Jan 5/2023. A rainy morning on the ranch. Gathered all our old worn out boots I’ve been saving for 10 years to do a fun little project in my shop. (Some have already been passed down and resoled – lots of memories in these boots!) Maisie made pancakes for her sisters for breakfast. We were all scrambling to get things wrapped up on the ranch for our faithful caretaking team to take over for the weekend so we can rodeo. Neighbor Tim sent me a photo from their arena on the other side of the river showing a vivid rainbow ending smack dab in our arena (with his flip phone!) Rainy drive to Red Bluff but so nice to see Shasta Lake more full than it’s been in a long time. Mexican restaurant for dinner with lots of rodeo friends and Oma. Campfire outside the trailers enjoying company until midnight. 🔥 And made me smile to get a sweet text from Miles mom @weekleyj in the beautiful hat @ojannie thoughtfully knit for her. Always remembering Miles. 💫 #m5yearinphotos #january2023 #m5jan523
