamond area (FYI, the WW photo from yesterday is riding into the ranch from the back side...a fairy tale trail for sure!).

  16. Love the pictures.
    Saw some 'cowboys' rounding up cattle on a hillside across from us. I'm not sure if they had a Bella Jo with them or not. They came in with 4 semi's and hauled the cattle away - sad day. No more cows to watch :-(

  20. I could never understand why my Uncle, never collected the cows, from the back of a horse!
    It has been my dream, for as many years as I care to remember. You are indeed blessed, blessed with so many treasures.
