The weekend has come and gone, and it feels like we never got a weekend at all! Friday night we watched a movie at the house. Then Saturday we fed and messed around the ranch a little, then went to Miles City that afternoon to run some errands. Wesley got his Valentine’s gift from me (a little early because he needed it)…a nice new Husky 455 Rancher chain saw. He was very excited about it! He had been wanting one for so long and really needed one to do the work he does out in the pastures with clearing land, so I told him that would be my Valentine’s gift to him. So of course we took it home and he fired it up Saturday evening! Sunday we fed the cattle, then cleaned out and organized our entire office. It took us an hour or so, but we now have everything filed, organized, and ready to go when calving season comes around. Then that evening I cooked a nice big unhealthy meal for us…chicken fried chicken, homemade fried okra, and French fries…it was delicious if I do say so myself!
Although it seems like we didn’t do much, its like we blinked our eyes and the weekend was over, and now its back to work. Tonight we are going to Miles City to start roping on some of our colts (and by “we” I mean Wesley…I’m still learning to rope). I’m going to take pictures, and hop on Reno if he’s brought along for the trip. I love the way Wesley breaks our colts, they turn out so soft. Wesley put a rope halter on Reno this Saturday and threw the lead rope over his back, then boosted me up and I rode him bareback around the arena. This horse is quite tall…too tall for me to get on by myself with stirrups, so I definitely couldn’t get on without them. Then I just slid off his backside to let myself down when I was done riding. He does an amazing job breaking all of our horses, and that right there proves it! I know I know I’m bragging again…but I can do that! So back to what I was saying…I’ll hop on Reno if he’s brought along tonight and ride him around while the guys are switching horses or something.
The weather here has been really good, so I hope I don’t jinx it by saying that! We’ve had high’s in the 50’s and lows in the lower 20’s…not bad for the middle of winter in Montana! We are expecting the same weather pattern throughout the rest of this week and into the weekend, so hopefully I’ll get some riding time in this weekend before winter comes back & brings ice & snow with it!
Wedding plans are moving right along for Wesley & me, and Wesley has picked out a spot where he’d like us to get married overlooking the mountains & cottonwood trees beside the soft rolling creek. Sound amazing? That’s because it is. It is gorgeous if I may say so! We are very excited to start planning our special day!
I believe that is all that is going on in the lives of Wesley & Tiffany. I hope everyone has a good week & I’ll update again soon!
