Cool Stuff

Posted on May 20, 2025May 20, 2025

Cool stuff today! Daniel found this guy, Rian, to come spray a few of our fields for alfalfa weevil. Now, we have a sprayer, a three wheeled vintage sprayer, but it’s well, getting older. Alfalfa weevil will ruin your crop, so they must be handled as soon as you find them. Rian’s got a different…

Water Everywhere

Posted on May 19, 2025May 19, 2025

We’ve been receiving fair amount of rain… another .67” today. While the weather cooperates and things are dry, we feel the need to accomplish things and mark them off our list. Yesterday, Vernon, Brandon and I pulled the pipe trailer out to the new solar project. If you recall, I told how we’d fought the…

Wheel Day

Posted on May 18, 2025May 18, 2025

I woke up last night about 11:30, tired from a day of hustle! I barely remembered to throw some food to the dogs before I staggered off to bed. Daniel has been working on putting this pivot together for quite a while… who knew something so simple looking was so crazy complex! Yesterday was wheel…

What a Blast

Posted on May 16, 2025May 16, 2025

What a blast I’ve had the past few days! My cousin, who lives in Laos, on the other side of the world, had come to visit me and my sister. At one point, he mentioned how fun it was to sit and visit with Burtons… family that knows his stories and history and father. I…

Throwback Thursday: Put Your GPS Away, v.2.0

Posted on May 15, 2025May 15, 2025

This was first published May 14, 2015. The sound was strange and my stomach sank.  All dogs were asleep inside, alternately underfoot and snoring in the corner as befits a proper English Shepherd.  This was during a snoring span.  I turned to the window and saw a man, older, grey-haired, sweatshirted paunch over flannel pajama…

Having the greatest time with my cousin… just thought I’d let you know, the cat cages work!

History Day

Posted on May 12, 2025May 12, 2025

Fourth graders learn their states’ history… and I was asked to give a short talk about the Spring Creek Raid today for our fourth graders. Short, sweet, and a bit different take on the usual retelling as I included the side story of the Greet and Alexander families. The good news is: No students yawned….

Farmers

Posted on May 11, 2025May 11, 2025

While I’m working on my house and yard, the guys are busy plowing, discing, and leveling fields. Look closely and you’ll see Vernon in the blue tractor. This field had a great deal of winter killed alfalfa… or rather it didn’t have alfalfa… Either way, they’re busy working on it. First you plow. Then you…

Cat Cage

Posted on May 11, 2025May 11, 2025

I spent time setting out some new flowers today. Hopefully, no snow or frost is in our future. I have these four large pots at my “front” door, which, technically, is the back door… anyhoo… I’ve been fighting my cats for possession of these pots. They seem to believe that they are their afternoon sunning…

Fine Arts Gala

Posted on May 9, 2025May 9, 2025

I was invited to show my pysanky eggs at Ten Sleep School’s Fine Arts Gala. A precursor to the Middle School/High School band concert, it offered kids a glimpse of community members that had talent in the arts and music. All the kids know me as the librarian but not many know of my creative…

Throwback Thursday: Questions and Answers – May 2015 Edition, Part One, v.2.0

Posted on May 8, 2025May 8, 2025

Whew! What a title, eh? I thought it might be fun to revisit one of my old Q & A posts! This was first published May 11, 2015. Kay: So with a rare May snowstorm, would the cows and calves be rounded up and moved to shelter and fed hay ? Late spring storms are…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
