Saturday, we said goodbye to a great fisherman Bob Schupman at a wonderful celebration of life ceremony in a room filled with family, friends, and fishing buddies. Bob died way too soon and will be missed.
Dinner with friends that night - a menu that would make any local restaurant envious. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the meal. Crabapple salad dressing - a recipe I invented - was really delicious. Topped off the dinner with Janet's rhubarb raspberry crisp. Good friends, good food, good wine.
Sunday found us atop our trusty mules moving cattle from the north pasture (11 wolves were seen early morning eating off a cow they killed from the herd earlier that week) to the ranch. It's a plus-ten mile ride down the road complete with all kinds of new things for the mule you might be riding. Parked cars, Beer cans on the edge of the road. Flapping flags. A whole bunch of new horses around and cars behind. Dogs zipping here and there, keeping the cows moving. I was holding on to the reigns too tightly to get a picture!! Ruby and Smoke did great biting cows. Ruby suffered a minor whacking above her eye. The whole gang had lunch and visited, telling tall stories afterward.
Fall weather and rain brighten this year's fall colors. The week ahead looks somewhat sane, but it is a 911 world; could change any moment.
