There are days that I think I got more than I bargained for. Facing the mountain of laundry today I realized it was another one of those moments! As a girl I always dreamed of getting swept off my feet by some amazing handsome cowboy and riding off into the sunset... How romantic an idea! Having married my cowboy of a highschool sweetheart I have found out a few more details about life on a ranch. If you're getting swept off your feet it's because your horse is too tall. I have to say I lucked out on the handsome cowboy part of this :) And riding off into the sunset (on a white horse of course). Oh yes... except.... You hardly ever catch a cowboy on a white horse (white feet= problems in the ranching society), and the sunset. It would only ever be a sunset if the pick up broke down and he was making you ride to town for dinner. Or the cows got out. You wouldn't want to be riding into the sunset for either one! So it's more like the crack of dawn! Oh ranch life. I have learned to love it! And what better place to raise two beautiful bouncing girls then on 60,000 acres in the middle of Montana. Elk, deer, bears, ground hogs, eagles, and all sorts of other beautiful creatures. Most (like the bears, and badgers and mountain lions) we try to avoid, but the view from the pick up window while putting out salt is exceptional!
