"THE RAVEN
The Raven sat at my window sill,

"I was asked to send in two poems for the association to see so I picked these two. I guess they want to see if I am a cowboy or not. Let them try to herd black cows at night and see where they get. That is where I found that my horse could see…"

COWBOY’S CRY TOO
A Saturday night dance, a gangly young boy,
Tight pinching new boots, and slicked back hair,
A pretty young girl, with bright, smiling eyes,

Emotions kept checked, cause Cowboys don’t cry.
First child born, a bundle so dear,
My wife’s love, shown crystal clear,
The warmth and glow as new life begins,
Worry and pride and tears and mud pies,

A Face In The Dust
“A FACE IN THE DUST”
A young cowboy working the drag,

As the dust floated and swelled,
A cross was formed and the face of Christ appeared;
The young man stopped and stepped from his horse,

Looks toward heaven in to the loving face of God
The Lord reached out and gave His praise;
The herd had slowed, but did not mill,
The cowboy smiles, he now knows the… Continue

It does tend to get a bit chilly up here. We're smack up against the Canadian border and over four thousand feet altitude. This spring was especially cold: we had a major snow storm the last week in April, and four inches on the the 6th of June. That's extreme even for us.
My fellow outlaw is my husband, who is also the unwilling but good-humored subject of many of my blog posts. One thing about ranching, I never run out of good material!
