Copper Cuffs & Baby Calves

    

       Well February was here and passed quite quickly. It has been busy around here for me. I have been taking pictures and selling copper cuffs, bracelets, and earrings for my Dad. He is one talented man... There is not one thing that he can't do that I know of, I am a lucky girl!! You should check out some of his work at this link....

This is the reality of taking the pictures of the cuffs.

It can get a little messy. Horns, belts, leather, scarfs, camo, boots, and barnwood...

   Also we started calving 2 weeks ago. Its coming slowly, but the weather has been beautiful our way so no complaints from me. Actually I have never seen February this nice, and no snow. No snow for us is kind of a big deal.
   The calves are healthy so you can't not be happy about that!!

                         We also had a set of twins, both heifers but different colors as you can see.. Pretty neat!

Look at this cute little bugger.

Hi there, I am sorry for not keeping up on the blog lately...

 

 

For starters I didn't end up going back to school this year. I have decided to stay home and

work on the ranch, helping out my uncle. I am proud of my decision and my heart is happy where

it's at. I wasn't happy at school and I feel sooo much better now. Doing what I LOVE!!

 

The New Year has already brought many good things. One of my cousins got married on New Years Eve and so we have added a new member to the Fleming Family! :)

 

My oldest brother just got a new puppy:)

 

My best friend AVA ELISABETH came to visit me over her break. I am soo lucky to have

that girl in my life she is one in a million and I know she would do anything for me as I would

for her. She is an amazing woman. A great horsewoman and sooo much more. I miss riding and roping with her, but distance doesn't stop us.

For myself I have just been feeding cows, Cross Country Skiing and staying warm :) I have also finding some side jobs while its slow. I was riding some coming 2 year old thoroughbreds. RACE HORSES!!

They were a lot of fun, its hard not to get attached to them, but it was a good experience for me because I haven't been around to many thoroughbreds. Let me tell ya they were fun, and huge! They made their way down to AZ for the winter and will start racing.

Be Kind. Work Hard. Stay Humble. Smile Often it keeps you young. Be honest. Never stop learning. Love what you do. Life's too short for ugly cowboys and slow horses
