Though you're not exactly blue,
Yet you don't feel like you do
In the winter, or the long hot summer days.
For your feelin's and the weather
Seem to sort of go together,
And you're quiet in the dreamy autumn haze.
When the last big steer is goaded
Down the chute,and safely loaded;
And the summer crew has ceased to hit the ball;
When a fellow starts to draggin'
To the home ranch with the wagon --
When they've finished shipping cattle in the fall.

Awesome pics as usual Michelle!!! Haven't seen a lot of Ash and Bibs lately... They just getting their beauty sleep while Master Rook tends to the chores??!!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Hefty Heffers, when will Miss Ash be coming into season, and become a Hefty Covergirl Herself??? Andrea and I can't wait to come back out your way and see the crew again!!! Soon I hope!!
Take Care,
Ryan & Andrea
Hey Ryan and Andrea! These days, I have been spending a lot more time with Rookie the youngster in the crew so he can have more opportunities to practise his cattle skills. Ash and "Bibs" are also working equally as hard, taking turns helping with ranch chores. Don't worry, I will be posting more photo opps of the easy, breezy Cover girl and her Hype girl "Bibs" throughout the fall.
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to keep you both in the loop about Miss Ash. It is all up to her when her time is right to go into season. No signs yet. You are always welcome to come for another visit as we wait for mother nature to take its course. I know the crew would love to go for another hike with you guys! Stay tuned for more pics of the Crew.
Cheers
Michelle, Ash, Cybelle, and the Rookie of the month
