Ruthie's Corner

A manic Monday, I am sure that is a fitting description for today! Recent storms have brought in some much-needed moisture for us but also have created a lag in people coming up the hill. I can’t say I blame them I am not a fan of driving in a snow storm either.Planning for the evening events and trying to plan for the week ahead is next on the agenda! As spring is heating up (or showing it still snows up here) I am preparing for an active month of April in both real estate and ranching! Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! 

What a beautiful Saturday!!! The storm has blown over and the sun is out the birds are chirping it doesn’t get any better than this! Going to enjoy the day and the people in it! Hope you all have a great Saturday!

Snow day in the mountains! It’s a snowy mess up here today! While Victor doesn’t have the totals yet that the rest of the county does, we have the wind for sure! Glad to see the moisture that is for sure but if traveling in the area please use caution when traveling. Check local road cameras or reports before traveling!

A beautiful Thursday Morning here at 9494 Ft! Gotta love the mountain air before a storm blows in! Waiting to see if much comes out of this storm, Not sure if we are in for a blizzard or a dusting... Gotta love Colorado weather! However, we have everything prepared in case it is a big one so feeding the cattle will be done with ease, I can work from the house and by the fire place so I don't have to try and drive with the snow plows. Over all I am more excited to get some moisture in the ground! We need it fire dangers are high here and there have been a few small fires already this year. With the warmer months coming I am hoping that the people who come to enjoy our little slice of heaven are smart about fires and we avoid another big one. Hope everyone has a wonderful day today! If you are expecting a storm, hope you stay warm and safe! 

Today, while a normal Wednesday in many ways is also bittersweet. Yesterday we loaded up a bull that was a bit too dangerous to have on the ranch.  He would get on the fight almost anytime you had to deal with him. I will not miss being chased over the fence that is for sure but it is still sad to see him go. A few months back he ran over my fiancé and that was the last straw. So after months of eluding capture he was caught and yesterday hauled off to his fate. Why I say it is bittersweet, I love my cows and I hate to loose a wonderful bull who did give me good calves, but I am looking forward the check I will get in the mail tomorrow! That will really help with wedding planning and fixing my truck! Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! (picture is not of the bull I sold but of one of my favorite bulls  Ferdinand!)
