Jose's Cattle Drive

On Sunday Jose went on a cattle drive to help my uncle move his cows about 12-14 miles back to the ranch from the field where they have been kept since October. When they started at about 10:45 in the morning it was only 6 degrees and it wasn't above 10 degrees when they got done at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Here is a picture of Jose just after they got back from the cattle drive. He looks absolutely freezing, but he said that the only thing that got cold was his hands because they weren't moving that much. It's hard to believe that Jose has turned into a cowboy!! He would rather spend his time on horseback than do anything else.
This is Jose & my cousin Derek on their horses after the cattle drive. My uncle put my cousin in the lead because it was really foggy and with his bright coat he said that they definitely wouldn't get lost!!

Jose had a blast on the cattle drive and can't wait until its time to do it again! My uncle is wanting to preg test the cows, but said that it had to be the coldest day of the year because he didn't want the guys thinking he was getting soft and have them do it on a day that was above freezing. When they moved the cows in October it was a blizzard and then on Sunday it never got above 10 degrees!

Glad he liked it... :) I think it's necessary that we find what we like and take time to do it. I think after we become married, or parents etc. The necessities of life sometimes distract us from what we love and we have to reacquaint ourselves with those hobbies and with ourselves. It's refreshing and necessary to enjoy our life.
