I have to share what fell into place the other day… a really sweet 1949 Ford truck is owned by a local guy, who works across the street from the library. He often parks the pickup behind the building. It’s such a great little truck! So I got a wild idea the other day… and…
Throwback Thursday: Again, v.2.0
This was first posted December 20, 2015. Cows had rubbed a gate down, and were where they weren’t supposed to be. Did I want to ride along with Brandon and see if a dog and I would be of any help? You bet! I don’t mind these little expeditions at all. It’s a good chance…

Recovering
I had to recruit help. With the addition of my new young hens, I’m getting eggs once again and I’m thrilled. But as I let them out into their new pen, I noticed a couple were limping. We had used a chicken hook to catch them the other day… had we hurt them? No. As…
Goodbye
Counting cows going past a corner is a talent and Quinlan gets his chance to practice. We try to count and keep track of our numbers… Jaxon and Quinlan work the back of the bunch, loading calves into the alley to be counted into the various compartments of the semi. The new corrals are working,…
Little Heifers
It’s time for our little heifer calves to move to Worland for the winter. They will spend their time laying around, eating fattening food, sleeping in the sun. They’ll come home in the spring. Some had a bit of frost on them this morning. Though it continued to warm up to the mid 50’s by…
Leak
When I caught up to the guys again, Vernon had just received a satellite text from Brandon. (It absolutely blows my mind that when out of cell phone range – which can happen often around here – a satellite text can make it through!). Unfortunately, the big tire water tank they had set yesterday, was…
Pecking Order
I went down to see the progress the guys have made on the pipeline. They were working on getting the lines into the corral. The pipeline now runs down to the corral and it will T off into tanks in the interior. I went on a side quest… retrieving Daniel’s dog from the neighbor’s and…
Throwback Thursday: Silent Auction and a Story, v.2.0
This was first published on December 15, 2015. I love looking back at the “old” library before our remodel and our history with author Craig Johnson. Well, another year down for our Silent Auction/Open House. Attendance was hurt some from the large snowstorm that blew in… but support was still there. 103 items were up…
Wordless Wednesday: Snow Covered Branches

Southwest Trail
As we continue on the Trail of Tears, after traveling north for so long, we now turn west and south again. Many signposts will be coming every few miles. Camp Pope allowed the Choctaw to stop, rest, and resupply. McHenry’s Farm sold passing Indians food and supplies and three groups of Choctaws camped there. The…
Wait
I realize now that I took all the photos from tonight’s Open House and Silent Auction with the library’s iPad. Which is great until I have no photos to post here from home! Whoops. Over 65 people attended the Open House with 117 items to bid on. For those of you with Facebook, I shared…
