Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Not everyone is so special to spend the holidays gathering a Christmas Tree on their own land less than 1 mile from their home!

(Found THE ONE!)

We were so excited to get the tree up and decorated.  This year has been a very special year in many many ways, there will be lots of memories after living in the bunkhouse, Christmas is no exception!  Since space is so limited in the house we made the decision to set up the our Tree outside on the deck.  So after putting the lights, garland and beads on we thought we were finished.  However, in about two hours the this is how we found the tree!

So we made the best of the situation and used that chair as a great picture area!

Where did Fall Go??

Who thinks it is time for an update?! For Pete’s sake, I am so ashamed that I have let everyone go this long. We made it through our first full year here. No major issues right, just a few minor setbacks. The cattle were shipped out October thru November and everything went pretty well! We had a few naughty critters that just made their way back home this week, always has to be a few in the bunch! Over the year I managed to gather up about 18 head of horses, which The Rancher told me was WAY too many. My response, “says who?” But I did find a good family to send 3 of the ones who just were not quite mountain material.

I’ll leave you with some photos from the shipping days!
