Branded

Getting a Wyoming brand is not easy.  I made several attempts before, finally, the letter of acceptance arrived.  Idaho approved the same brand which we were simply ecstatic about!  Essentially, it is a K with a M on its side, facing the K.  Some call it "K lazy M" brand (which certainly does not fit the "M" part of this team!) and others call it the "KiM" brand.  Either way, it's our brand and even though there aren't thousands of cattle roaming around the plains with this brand on their right rear hip, hey, we've got a brand!

Mike has been learning how to use the ranch's plasma cutter.  This along with his welding skills have produced some awesome brands for the Freedom place.  It is now branded!  At the front driveway, the below hangs, swinging slightly in the breeze.

Hanging off the east porch, this heavy piece of metal frames the hanger.

 

And here, on the side of the old wood barn.

 



This last weekend, I sunk my mind into learning about bees while reading Beekeeping for Dummies which is a very thorough and good start to the current hottest backyard hobby.  Before I jump in too far, it seems prudent to find out if I am allergic to the things as getting stung is inevitable.  Appointment is made for a blood test next week.  More to come!  Might be honey in your next year's holiday gift!!

Mike and I watched the big lunar event this morning from the hot tub - a perfect viewing location!  Hope many of you got to watch this unique event.
