This Week’s Story: Orphan No More
I felt his eyes watching me before I spotted him. I quit fumbling with the padlock on the gate and looked into the brush along the valley bottom. Then, I heard the plaintive voice of a calf–by the sound, a few months old–emanating from the willows about 100 feet away……

At the beginning of the week here at Tendoy we had a violent hailstorm that shredded much of our garden prompting an early squash harvest. The cows weathered the storm well bunching up for protection with their backs to the wind. Photo credit Rebecca Rains.

I drove the highway from Salmon to Challis this week and have a new appreciation for what it takes to get the cattle from your ranch across the bridge to the summer grazing.
It is a bit of a journey, but the end result is definitely worth it!
I see my favorite winter squash! Yum-Oh!
Glad the new freezer’s coming along; very nice.
Thanks, Cindy!
