Casey and Julie Rindal of
Paul's Valley, Oklahoma

It was chilly with snow still on the ground Friday the
6th when Casey and Julie stopped in to pick up "Bess" on their
way to John and Karen Tate's in Seneca, Missouri. Chili,
hot coffee and hot chocolate took the edge off in between
working dogs. |

This is what we woke up to
Dec 5th! |
|

Thank goodness for
dogs that will go the distance, especially early morning.
Leslie could stay at
the barn while Sling brought them in.
Yes, that is ice
coating the barbwire. |
|
 |
Ben fixed the
horses this morning too! Hotwire around the hay bales.
That's a 7.7 reading on his little tester. You can't
see the
big smile on
his face! |

Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. This
is what we woke up to Dec 4th!
The freezing rain they
promised last week arrived this week. |
|

That's ice on them
'there bushes! |
 |
 |
|
 |
Of course,
considering our winter experiences (Colorado, Wyoming, Iowa,
Illinois and
Missouri), we are smiling all the way to the barn! |

Ben's Kate dog had a
good time too.

A Blessed Thanksgiving!

The bad weather
didn't come. We had mild temps and sunshine. We
checked all the surrounding pastures. Not sure how we
figured the turkey and trimmings would get used up on horseback! Keeper is
checking out a big den! And this time it's Ben's horse, "Skyball"
enjoying a good roll!

Slingshot
bringing them on.

We rode half a
section checking cows and yearlings our last full day of high
60's and
sunshine the weekend
before Thanksgiving before it turned off cold with predicted
ice.
