Desert Boy decided to take a trip. Only he headed out without me or his Daddy. Fortunately he had his faithful sidekick Henry with him. Where did Desert Boy want to go? To the cows. Where else?
As I zoomed in on Desert Boy, I noticed he was carrying something in each hand--a white shoe in his left hand a pencil in his right hand. Useful things to have when you head out for a hike through the pasture.
I think Desert Boy would have kept going, but I called him back. He took a few more steps...
...but eventually turned around and started coming back.
He still had the pencil and shoe in his hand. This grass is dry so it isn't exactly soft. He didn't seem to care.
In the meantime, the cows kept grazing in the background. They didn't even know that a little guy wanted to visit them.

You may need to put GPS on him! At least he left home prepared. Wonder what he dropped on the way. gs
Hi! I'm Gretchen, an ecologist, rancher's wife, mother, writer, and dreamer. I've lived and worked in three of the four North American deserts and visited the fourth. This blog is about what it's like to live in the rural high desert on a ranch, spending lots of time outdoors with kids, and our journey to live more sustainably. To learn more about the area, click here. If you'd like to contact me, leave a comment (I love comments!) or email me at desertsurvivor @ live.com.

One can certainly tell he is YOUR son, wanderlust and all….
It’s an adventure everyday at your house….
Have a beautiful day!!

He was merely trying to help the ranch by "branding" the cattle
"Dances with cows", or the "Cow whisper", either way, Desert Boy is destined to be a real cowboy. How cool is that?!
"Boy with one white shoe."
"Pencil is mightier than the butcher's cleaver."
Lost? Not really. He just wanted to have a cow autograph his shoe.
UP
Was he taking along a spare shoe, or was he walking around with only one shoe on?
