Little Man’s New Friend

A Cowboy's Wife — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 04:25:50 +0000

I love that my boy ain’t skeered of small crawly bugs! He just grabbed up this little caterpillar and let it crawl all over him. I didn’t even want it on me and he tried to put it on me. I just pretended I need to go pee. It was quite a show though really. I was intrigued at how long he played with the little fuzzy friend. Had I had one of those popcorn machines, I would have sit back, ate popcorn and watched him all evening but I had to cook supper of course. Can you believe that these boys of mine want to eat in the evenings….geez.

Anyways, enjoy the pics. Would love to know if your little one is skeered of bugs or anything?

We sit outside every evening so we get to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Here are 3 different sunsets for you to enjoy too:)

And for those of you who always ask me this question…..No, I didn’t anything. I only cropped.

Home of the Rattlesnake Who Brought Rain

A Cowboy's Wife — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 01:31:43 +0000

Yep, it’s still hot which means rattlesnakes are still around. Luckily we haven’t had that many but here’s one that could have easily bitten one of us. It was right at the gate where we ALL go back and forth to the barn and shop.

My father-in-law was walking that way to check on his chickens when, all of the sudden, he was running back my way into the house. Come right back out with his gun. Of course, I ran in to get my camera! I wasn’t quick enough though to get a LIVE shot of the rattler. I got the picture right when he was getting shot!

Where were the boys? They were listening to MP3 players and napping. Good thing to because I bet you anything had they walked over there, they would NOT have been paying attention!

So anyways, there’s a sayin’ that if you hang the rattlesnake up that it will rain. Is it true? Well, it rained all day and night 2 days later so you tell me;)

Weekly Photo Pickins’

A Cowboy's Wife — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 06:06:19 +0000

I think all these photos represent Summer fun! You’ve got steak from barbecuing, the beautiful scenery and sunset, and a cutie patootie swimmer. What else could you ask for? BUT, since I can only enter ONE photo into the 5M4M contest, I’m entering the third picture of my little man swimming:)

Could this be part of Monday’s recipe?

Elk in the Rolling Plains?

A Cowboy's Wife — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 04:19:05 +0000

We’re driving down some dirt roads here by where we live, back roads that have been travelled by me and my man many times;) Anyways, there’s one of those wildlife thingamajigs over there and we took the little man to see the elk. It’s funny really, all those times where we used to live, I never got to see an elk up close. Oh my husband did many times but not me. Who’d a figured I’d have to come here to the rolling plains to see them!

These 3 convicts escaped their 15ft prison walls somehow. I highly doubt that they jumped that fence, unless they, of course they have wings hidden under that fur. Nope, we figure they must have gotten out through a water gap. You know, it sure was hard not to pull out the ol’ 30/30 and get ourselves some free meat! I wonder if they have term insurance? No, not the elk silly!–the owners:)

“Ya’ll be still and maybe they won’t see us.”

I would have gotten out of the truck and stuck my lens through the fence but I was barefoot and there were lots of stickers, not that my feet would notice but you know…….

This is the Mac Daddy I figure. I mean, he looks like a mac daddy don’t he? Surely it’s not a Mac Mommy??? Do the girls get antlers? LOL….pardon me while I Google that!

Rays of Hope

Last night, we had another storm but right before it, there was this cloud with the sun peeking through and I thought it was a pretty site. While looking at it, I was thinking of our situation and instantly felt inspirational and uplifted with hope. Hope that things are okay and will only get better. Now I’m not religious at all but I felt “talked” to at that moment. It was a peaceful moment that I had with myself and perhaps, with someone else……..

Nature In West Texas

A Cowboy's Wife — Tue, 06 May 2008 04:08:35 +0000

Sometimes it’s refreshing to just go outside and enjoy nature. Of course here in West Texas, there ain’t a whole lot to look at, not like in a place like Branson Missouri but you make do and move on. Finally, after months and months of no rain, we got a small shower. Not much, but enough to settle the dirt.

I’m tired so I’m just gonna post some pics and let you converse among yourselves. If you haven’t been checking out my food blog, then you’re missing out on some great prizes! Alrighty folks, I’m outta here.

Oh, I would like to know if you think the pictures are TOO big or not? Do you like the old size or the new size?

The only flower I could find in the pasture………

Stormy weather approaching….slowly getting dark…..

OOOOOOOOOOOO, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
