This week's assignment: Starts with R, Favorite, and Rustic.
Starts with R: RIDER starts with R. This RANCHER is RIDING along the fence to make sure no REPAIRS are needed.
Rustic: This bell would be considered RUSTIC. It is located in Tishomingo, OK at the Chickasaw capitol building.
"About 1859, the Chickasaw government purchased an iron bell to be hung in the first Chickasaw capitol building. It was used to summon tribal members to special meetings and to signal emergencies in the community. Depending on the type of ring made by the appointed toller, the community would know whether it was a meeting or a death. Chickasaw people within ear shot would stop their daily activities and travel to the capitol to hear vital information that affected their lives."

Reba looks to me like a nice horse, contented. Pretty too. Riding the fences is a necessity on large ranches. Some of ours, maybe 20 acres, were fenced both for cattle and for hogs. Pig fencing is wire rectangular mesh almost two feet high with cattle barbs and electric wires above. The neighbor's pigs would often root underneath into our pastures. Oklahoma may not have so many hogs? We were in the eastern Nebraska hills.

Not many hogs around here, except the feral variety. :)
