It’s So difficult to start with this adventure… this past day has lasted so long and that’s not counting our fun travel day to Billings. To make *that* long story short, you must check out the Crazy Woman Trading Post in Greybull, Wyoming. Tell Linda we sent you! Restless sleep so we didn’t miss our…
On the Trail
Forgive the lack of a Wordless Wednesday this week. Thanks to the help of two great guys from Cody, my blog SHOULD pass inspection with GoDaddy and continue on. We will be doing some more planning in a week or so… Until then… THIS IS THE WEEK. The week for what? This is the week…
Freedom Truck
Earlier this year for the library, I applied to get a Freedom Truck over the 4th of July. I tried to explain that the 4th in Ten Sleep is a Big Deal. That our population of 240 becomes thousands and they’re a patriotic lot and they’d get good business. Unfortunately, they chose not to come……
Looking Good
Haying season continues… even Jaxon and Quinlan have been pitching in. Brandon has been baling at night, trying to catch more humidity so the plants don’t just shatter to pieces from being soooo dry. It remains in the Super Hot, Dry, Windy category, with a high of 101* here with 14% humidity. The big cumulus…
Haying Weather
No surprise, the guys are busy haying lately. Here Daniel is cutting the oats in the pivot field. Notice how tall the oats are… almost to the top of his back tractor tire! While oats may be considered a grain, we are cutting them while they’re still green so it will be oat hay not…
Colorful Metaphor Time
Sorry about not posting… for those of you who missed my Facebook posts as well… GoDaddy suspended my account with two days notice. I thought the email was spam or ransomware. So I called and after an hour of holding, I hung up. The next morning (today) I called again. After 45 minutes on hold,…
Throwback Thursday: Splash Zone, v.2.0
This was first published July 1, 2016. Oh, to have this “problem” today! Have you ever been in wet jeans? I mean like, “jump-in-a-swimming-pool” wet? Have you tried to peel them down your legs, or pull them back up? Then, have you tried to move? Like, bend your knees… think… getting on a horse in…

The Three Little Chicken (Stories)
Ugh. There. Foreshadowing… 2. A month ago, my hen that goes broody started to act that peculiar way… refusing to get off eggs, “growling” or “rumbling”, whatever you call it when hens are being protective of their nests. Fine. I’ll raise more of my own eggs and hope they aren’t all roosters! So into the…
Last Little Branding
Our last little branding… in black and white. Megan and Victoria roped. Daniel and Brandon and Jaxon wrestled. Quinlan was sick. Tessia tagged. The young girls vaccinated. I branded. We all sought the shade because it was HOT.
Progress
Remember our “all hands on deck” day where we spread that huge plastic tarp for a pond liner? Vernon has been pumping from our solar well in 500’ deep Otter Creek Canyon and piping it about a mile down to fill it up! It’s working! We will put a fence around the pond liner upper…
Parade – George
The next photos are from L.H. It’s late and I didn’t ask permission to use them, so I hope this is ok. But they’re so nice I couldn’t resist.
