This was first published November 15, 2012. I wish I could photograph for you what I see at night, but pixels are poor imitators of the immenseness… the deep, soul-sucking blackness that backs the diamond brilliance of starlight unimpeded by city lights. The Milky Way that swags across the sky, a holiday decoration for year-round…

#TBT: Reinforcements, v.2.0
This was first posted November 9, 2012 ! My, how time flies! First of all, my apologies for not posting last night. Got home at 8 pm, ate some supper, sat down on the couch and about 9:30 fell asleep. I woke up just after midnight with a crick in my neck, and just too…
#TBT: Minute Movie:Trailing By, v.2.0
This was first published November 1, 2012. This Minute Movie is twice as long as normal… but I just couldn’t resist the peacefulness that saturates this video! We are letting the cows trail by… Vernon on horseback in the middle of the gate, getting a good count as they walk past. Daniel leaves my side,…
#TBT: Daily Adventure, v.2.0
This was first posted October 27, 2012. Funny thing, I don’t remember doing this! I’m losing it. Seriously. After promoting myself yesterday as “The Amazingly Awesome And Cool Visual Finalist For BlogHer’s Voice of the Year Category”, I’ve just spent the last 23 minutes wandering around my house searching for my camera. Yup. Took some…
#TBT: Snowstorm Toughness, v.2.0
This was first posted October 25, 2023. There’s all sorts of news today… *The shed is entirely gone… destroyed in an hour or so and hauled away after a few more hours. Bare ground, a few poles, and some concrete chips are all that’s left. *The pivot is assembled and plumbed. Electricity still needs to…
#TBT: Next Assignment, v.2.0
This was first published October 14, 2012. She still hasn’t received her assignment! Earlier this summer, this little pen looked like this: We have used it for some calves, though ever since a big windstorm and our purchase of the Mills Place, it hasn’t done heavy duty. The windstorm did quite the number on the…
#TBT: Another Day Done, v.2.0
This was first posted October 8, 2012. We preg tested and weaned our last little bunch today as well as helped the neighbors with theirs.

#TBT: Red Dirt Girl, v.2.0
This was first posted September 29, 2012. In case you haven’t been following my Twitter feed (also posted on the side bar and on Red Dirt’s Facebook page), I’ve been in Casper the past few days attending the Wyoming Library Association’s convention. This is only my second one… last year it was in Cheyenne… and…
#TBT: Tag Team, v.2.0
This was first published September 23, 2012. We moved 70 or so pairs a couple of miles today. It was warm on the mountain, though we all came prepared with jackets or sweatshirts… never quite trusting that it won’t be cold and breezy! Lucas really wanted to come, but I think it would have been…
#TBT: Minute Movie: Elk Bugling on the Bar C, v.2.0
This was first posted September 18, 2012. Yes, there used to be a video but it was dropped in my move from Vimeo to YouTube. The breeze lifted the eerie, beautiful sound to Panama’s ears. He halted, unsure. His nostrils flared, and every muscle was gathered. Should he run? Ears intently forward, his eyes peered…
#TBT: Definitely A Blessing, v.2.0
This was first posted September 7, 2012. It’s so fun to see how far the studio has come! The past three days, I’ve had a visitor. While I’ve had to dress up and work at the Ten Sleep Library, my visitor has donned work clothes, gloves, and air mask… and he’s shoveled out my chicken…
#TBT: We Amaze Me, v.2.0
This was first posted September 4, 2012. Gee, Carol, how many horses can you fit into your horse trailer? Well, today, obviously a few more than the six we usually squeeze in there! OK. I’ll say it first. You might be a redneck if… Instead of getting a car hauler, you decide you can fit…
