Well, off we go into the blogoshpere. I was undecided on the name of my blog. "Blog of a Cowgirl" is a take-off of the book, "The Log of a Cowboy", by Andy Adams, which was first published in 1903. While I'm a cowgirl, and always will be, as I mature (that's the polite way of saying I'm getting older) I enjoy identifying myself as being a ranchwife. I like to say, "Think of a housewife with a husband and three children, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, plus thousands of acres, a couple hundred head of cattle, several horses, some chickens...." Well, you get the idea.
So, I chose the name, Reminiscenses of a RANCHWIFE, as a take-off of the book, "Reminiscenses of a RANCHMAN", by Edgar Beecher Bronson, written sometime around 1910 as near as I can tell. Bronson came from "back east" and paid his dues as a "greenhorn" and finally settled on a ranch near the North Platte River, a little down-river from where we are now located. The similarities are close enough for me to snatch his title for my own. No, I'm not from "back-east" but I wasn't ranch raised and have now made better than a down-payment on the dues owed to attain the title of RANCHWIFE.
This is all fine and dandy... but I may loose my title if I don't get out and help my beloved husband gather the heifers!

It's hard to have fun in a place like this... but we try!

Welcome to the blogsphere! Good to have you here!
I am sure you will develop a loyal following as I have been wondering for some time if we might be able to follow your life on the ranch.
If I knew how, I would send you some Cyber-Chocolate! So consider yourself presented with a box of dark organic chocolate!
Looking forward to reading much more and enjoying the beautiful pictures.
