Four kids in a small house, no matter how tired they may be, will all wake each other up.
Rain coming in through an inner wall of the house isn’t a good thing and probably means we should have already fixed the roof.
It’s good to look in the attic of an old house .. and see if for some reason you might need more (or any) insulation.
There’s a beautiful, huge greenhouse that I will gravitate toward often out in the middle of nowhere, South Dakota. Because I love to garden. And their stock rocks.
The Cowboy gets stressed if too many projects seem started but not finished.
Leaving a margarita out on the table with small thirsty children around probably isn’t the best idea.
Margaritas can be a good idea though and a good solution for too much stress.
I am quick to be on a horse called “I’ll have another”.
A blind pony is best led back into a pasture past the snapping electric fence before the lead rope comes off.
An electric fence that isn’t connected all the way around, may or may not be live. But if it was, there is one tough little 1 year old in our midst.
And, proposals in the rain .. in the midst of chores .. with hands full of dirt and in front of an audience of little people .. can be beautiful.
It has been a beautiful Saturday.
Conversations With a Cowboy 
Proposal? Do tell….inquiring minds want to know!
It was a great proposal .. all around. Power point presentation, large crowd, great mission statement .. I signed up.
Lovely Saturday! Sounds strikingly familiar to many weekends I’ve had before – when you take a long look at the average days, they always seem to be the best ones 🙂
This is a comment to the webmaster. I discovered your “Lessons Learned on a Rainy Saturday .. | Conversations With a Cowboy” page via Google but it was difficult to find as you were not on the front page of search results. I see you could have more visitors because there are not many comments on your site yet. I have found a website which offers to dramatically increase your rankings and traffic to your website: http://www.linklegends.com/free-trial. I managed to get close to 1000 visitors/day using their services, you could also get lot more targeted traffic from search engines than you have now. Their free trial and brought significantly more traffic to my website. Hope this helps 🙂 Take care.
Annette, thank you so much for the insight and helpful advice. I’ve not wanted to do anything big with this in the past, just journal and have it as a record for my daughter/our kids/family. But perhaps that is something I will now consider at this stage of the blog, my life, career and why the heck not. Thanks so much again for finding me and stopping in!
