This summer of 2006 has put most of South Dakota in a major drought.  
So the rain storms have been few and far between,  
but nothing is prettier than a double rainbow.

  This is Percy O'Lena,  better known as Mona.  She is my daughter Rylee's horse. As you can see, they have a very special bond.

Smokie passed away last week, we are guessing it was an unknown heart issue.  He will be remembered forever!

My Husband Ryan is a man of many talents.  He is a custom woodworker, an auto and trailer dealer and mechanic, the household handyman,  an Amsoil synthetics dealer, a Drag racer and just plain Daddy. 

Here is my work partner,  Sprite.  We got this little mini Aussie out of NE.  She is as pretty as a picture with a personality to die for.  She is growing some...but she will always be just a little "Sprite" of a dog!

Sprite is 4 years old now and has maintained her place in our hearts.  She even tried to help work cattle the other day...big dog in a little body.  Her favorite past time around the ranch is to herd the big dogs!

This is my young horse Kitty (My Shelia Sugar).
