#TBT : House
So many things have changed from this photo! There’s no date. I would guess 1940’s… as I can’t see the house where Daniel lives and I think it was built in the 1950’s. There is a man standing to the left by the equipment. This is Johnny’s house, but before the large porch was attached…
#TBT: Winter Riders
Our snow is all but gone… but in this #tbt, it looks cold if not deep. No date. No names.
Tater Bug
Well, I’ve spent most of the day looking for a photo I should have a copy of… and looking for it in a book… and on the internet. I give up because I know many of you will just email me a copy after I post this! I helped Johnny clear out more of his…
Book Discussion
I held my book discussion on The First White Woman In The Big Horn Basin by Paul Frison. This local history book is fascinating in so many ways! For those of you really interested, the Washakie Museum in Worland has some new reprints for sale. The book discussion can be watched here.
#TBT : Hidden
I don’t know if I’ve told this story before or not… after blogging for ten years, you forget things! But since it’s on my side of the family… I doubt that I did. This is a photo of my grandfather, Charles Littlejohn Burton, and my father, Charles Leslie Burton (age three?). My grandfather died nine…
#TBT : Romantic Ride Along
This couple are having a romantic ride along. Can anyone guess what piece of equipment they’re using? Taken in the field between Daniel and Johnny’s houses.
#TBT: Breaking a Bronc
The comment is “breaking bronc. Fred driving, Dad (Frank) with switch to keep bronc from lagging” Details in the photo: The Barn is there, along with the original Joe Henry cabin. The white clapboard house addition has not been built onto the cabin yet and Johnny’s house is not built either.
#TBT: Dusty Corral
This shot from the 1930’s shows a dusty corral and a head catch. The calves are little, and one guy might be holding a calf… at least that’s the position you take at branding to hold a calf. I’m not sure what’s going on… but the dusty corral was us on Wednesday! They weaned the…
#TBT: Making Hay
Making hay while the sun shines. No date.
#TBT: Horsepower
Here’s another oldie shared by a relative… Since many of us are sweating through some hot weather… look closely at this pic to help you cool off! This six horsepower hitch is being used to pull out a tractor from some deep snow. Note the snow packed into the rear wheel wells. The guys look…
