Musings from the Big Dry Creek of Montana, of my cowboy, ranching in general, growing grandchildren, and the fun of touching fabulous fabrics.

Cowboy's Blizzard Picture
Cowboy wanted his camera to take some pictures outside. He went to feed a "little" bunch of calves that will go to market when he can get them out!! And then he went to get some more fire wood. Note the snow drift in front of the deck. The big snow pile by the side of the garage is my water tank/strawberry bed. It collected lots of snow. I am just so thankful that we don't have to go out in this, unless the power goes out and then Cowboy will have to hook up a generator. We are praying that everything will hold until this is over. We just got word that The Farmer and The Farmer's Wife are out of power. Hope everyone can find a warm spot to get to.
Here is some more fire wood for us. I was going to sweep a little while Cowboy was shoveling the deck because of the big drift, and the snow is wet even though it is not 32. The wind was so strong, I didn't stay outside very long. Bill took the broom and tried getting it off of the screen and window of sliding door and it is filled again and it has only been one hour.
I took this picture of the pin-tail grouse early in January. He/She was eating the berries out of the cedar tree right outside the living room window. Margaret told me that Gramps used to put corn on the deck railing to entice them to come in and eat. Without Grandma being home, the grouse have been eating the berries in her trees undisturbed. It was fun to do some bird watching.
Such good pictures. I love the little grouse all fluffed out to keep warm. Hope he can find some good things to eat! Yes, I am glad Grandma is down here where it is a bit less dangerous, and after reading everyone's blogs, she is glad she is out of the storm. I am praying for electricity for ya'll. Goodness, I don't know how you stand it!
It is a bit confining, this snow. You have some pretty good drifts. we had quite a bit of snow, but is all has blown away somewhere. Love the picture of the grouse.
