Wallow
After moving the heifers, I requested Jaxon’s help. I’ve still not finished cementing in my foundation rocks. Nothing like teaching the grandkids some life skills along the way! We need more mortar mix to finish, so it was break time. Five minutes after I sat down, the first elk bugled. Of course, we had to…
Hooray for Stock Drives
Heifers were gathered and we moved them along… Once we had made it the mile to the graveled county road, things were easy. Wyoming has what is known as official stock drives. Even the paved highway I live on is a stock drive. That usually means that fences are set well back from road edges,…
Okay Then
Gathering our heifers today… We had most of them in the corner and were waiting for Tess And Daniel to show up, hopefully, with more heifers. Our view was blocked by the hillside. Lorelei laughingly said if she was a bit taller, she could see them. There followed a discussion of good horses and good…
Fun
The girls and I had a fun few hours…
Black and White Bleh
I tried my black and white grainy filter in the corral. Most were waaaay overexposed. I tried to correct for it, but… bleh.
Throwback Thursday: Big Trails Dispatch, v.2.0
This was first published September 5, 2015. Unfortunately, I had the chance to be Big Trails Dispatch once again. A small lightning storm blew through just after supper, with a few nice CRAAAAACKS on top of us. When the phone rings about two minutes later… your first response is “craaaaaaap”. (Sorry about the vulgarity there…) …

A Few Favorites
A few of my favorite photos from the moving-the-cows day. Reagan and Panama looking like old hands. Well, technically, I guess Panama is! Lacee turns back a cow. A neighbor’s bull wants to join in our parade. I had to sit here in my sxs and act intimidating until he lost interest, but he never…
Good Crew
Two days of working cows and a night spent on the mountain… I met the cowboys after they’d gathered the Bayer Creek Pasture. I rode along for a while… I have to say, the kids are getting to be great help… Yes, they still goof around and chatter and are, well, kids, but they zoom…
Cheer
GOODNESS. It’s not only Back to School Time, it’s also Back to Sports Time. I missed the little girls’ volleyball game yesterday, as I took my sister and nephew for a quick picnic up on the mountain before he had to head back to Texas today. Then today: No pics of Wyatt. Jaxon is number…
Investigators Wanted
OK, internet people… I found this today… Anyone a bite specialist? The punctures are all inward. This was nestled in a little stream box “refrigerator” which was also turned over. Three other cans of beverages were not touched. I’m wondering who/what my visitor was. Two punctures do align but they still all go INTO the…
