When it's not Monday, these have been my tools of the trade these past few weeks:
But for a few minutes on Friday and after the boys ate dinner on Saturday, I shucked my apron, set aside my rolling pin and picked up my camera.
I am still sorting through shots from past years for a wall of photos in my mudroom/entry way and I wanted to include one of two from this year. On the day I escaped from the kitchen for a few minutes, the crew had gathered the pasture with the bulls. These photos are from 2 different days so in some of the photos you see Corriente bulls and in others you see Angus bulls. They work them easy and the bulls get strung out - these are only a few of them:
It makes me sad that this old tree was struck by lightening, but I still think it looks neat in a photo:
The boys hold the bulls up
And keep them from making a run for it
As DH assesses them
And sorts them
And when the crew gets together, there is always time for another story. If you enlarge this photo, you will see DH is laughing at something Richard is telling him.
I'm sure the boys get tired of me pointing my camera at them, but they put up with me because they are unfailingly kind to the cook:

You are such a good cook, but your photography is spot on, too. Great pics of the guys at work!
Loved your pictures! That last one is going to make a nice print! I think the one of the three of them (where your husband is laughing) is so good too. I bet they would smile every time they saw that one! You lead a very busy life....but it's a nice busy! Thank you for sharing your pictures!
What a great photo of your DH!! looks like a lot of work and obviously everyone knows what they are doing especially you for keeping up with all of them!! wonderful pictures and great cooking, and sewing, you are amazing!! take care from Iowa
Your pictures always tell the story. You should do a book for all of us who don't live/see this life. Totally interesting and told with the camera.
Great photos. It looks like your DH's back has healed and that he's comfortable astride a horse again.
I understand what you mean about the writing! Your job sounds super-intense! Great photos ... I do love the vicarious living through your photos viewing! :)
Great shots of the guys at work. You are just as good at shooting action shots as you are in the kitchen. I know your DH is glad he met such a wonderful women. You two are perfect for each other, I can tell. It looks like it must have been a warmer day there when you took these pictures than it is today. It would be Brrr out riding the horses today.
Well you've out done yourself again! Fantastic pictures! Looks like you had a very large herd of bulls to cut out. Are they going to market or for breeding in other herds?
Love seeing the action shots. Yeh, I'd say that one is worthy of being an 8x10. But I'll have to say.... I don't know how you do it all. You are amazing.
