Favorite Thing in the World???

I spent the last week at my cousins helping my uncle out with some ranch work, going on cattle drives, and helping my aunt with her yard, oh and cleaning an apartment. Guess which one's my favorite!

It might sound weird, but I just LOVE the hot and dusty trail...

the spontaneous rain showers and thunderstorms
(or lack thereof)...

the mountains to climb...

the magnificent views from the top...

the satisfaction of a hard day's work...

the squished food and warm water...

the stubborn cows that don't go where they're supposed to...

breaking into top speed to chase down a run away cow...

wooping and hollering to get the cows moving...

and even the smell in the air.

No doubt about it. Anytime I get to jump on a horse and go on a cattle drive, I'll always leave with an unstoppable smile on my face. I wish I had pictures to show you, but alas, I do not. Sorry. Maybe next time...maybe.
