New life promotes hope and inspiration. Beauty of the season may vary across the states, but there are foundational pieces we all enjoy. People love spring for many different reasons– new blooms, the snow begins to melt, and days become longer. The Posse has collectively provided a couple of reasons why they each enjoy spring. A common theme you will find is the fondness of sun, the appreciation of our beautiful land, and of course, enjoying Pendleton.

(Jackie)                    “-Sit in the sun and drink Pendleton Rita’s.

-Be able to enjoy a rodeo without gloves and multi layers.”

(Lindsay)               “-The first pops of color when Daffodils make their appearance.

-Seeing all the baby cows, goats and lambs staggering around and playing.”

(Kassi)                     “-Daylight savings time, which means I have more daylight to ride horses.

-April Showers bring May flowers, and the green sights are welcomed after so many months of snow.”

(Lauren)                 “-We’re that much closer to summer!

-Spring skiing.”

(Leisel)                   “-Waking up with a sunrise.

-Patios for sipping Pendleton on the rocks!”

(Jenni)                     -“Spring brings a reminder and promises that sunshine and summer is on its way.

-Longer days to enjoy friends, family and did I mention sunshine!!!”

Take note of all the reasons to enjoy spring. I particularly value this time of year when all the ranchers are busy with the tradition of calving season. So much detailed work, cookouts and family/friend support go into a productive cow-calf operation. Whatever it may be that strikes your excitement for the season, remember to take time to appreciate all the changes that spring up around you.

St. Patrick’s Day is here, and this is the perfect time to share our lucky traditions and reflect upon the luck and blessings that we all have in our lives. It makes me think how fortunate I am to be a part of the posse and to travel with this group of girls. Throughout our trips and adventures together, we all have discovered each other’s “lucky” rituals. Most of these things are ways we make each other smile or pump each other up for our next stop along the way, and these memories cannot be duplicated or replaced. We dance in the car before we go into a bar or watering hole, sing songs with the windows down and the wind in our hair, and enjoy “let’er buck” moments that we share with all of our friends that we meet along the way. We all have so many of these moments, too many to list. The main thing is that Pendleton® Whisky has brought us all together, and to that we must raise our glasses! I am excited to make many more lucky rituals and traditions with these girls. You can make traditions as well, just remember….. when looking for your pot of gold on St. Patrick’s Day, pour a little golden treasure of Pendleton® Whisky in your glass and Let’er Buck! I know I will! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
