What did you do this past weekend? Us – we attended the Farmfair International. Just in time to kick off the CFR week. Farmfair International Horse Ranch Competition and Stock Dog Competition.

Farmfair International is a great time. You get to stay warm, which is pretty…

Photos: First Snow 2013
First snow 2013 looks like winter is here…and I think it’s here to stay! Two days ago the grass was green and the sun was shining. Then 15 cm, or 6 inches dumped down on us. The dogs love the fluffy white stuff. First Snow 2013 Here’s Lily running no the paths though the weighed down trees. Such a little rascal, this one – she eats her body weight in snow each year. I mean, it’s like she thinks it’s a snack or a treat.…

Photos: Wedding Day
Wedding Day Just a few shots from our wedding day! First – all of these photos are credit to Mark Cooper Photography out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. All of the photos on my blog are mine and this is the first time I’m sharing…Mark does fabulous work and he gets all this credit! We were lucky, too, in that Mark came with an assistant. The best part is that Bryce and his family had one photographer while I had Mark. A nice way to take…

Photos: Thanksgiving 2013
Happy Thanksgiving!! Even though it was yesterday…we’re a little late. This was the first time we (or I, rather) attempted to take some family photos. Thanksgiving 2013 Setting up – Lily is supervising. The tripod was a gift from a very kind old man who we purchased some tools off of – I highly recommend a tripod if you’re evening thinking of using your camera’s self timer. First shots – not too bad. Happy everything is in focus! Second shot (well, each shot took 10…

Two hot and happy pups – they bark at birds – keeps things interesting. No elk or bison sightings yet. Where are they? There he his – he was hiding in the bush. Whoo, so big. I’m nervous that they might charge us…don’t get too close! The…

Thursday Afternoon Cows
Thursday Afternoon Cows A few weeks ago I was driving into town when I noticed a little calf on the wrong side of the fence. He was scared. Mooing so loudly! His parents (or aunts and uncles) were mooing loudly, too – but in this, I’m going to charge at you, kind of way. In the end, we got the little guy back on the right side of the fence. These photos are of a much calmer group of cows – cows that aren’t mooing…

Two Dogs and a Wedding Dress
Two Dogs and a Wedding Dress Today is our two year anniversary and I want to do something special for my husband. About 3 weeks ago, our weimaraner, Bella, got sick, however, she’s okay now, or will be. When we though she might not make it, all I could think about was what if I forget her – all of her quirks, her expressions, her eyes. So, I took this opportunity to take some photos! She looks pretty happy, and Lily, well, she just looks…
