Scenes from the Ranch: June 2, 2023

Time for our Scenes from the Ranch. On this soggy Friday we have gotten three inches of rain! And I thought it was green already.

Chicks! On Sunday 14 healthy chicks hatched in the barnyard. The two broody hens were Arcana chickens that are proving to be good, protective mamas.

After a couple days of bottle-feeding, Hot Lips’ calf quickly took to Bossie, our friends’ Holstein cross. She is a champ. I am so grateful for good cows and good friends.

Did I mention it is green as far as the eye can see?

Down by the river, Jack and I admired the blooming choke cherries while Bart checked on the irrigation pump. The weather has been truly delightful lately. Everything is in bloom!

I live in Montana with my husband Bart. I enjoy taking care of the animals on the ranch and exploring the prairie with my dogs, my binoculars, and a reverence for the natural world.
