View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CwBlZILPkds/ The post End of summer feels hit like a ton of bricks up here with the end of fair and fire season clashing together. Camp dinners and clear sky sunsets are cherished all summer and sometimes into fall – but this week we are battening down the hatches watching the wild fires carefully, hoping the smokey skies clear and that new lightning strikes don’t bring new fires. But oh those summer nights.✨ ? @kathryngamblephoto for @food52 appeared first on Daily Life at Five Marys ..read more

View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/Cv7wmKjJymm/ The post Siskiyou Golden Fair was a good one! The girls worked hard, got to perform in front of their community at the fair rodeo as flag carriers and barrel racers and breakaway ropers, sold their steers (thanks @passalacquawinery, @finleyfarming & @shasta_livestock & Lassen County Nursery!

View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/Cv2Yf9OLWqf/ The post Fair week is the only week all year we have to divide and conquer. I live at the fairgrounds day and night with the girls and their steers Tuesday through Sunday. They do all the fair work – cleaning barns and feeding steers and getting ready for the show ring – but I like being here as camp chef and to support the girls and their friends. But it’s too close to our calving season with lots to do on the ranch so Brian comes back and forth for the girls events (it’s only a 30 min drive). In addition to keeping the ranch and businesse ..read more

View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CvvJcOtSgHc/ The post LIFE UPDATE! ✨ This summer has been full of cooking outdoors at camp and the new arena kitchen, watching the girls improve so much in the roping arena, on the road for rodeos and family gatherings, filming fun new projects and meeting new people and trying to keep the gears all turning in between. We are at our county fair this week which always signals the tail end of our summer… Next year, the girls are each doing something a little different for schooling. We are lucky to have so many options to change things up based on what is ..read more

View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CvbAb6_pbj_/ The post Fitting’ in lots of ranch work, irrigation pipe digging, steer working, cattle sorting, pig moving, horse riding work between summer rodeo days. It’s not easy to juggle both especially with the high standards Brian has for the care and keeping of every animal on this ranch – but we work hard at home and have two great ranch hands, Trevor and Ryan, who keep things going for us when we aren’t here. Teamwork makes it all happen (and teamwork pulls together when things don’t go as planned which is very frequently in ranching!) ♥️ #five ..read more

View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CvSZZEGL7sY/ The post It’s our local July rodeo in Etna today and the girls are competing in most of the events between the slack this morning and the big performance tonight. It’s always fun to rodeo right on our home turf… and not have to drive miles and miles to get here! These photos were from a practice night at our local rodeo grounds when @christarenee was visiting. She always captures the magic… and the spiciness of that littlest sister keeping up with the big girls! appeared first on Daily Life at Five Marys ..read more

Until next year! ✨✨✨✨✨ appeared first on Daily Life at Five Marys ..read more
