Friday laugh

Posted on July 15, 2016 by Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Because it’s Friday and we could all use a good belly laugh.

This girl will show you how it’s done.

Have a happy weekend! We’re heading off to play some music…

And eat some puffs…

A photo of a different season, in case we start to forget. It’s always hard to believe in the middle of summer that it could ever get this cold and white. And it’s hard to remember today that it will be green and pink again someday. 🥶🌸 #summerflowers #wildflowers #rurallandscape #coneflower #echinaceaflower #northdakota #ndlegendary

Here’s a picture of us during one of the first few years we were married and home at the ranch. Today was one of those days I wouldn’t want to do over. January up north is long and cold and puts me in a rough mental space, no matter how good things seem to be going. It happens that today did not go well. Mothering is no joke, especially in cooped up houses full of runny noses and short on patience. I joked that if I were to write a song about motherhood today it would be one where the mom changes her name and starts a new life in Florida or something and then I would sing it to live vicariously through that character to get me through days like these. But I don’t need a song like that. I really just need to remember why I love this man and that we’re doing what we came here to do ... and then laugh as my youngest daughter puts the carrots aside so she can lick the ranch dressing directly off of her plate while her sister demands for me to “pause the music” so she can make the third (of what will be four) costume changes before the song is over. And then pour a glass of wine I will never finish and try again tomorrow. #motherhood #parenting #ranchlife #inthetrenches #pickingrocksandraisingbabies #workgirl #marriage #ruralliving #horses #loveandmarriageandkids

One of my favorite relics on the ranch, Grampa’s old International. Winter, were deep in it out here. #oldinternational #oldpickup #winter #ndlegendary #upnorth #antique #antiauecars #ruralliving

In a few weeks I'll be heading to the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV to share the stories and songs I've been cultivating on this place since I was a young girl. What does it mean to be a cowboy? I close my eyes and see my great grandpa Eddie who homesteaded this place when he was only 21, and the rest is history I walk past every day. Proud to be a part of his legacy and proud to sing about it from the plains to the desert. #nationalcowboypoetrygathering @westernfolklife #jessieveedermusic #fromthearchives #cowboy #oldphotos #blackandwhite #ndlegendary #elkonevada

My tiny bosses and I checking out our new cows. I decided to pull them in the sled up and then down to the corrals and regretted my decision, per usual, about half-way when there’s no turning back. The wind about took us, and I abandoned both sleds along the way, but we found a warm spot to sit and watch and ask a thousand questions. Happy Monday. Moo. #ranchkids #ranchlife #momlife #countrykids #winterkids
