buying the supplies we needed to make them.   I appreciate that.”
               “I
know you all do.   The men looked happy this
morning and were working when I got out here.   The barn is all cleaned out, fresh straw down for the horses, and Corky
and Truman will be bringing back grain and feed for the horses too.   I also told them to buy some chickens and
the feed for them too.
               “Thank
you.   It will be nice to collect my own
eggs again.   I missed that.”
               “I’ll
get a few hogs too.   Scuffy said a
rancher not far from here raises them and has plenty to sell.   That way we can have our own pork too.”
               “For
a city boy, you sure do know a lot about ranching.”
               “Scuffy’s
been educating me on what’s needed to make the ranch prosperous and self
sufficient.”
               “I’ll
teach you all I know.   We need to get a
place dug up for the garden too, Mindy.   The men are going to bring back seeds and plants.   We’ll only be a couple weeks behind time,
but everything should grow good even if planted late.   You want the garden up behind the house where your pa always had
it?”
               “Yes.   I can’t wait to see things start growing
again,” she said, when Brett reached over and took hold of her hand.
               “I
also told the men to get your some flower bulbs and seeds too for around the
porch.   I noticed some tulips blooming
when we arrived yesterday.   I like
flowers.”
               “Pa
did too.   Most men don’t cotton to those
things, but I’m happy you do.”
               “If
there is anything you want to fix up the house or around it, all you have to do
is tell me.”
               Mindy
shook her head.   “I think we have a lot
of planting and work to do for now.”
               “That’s
true, but you come first.”
               “Me?”   She stared at him.
               “Yes.   You are my wife and I want you to be happy
and have things that make you happy.”
               “Thank
you, Brett.   It seems you have made our
lives better in one day.   Even the men
are working now.”
               “I
think Web was the culprit there.   I
think he bullied the men and threatened them to do what he told them to.   With him gone, the men are pretty easy to
get along with.”
               “That’s
good,” she said, when she heard a commotion outside and a shrill whistle that
rent the air.   “What in the world?”   She pushed her chair back and stood, as did
Brett and Scuffy.
               “That’s
Brace.   I’d know that whistle
anywhere.   Come on, I want you to meet
him.”
               Mindy
let Brett pull her along outside and up to Brace who sat tall in the
saddle.   Her mouth fell open at the
sight.   His thick, jet, black hair was
shoulder length, his handsome face was tanned and he had crow’s feet at the
corner of his silver eyes.   He was broad
of shoulder and his arms strained against the material of his white shirt.
               Brett
grinned.   “Get down off that horse and
meet my wife.”
               Mindy
watched the man dismount and walk the few steps to stand in front of her.   She had to raise her head to stare up at
him.   He took off his hat and bowed.
               “It’s
nice to meet you, Mrs. Connors.”
               “It’s
nice to meet you too.   Would you like to
come up to the house and have cake and coffee?”
               “I
would like that.   My men can carry
Brett’s luggage into the house and put it where you want it too.   Also, I have a wedding gift for both of you.   Carlos, bring the horses here.”
               Mindy
watched a man ride forward holding the reins of two horses.   She knew good horseflesh when she
