Thousand Hills Ranch

Our daily life involves kids.  Of course they make every event interesting.  From chores, errands, dad's work with the cattle and putting up hay, their perspective can make you laugh or cry.  The big girls are riding to check the cows on summer pasture tonight.  Usually they are the ones to saddle up and run up to the mt. meadow and bring in the milk cows, but since they are gone with dad, the little boys, Outgoing 7 yr. old and Distracted 11 yr. old are hoofing it up to the meadow on foot to bring Lucy, Clarabelle and Lady down for the night.  Outgoing boy says "Wow, three milk cows we are going to have a pride of milk cows!"  Now trotting back, Outgoing carefully cradles a little bird egg shell to show as a treasure of findings on their adventure.  All done now, a big persons job well done by capable brothers.  Distracted was not so distracted tonight.  He finished quickly and joins me on the deck for a lovely breezy evening.  Soon to bed,  the girls and dad should be home soon.  Gratitude, what a lovely life with kids in this valley.
