Meanwhile, back at the ranch: The pump
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-pump.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Friday, October 25, 2013. So the pump at the shed has been reliably pumping water for goodness knows how long. When you spend time at the big shed, you can hear it's whirr and whistle as it periodically turns itself on to re-pressurise. Of course, you can hear it when you turn on the tap too. It grinds along, while the water comes out of the tap with as much pressure as you want. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The horse and I.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: Garden tidy up
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2011/11/garden-tidy-up.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Saturday, November 12, 2011. For 2 years I pretty much haven't touched the garden. Before I found out I had cancer, a lot of things already weren't right, and I just didn't have the energy to jump in with the shearers and clippers. Then last year I was all chemo. Then this year has been all recovery from chemo. And in the meantime we've had two bumper seasons of rain. The garden grew, and grew and grew. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: The Cattle Yard
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2012/05/cattle-yard.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. The cattle yard site, before work commenced. (The logs in the background are not the building materials. They are left overs from the previous owners.). While the cows appear to be all ready for the winter, I cannot say the same for our cattle yard. We also played around with the concept of making a round yard double up as a cattle yard, but in the end we decided that wasn't as smart as it sounds. The current state of the cattle yard. The horse and I.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: Cows are not light footed
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2012/10/cows-are-not-light-footed.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Cows are not light footed. Well we've now had the darling cows for over one year, and my husband, who uses the purest language, summarised it "The horses are pussy-ie.cats compared to the cows! Because I've been too busy feeding the cows! And if you are thinking of an acre per cow you're kidding yourself. I am glad we have a dam, so at least we don't have to watch in horror how much they drink. October 17, 2012 at 10:56 AM. April 12, 2013 at 7:51 AM.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: Go West ... ern
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2011/11/go-west-ern.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Thursday, November 3, 2011. Go West . ern. Our pony club declared that they were having a "Western Day". The kids were going to experience everything Western - Western riding, videos of Western horses, etc. Of course, we were encouraged to dress up too. Two days - that's how long it took to buy the material (and tassles), surf the internet only to find that free patterns for chaps are hard to come by (but x-rated sites are not!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: The Barrista's Perspective
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2012/04/barristas-perspective.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. Every morning that I get into work, I put my things down at my desk, and promptly head back out again, downstairs, to get a coffee. The barrista sees me from a distance, and by the time I get to the counter, my coffee is work in progress. You see, the barrista doesn't know my name, but he knows that I have the same coffee every day . as do most of his patrons. So, when he spots me on the horizon he thinks "Ah, here comes 'small cappuccino'".

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: Two arenas
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2011/12/two-arenas.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Wednesday, December 21, 2011. My husband and I cannot agree on where the arena should go. You see, our land is undulating. Steep in some places. And the main hub of activity, the house, the shed and the driveway is up on top of the ridge. Initially we planned for the arena to go on top of the ridge too, next to the driveway. Opposite the shed. Or, how could I possibly let her ride alone in the arena (down in the amphetheatre)? Then of course, should I ever teach people at my...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: Still showering
http://prideranch.blogspot.com/2011/11/still-showering.html
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. I would just like post an update - I am still showering in the garden of the Gods. Yep, come around at the right time, and you'll see me starkers under the outside shower. (This almost happened to one workman! He should be so lucky .). I have actually found that showering on a warm, but windy, day to be the worst. Cold and windy was fine. But warm and windy . I don't know. Not my cup of tea I guess.
