They're Baaaaack!

They're Baaaack!
Both of them!
The gophers and the Yuppies.









Well the west coast yuppie rich friends are back in Montana! They spend boatloads of money flying out to Great Falls and renting a mini-van or truck to visit our ranch to shoot gophers every year. They spend all day at it too.

The gopher terrorists....their guns are high powered and have scopes....so you can imagine just what that does to bulls-eye gopher, a synonym for exploding gophers? I don't know.

I do know I don't like the fact I have so many my prime pastures look like the ground is moving in the morning and the pasture grass I seeded last year isn't getting a chance to grow because of them. So west coast yuppie rich friends...have at it! Enjoy.

That which tickles some turkeys is an onerous chore to others. I need a few more west coast yuppie rich friends and maybe I'd have perfect pastures and fat sheep.

Someone Had An Awful Lot Of Time On Their Hands

As my friend Jeff Adams puts it, "Even if I bought one of these, I wouldn't be able to find ammo for it...ha ha."

Me, I just peel myself off the ceiling laughing like a loon. Boy, do I love human creativity....my question: Is it operational? Say yes, please. I wanna see it work. Cy

(five days later the owner blew his two story barn to into smithereens, testing it, because he needed a new one anyway and he didn't feel like taking it apart board-by-board......just joking, of course, its a man's grill of the bbq variety.)

It's Garden Craze Time

Spring has finally rolled into Central Montana after a final winter blast that laid three feet of heavy snow across the land. In my hand rattle my seed packets itching to slip into the cool soil where nature and germination create their yearly miracle.

I've blue corn to plant this year but that will have to wait one more month....after the holiday, around the first of June. Right now it is endless rounds of potatoes into the ground. The soil has been dormant all winter under a thick layer of compost.

At the end of the growing year the barns are cleaned and all the old footing goes to the garden to refurbish the soil over the winter months. The soil underneath stays loose and airy aided by earthworms and other microorganisms.

Today I added something new, raspberries and blackberries...they come as inauspicous looking twigs tied to a support pole of bamboo stuck into a pot of soil....a 1x1 hole in the ground and firmed soil around the wood-be plant an it is ready to begin its future. I've a nice straight row of them now...only thing left to do is water and wait....

There is a spiritual affirmation to working with the elements of soil, sun, water, and seed. It is true that when you focus on the individual plants over their growth that they seem to grow greener, healthier, and tastier. I know this because one year I experimented with it. The ones I left to fend for themselves seemed a poor shadow of the ones given the greater attention.

This year is going to be a year of expansion....I'm going to grow the garden itself by a few think....musing this over daily is becoming a hobby. Like furnature in the house, constantly rearranging the mental picture of what I want where, and what I'm hoping it to look like in full bloom. I think I've moved the onions two dozen times already...when I seed them at last then I shall be satisfied per force.
