Tangle Tree Ranch

Life is never boring when you have animals. Right now our kittens have started to wander out side of their barn. Oh boy, I had forgotten how fun they are to watch. I remember coming home from a summer in the mountains with our Grandmother, and crawling up in the barn to see the summer kittens. My sister and I spent hours there. Some years we got to keep a kitten each, other years we had too many. But how many hours of fun, just to watch them play with each other.

But weeds are growing, tomatoes takes for ever to get ripe, hay needs to be cut. It just rained, and life is great.

We got home from a wake at Fort Totten High School, one of our former students died in a car accident last week. Just 19 years old, The Davidson family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Incidents like this makes you step back and think. About your own life, choices we make and how they effect us. I have used the rule, rather late than never. Slow down, get there safe.

Yes, I am some times late for work in the morning. But I make those minutes up in the afternoon. It is hard to control road conditions, road construction and weather.

We should cut hay tomorrow, but it has rained, so we will see around noon if we can cut. In farming, we do plan, but we have at least 4 plans, just because of weather, machinery, livestock and a 5 year old.
