cowgirl, artist, goddess of the plains
It’s hunting season in Kansas ……. again. T.H. bought himself this fake deer and planted it in the front yard. Where it stood for several weeks. Why? You ask. Why? I ask myself “Why?” several times a day when it comes to T.H. Puncher asked …. Every time she went out ….. “Why?” “Why is [...]
I thought I would share a little “Quiet Time” with you today. We were trailing some cattle home from a pasture 5 miles away. It’s the Kansas way. You take some really gentle momma cows and calves. Put a feed truck in front of them and a horse behind them. And you have a “Walking [...]
I’ve had Playboy for two weeks. He has not displayed one single solitary quirk. None. Zip. Nada. Nothing. I like my horses to be quirky. It makes me happy if they’re quirky. It gives me something to write (blog,talk) about. Now what am I supposed to do? Make stuff up? Come on, Playboy. [...]
We have a recurring situation with a ‘water gap’. A water gap is a stretch of fence that crosses a creek. Twice this spring it has rained buckets which causes the creek to rise quickly and all the floating debris demolishes the ‘water gap’. ‘Debris’ as in logs and trees not ‘debris’ as in garbage. [...]
Last year was about scarcity. This year is about abundance. A new experience for Puncher ….. and Paint. We go out to bring cattle in they have to swim and wade through a sea of grass. Sometimes she’s like a torpedo shooting though the tall grass. Sometimes Paint has to stop and catch his [...]
We gathered and shipped our big steers to the sale barn for auction tomorrow. I thought you might like to come along for the ride. It was a glorious spring morning in Kansas. Mid-April and knee-deep grass in places. Spring came a month early in the Heartland. T.H. is giving instructions to the cowboys (and [...]
Last Friday was a “Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” for me and Puncher and Paint. (And T.H. too.) We go out first thing to ‘work’ the steers we bought at the auction on Thursday. Puncher does the foot work. She brings them up from the back pens to the chute where T.H. is getting all [...]
Several people have asked me what happened the ‘sore-eyed’ steer. How sweet. Thanks for asking. I would love to tell you. After we gathered the bunch and sorted off the 4 big steers and the ‘sore-eye’. The 4 big ones got loaded in the front and you saw the part where he tried to mother-up [...]
OK. So Paint and I get finished gathering some steers for T.H. He sorts off some big ones to take to another pasture closer to home in order to get them ready to sell next week. One has a sore eye that needs to come home to be doctored. Small problem. They didn’t all [...]
Spring came early in Kansas. Blessed Spring. And green grass. Puncher has more work/play to do everyday. We have been really busy sorting and moving cattle around. I am perfecting my “Hip Shots” technique while loading the stock trailer with her.I just hold my pocket camera at waist level, while it is set on [...]
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...]
