A Lot of Irons in the Fire

Literally!!!

 

Most of the cows are tagged, branded and off to pasture... 

 

 

Branding is my LEAST favorite thing to do!!

 

Hurts me as much as I think it hurts them.

 

I think 20 bucks worth of tags is PLENTY to identify them by!!

 

But..... I don't make the cow rules....

 

It was my 47th birthday this week.

 

Where do the years go??

 

As my friend said - When we were in school, a year took forever!!!

Pierre Cloutier Trekking to British Columbia

A couple of weeks ago when it was -100(ok -45C)....

 

Justin and I were going to pick up Vanna, the new milking machine.

 

I commented on how I could not imagine how people used to travel by horse and buggy.

 

There are not enough warm rocks to make that appealing to me.

 

Then Justin told me about a guy who was doing that very thing headed to BC from Quebec.

 

Who would think Justin would have stumbled on him in Stoughton!!

a snap chat pic from Justin

 

 

This is a video of the Pierre - the man Justin saw in Stoughton,Sk this week

 

Pierre started his trek in December,2014.

Pierre Cloutier is travelling across Canada with his two Belgian horses and his dog. He has two covered wagons, which he built himself. Fully equipped with a solar power and generator to supply power to his signal and 4way lights, also satellite radio. Pierre left St. Barnaby , Quebec and is going to British Columbia. He is relying on the generosity of any farm that can provide shelter and a place to rest his horses along the way. A man with a dream ! Good Luck Pierre !

 

He has made it along ways by horse!!

 

Thank goodness the weather has improved.

 

 

Quite an adventure.....
