Blooming Yucca's



The Spanish Daggers (Yucca’s) are blooming everywhere! They’re so beautiful! Here’s a shot of some of the ones near the bunkhouse. You can see Gravy in the foreground sniffing out something? Oh, by the way, our Border Collie, Biscuit, has 8 “Borgi” (Border Collie/Corgi [Gravy’s the dad] mix) puppies born April 6! They’re still under the house, but when she brings them out, I’ll post a picture of them.

A Crazy Few Weeks!


Where did the time go! Lots going on! Since I last wrote, Patricia’s mom lost her husband to a very quick battle with Lymphoma. Our sympathies go out to her! The same week Tim Ballard (Kim’s ‘cattle drive’ right hand man and Tye’s best man at his wedding) and Alison Hammill got married. Alison is our kid’s friend that they met while working at Lost Valley Ranch in Colorado. Burnt Well was host to many of the Lost Valley staff that attended and were in the wedding.
During that time, also, Kim got 15 horses shod for the upcoming cattle drives and Patricia and Sarah (our neighbor/friend) started painting the ‘casita’. We’re enjoying guests this week from Oklahoma and have a new helper on the ranch, Marty, from the Chicago area. He hit the ground running, working on some native landscaping around the ‘casita’.
