And you to protect them. Sounds like you have an understanding and a bond.

This has absolutely nothing to do with cowboy gear. Rather it comments on the resting does and short life.

I've been reading a book of haiku poetry. They are very short poems, but also very rich in helping the reader to see tranquillity and beauty. Henry David Thoreau expressed much the same in his prose writings, particularly the time he lived "Walden." Your notes below, RR, touch on two poems I read yesterday. Bringing the thoughts together was enjoyable....

To give proper ownership credit.
The two poems were compiled in the 1967 book titled Silent Flowers by Dorothy Price, Editor.
The poet's name follows each poem.

Calm days,
The swift years
Forgotten.

There are 2 doe's with babies that live in the thick bush behind our home. Right now they are all sleeping in our front yard. The yard is surrounded by 12 foot high lilac bush so they feel very safe there every year. They catch the morning and afternoon shade. Even the little ones are starting to just ignore me when I am walking around the place doing my chores or yard work. Pretty good life for them, water in the pens, salt lick, tons of green stuff to eat this summer.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Have not posted any gear for awhile, here is a real neat little pouch from October Country that I use quite a bit now. Handy as heck for anything you need to carry. I have a leather bag behind the seat of my saddle that I carry some repair items in (strips of leather, a couple of clips, a flint, little coffee thermos, etc). But this belt pouch is great for jerky, cell phone for photos, etc. Really well made. Cartridge belt, 45 Colt ammo on it, pouch on the right, cross draw knife on the left and you are ready for a long day in the saddle!
