About This Blog

My photo
I have loved things Country and Western all of my life. I have loved the ranches and farms, the work, the fields, the barns, livestock, and the food. I was born and raised in Kentucky where I learned to ride and care for horses. Most of my family lived on farms and/or were livestock producers. I have raised various livestock and poultry over the years.I have sold livestock feed and minerals in two states. My big hats and boots are only an outward manifestation of the country life I hold dear to my heart. With the help of rhyme or short story, in recipes or photos, I make an effort in this blog to put into words my day to day observations of all things rural; the things that I see and hear, from under my hat. All poems and short stories, unless noted otherwise, are authored by me. I hope you enjoy following along.

Joys Of Ranching

Muckin stalls
Pitchin hay
Washin walls
Vets to pay

Tractor tires
Farrier bills
Grass growed up
To the window sills

Breakin horses
Achin back
Kids new shoes,
Saddle and tack

Bones are hollerin
In the cold
Doc says
I'm just gettin old

Hired hand's grumblin
So's my wife
Oh, the joys
Of a Ranchers life.
