2014, it was a very normal year

Welcome to the fourth annual 7MSN Ranch video year in review, 
a tradition that began in 2011 and has lived on.
I piece together one photo from every blog post from the past year, find an appropriate song
that will get by the copyright police, then turn all of it into a video to share here.

2014 was the year we said good-bye to Wynonna and hello to Junior.
It was also the year of lots of rain, too much grass, and grazing muzzles.
Mercifully, there was precious little drama; sadly, there were no donkey playdates. 

The music for the 2014 video is simple and kind of repetitive, much like the year itself.
It makes me want to take piano lessons. 

We hope you will enjoy the show. 



 Here are links to previous year-end videos, if you'd like to watch everybody grow old.

  1. Hello to Junior? (Wondering who on earth is Junior) did I miss something?

    1. Junior was the pronghorn antelope whose mother died. She brought him on to the property and stayed for a very long time. Good access to water and an assumption that there was a bit of protection from coyotes since they were so close to the house. :)

  5. No donkey playdates is a sucky thing. However, no drama is a good thing.
    I love your ingenuity when tackling things that are just out of reach (ie: garage door opener). Having tall Paul (and Danni) there to help with the jury-rigging made it all the sweeter.

  12. Bravo!!! A wonderful recap, as always, and I loved the transition in the music! We smiled through the whole video, exclaiming along the way at so many delightful and beautiful pictures.

  19. Such a beautiful year at the 7MSN. Among the highlights I will remember, tall grass waving in the pasture - and grazing muzzles galore. Thank you for this year in review video. Chickens grow so fast. All the residents are so photogenic, including Junior.

  23. A wonderful way to summarize the year - the images brought back the stories, made me smile and laugh and sometimes shed a tear. May 2015 be another good year - and wouldn't it be nice if you found some donkey friends nearby who want playdates?

  26. Here it is Sunday morning -- 1-4-15 and your last post was on 12/31/14 ... are you OK or sick with the flu or some other terrible ailment? Or ... you're just taking a few more days off from posting!! Anyway ... lack of new stuff gives me cause for concern!! Hugs from CO ... Marcia

  27. Me too Marcia! Physically, you are alone on the ranch if you fall or get sick.... which makes all of us "cyber-roomies" worry 'bout cha!!
