Wow, it's been a long time

Pretty Sceenery




These horses were so funny.

Pretty horse wondering where all the cows were going.
Get back with the herd!

The whole herd. 98 head of cattle.

These white cows wanted to know where we were going, too.

Lambs we saw on the way.

One of my favorite pics of the whole herd.

Some cows were onery. The wanted to eat that grass!



Getting started.

Herding them out.

Luxie on her 6x6. She owns the cows.

What happens when a semi wants by? Don't worry, the cows will move.
Self portrait! :)




Okay, you know I'm busy when I don't even have the time to post a blog. It has been forever! A lot has happened since my last post. Like for instance, I turned 30 on April 13th! I debated having a pre-midlife crisis but decided against it. It was a great day! Probably my best birthday yet! My husband did a surprisingly wonderful job considering how he has done in the past. Anyways, all in all it was a good day. I don't really feel any different, though. Just sad that my 20's are gone. Those were the best years of my life so far.




And I got to be apart of a one of a kind cattle drive. We took a friend of mine's cattle about 10 miles in about 7 hours. It's amazing what kind of work it is to complete this. We had 3 four wheelers, 1 6x6 and 1 person on horseback. It is perferred to have more people on horseback but it didn't work out that way this time. A horse can go a lot of places that a four wheeler cannot. So, our horseback girl worked hard that day! I hope you enjoy the pics. They are all rear shots because I was in the flasher truck bringing up the rear. The boys were with me and they did great! Especially for being in the truck all day.


Anyways, I will try to update this thing more often. Maybe life will slow down a little but so far it does not look like that's going to happen anytime soon!
