Gazing out over the swollen creek and grassy hills that make up her family's 300-acre property, Patty Blythe watched her sons feed dozens of cows on the Nipomo ranch.
“My dad would have been so proud to see his grandsons right now,” she said.
Blythe's father, Harold “Bud” Walsh, lived all of his 76 years on that piece of land - a Nipomo cowboy who was known throughout the community for his red barn, quick wit and compassion for animals. He died Nov. 14 after a heart attack.
