What a snow season that was: I say WAS because we're hoping that the snow is all gone for the season. Those of us who made it through the season are stronger and our hearts are with the goats that didn't make it. Each passing has been logged in our chronicle of lessons learned. I …

We’re not the smartest ones on the ranch
Boots are lifesavers, especially if they're barn boots. It's wonderful being able to walk everywhere and do almost anything around the barn and not worry about something getting inside my shoe.

Guess I'll be venturing out tomorrow or later this afternoon. With that being said, it's been wonderful just hanging out with everyone. …

Who is GraNann?
It's every grand mother. In my case, it's a combination of Gran' and Nanny. GraNann. Doesn't that sound more exotic than Granny. Grand Mother would be acceptable but it's too long. I wanted something that would be easy to remember and short. My grandmothers were Mamaw and MaMa. Hummm ... .Did not want to be …
