Posted on February 14, 2019February 14, 2019by SDPrairieWriter

Looking back through my phone’s photos recently and I grabbed ahold of this one. It was taken Nov. 1, 2018 and we had just brought our heifers home from summer pasture and given them their needed vet check-ups. We got done just in time to turn them back into fresh pasture and get them settled […]

Posted on December 20, 2018December 20, 2018by SDPrairieWriter

Everyone has different sounds that they relate to the holiday season.  It could be the background noise of a college football game on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas carols on the store’s overhead system that gets you into the spirit.  Maybe it’s the sounds of wrapping paper being readied to wrap that brings home the giving aspect […]

October has been busy

Posted on November 7, 2018by SDPrairieWriter

Many women love fall, for its comfy sweaters and pumpkin spice everything but I tend to enjoy it for different reasons. It’s been a busy month, let’s see what has been happening.

Ride a wide circle

Posted on October 13, 2018October 13, 2018by SDPrairieWriter

This month the words ‘Ride A Wide Circle’ have been echoing in my mind. It is a saying I most associate with my grandfathers and though I don’t recall them ever saying it outright to me I can certainly imagine them doing so. They both embodied it in every way – both literally and figuratively. […]

Channeling Grandma

Posted on March 28, 2018May 9, 2018by SDPrairieWriter

My daughter was 2 when we said goodbye to my Grandma Noreen and yet, this last week my now four-year-old has channeled her spirit. Maybe it’s just me being cognizant that it was my grandma’s birthday on March 12. But shortly thereafter Kimber began to show her “Noreen” side. One day she announced to me […]
