cowgirl, artist, goddess of the plains
You know, sometimes these blog posts just write themselves. I keep thinking I should be ashamed of myself. But I’m not ……. in the least. I think my daughter might be a little embarrassed of me and for me. She may have wished I would behave myself since I was visiting her at her new [...]
“Hey buddy, where can a frog wet his whistle around here?” It’s been almost 110 degrees every day this week. As I was watering my only surviving flower-pot this little froggie jumped out. Ok I know he is technically a toad, but whatever. He’s still beautiful. For the purpose of this blog post I will [...]

Ace didn’t make it into the Worlds Greatest Cowdog like Puncher. But he has many talents. There is one though…… at which he excels. And that one is ….. He makes me laugh …… out loud …… at least once …….. every single …. solitary day. Love, Cowgirl Red aka Terah Check [...]
The past few weeks I have been perfecting my technique of “Shoulder Shots”. That is taking snapshots over my shoulder behind me while I’m riding or walking or 4-wheeling. What is the purpose of this? ( I know you are wondering) 1. First and foremost, for my own entertainment. 2. I’m very curious to see [...]
I am a “Snapshooter”. Really. It’s in the dictionary even though WordPress doesn’t recognize it. It’s right above “Snapshot”. A person who takes snapshots.“Snapshot” is a word made up in the year 1890. A casual photograph made typically by an amateur (me) with a small handheld camera (fits in my pocket). I spent a few [...]
This fall I’ve walked in beauty everyday. I walk down by the creek behind the house. It’s good for my mental health. After a summer of drought my senses are a dried up sponge. Tiger Kitty is good for my mental health too. She follows me everywhere. I try not to trip over her. [...]
This ranch is burnt up with drought. But everyday, on my walks and on my horse I can still find pockets of beauty. The Monarchs come twice a year. They’re headed south this time. The oldtimers say there used to be more. I’m grateful for these. There seems to be a side show going [...]
In the Cowgirl World, a “Saddle Series” is a series of horse competitions over time with the winner taking home a new trophy saddle. Barrel Racing, Cutting, Ranch Sorting. All western events have them. The saddles are highly prized in the horse kingdom. I’ve never won one. I may buy one on EBay someday. My [...]
This is a very philosophical topic. Too much or not enough? It is right up there with “Is the glass half-full or half-empty?” I think a person is one or the other. No matter how hard I try I seem to remain a half-empty person while T.H. is a half-full person. You would think this [...]
I'm Terah. A wannabe cowgirl turned real cowgirl. Well, more like a redheaded cow (middle-aged-woman) girl. Red is the color of my hair, my favorite color, the color of passion, and my toenails. An artist, turned CPA, turned artist again. My medium is fabric and textiles. Ok, I'm not … [Read More...]
