North Dakota in my rearview
Oh the stories I could tell you, but more travels mean you’ll have to wait…
There were early mornings,
and bright eyes,
sunrises
and sunsets.
There were times to observe from afar, 
and times to get personal.
There were horses
and there were helpers.
There was rain
and there was chill.
But oh the fun we had.
There were bulls
and there were babies.
There were restauranteurs
and there were ranchers.
There was steak
and it was good.
Can’t wait to tell you all about it.
Stay tuned!
