Wildrosebeef - Armchair Cattlewoman's BYH Journal

My opinion on the Bud Box : Meh, nothing special. :/ Neat idea though.

My comment about the winter right now: UGH! I wish it were sunny and melting, not cloudy and snowing!

Gotta be patient though....man I hate it when I have to force myself to think like that!

Gotta have a thick skin working on a wiki-type website...some kid decided to come on and give me a hard time about something I don't even remember doing or saying. He's got one strike left before he gets sent packing. Originally "he" was a she, and she was a heckuva lot nicer to me than the crap I got today. Weirdo...

Still waiting for spring here, a little warmer today than yesterday, but I just wish it would actually WARM up so the snow could go faster....

I think I found another job opportunity, it's with a agricultural research team a part of ARECA (Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta) where I get to perform and do different activities dealing with forages, silage, various grains and woot) cattle. They say, unlike my last job I went in an interview for, that students with an agricultural degree is prefered, but will consider those with less industry experience or something like that.

So, I'm going to do up a resume and test my luck with this one. Who knows? May get lucky this time.

Good luck! That sounds like a fascinating position.

Thanks, it certainly does. I also get to work with the small-plot farm machinery, which should be fun.

This warm weather sure makes the cats kooky. Yesterday I was walking to the house and Spider ran past me with his usual "purrrow!" whenever he goes by. Well I played a little trick on him and started running after him, he took a look behind his shoulder and started running even faster! Such a silly guy. He even gets to the point where he just jumps into the edge of a random snow bank with both paws and even head in the snow chasing after an invisible mouse, then when he catches my eye he dashes away.

Spider's the doofus. Muffy (or Button), she's a ruddy princess. All prim and proper, sitting there with her big fluffy paws together all lady-like and her lion-like muff fluffed up around her neck. Spider, he's just a down-right goof ball, seems like he's always looking for trouble. But muffy, she's the little trouble-maker too! I caught her twice chasing after her brother, once up the telephone pole (he didn't go very far), and the other down the lane. Usually Spider's the one chasing her, but not that time!

And they love it when I have a long piece of string for them to chase, be it a piece of grass stem, a vine (virgina creeper), or even a baler twine string. Spider'll even go chase after the snow balls I throw for him. Speaking of string, whenever we'd be feeding the calves sometimes a bale would have a long piece of twine trailing after it, and Mr. Numb Nuts Spider would be chasing it down trying to catch it! Of course he'd stop as soon as a steer caught sight of him and headed right for him lol.

Cats, always the entertainers.

Spring is here... :bun

I swear it is since we've been getting some NICE temps this week: all above freezing!! Hope this continues, I'm so sick of winter I could

Now I just gotta light a fire under my butt and get off the computer for a while today. Got a few things to do today, including sweeping out the quonset and helping mom start our Spring Cleaning.

I just can't wait til the snow goes so I can use my bike again.... <sigh>...........

 

[WildRoseBeef]

We had a couple of visitors come by this morning, so lucky I had my camera handy to take pictures.

Can you guess what they are?
