Out here on the prairies we have gone from 90 degrees on Thursday......YUP you guessed it - there was a hint of complaining going on...."man! it's hot". Then on Friday it was about 47 degrees tops.....Now this morning (Saturday) there is about an inch of snow on the ground. Oh well, keeps you on your toes! DON'T put those winter coats away yet!!!
Yesterday evening Gary went to the neighbors to help with some branding. It was one of those ---- round 'em up, rope 'em, cut 'em, brand 'em--- type of events. About 7 cowboys roping, 4 branding (12 irons in the fire), 2 vaccinating and so on. Gary and Vern vaccinated the 330 calves... Lots of little boys got to get their hands in there too and try to hold those tough little calves down. Lots of fun. Then afterwards the rancher feeds all the help.....there were probably 30 people there or more. And the food was magnificent.....ribs, scalloped potatoes, corn, green bean casserole, salads......and about a dozen pies. No that meal fixing was not loaded on one poor tired gal.....lots of food was brought in by the other neighbors.
Gary and Barb
