Nothing like a couple of days of good friends… Craig Johnson was in Worland promoting his latest book and I went over. Longmire Days was the weekend we were in Washington DC for the library, so we hadn’t seen him since the last time he was in Ten Sleep for his Christmas story. Excellent story…
Waited But Worth It
It took almost three years. That’s a very sad thing to say. Three years ago, I asked a friend to go out to eat in Shell, Wyoming at the Shell Store. Cute, remodeled, hand made desserts, I’ve written about it before. But Friday was FINALLY the day! We made it! We had hit thrift stores…
Herd Closeups
Holding the herd and pairing out gives me the opportunity to get some closeup photos. Somehow I missed a single shot of Jaxon… sorry about that!
Throwback Thursday: First Step, v.2.0
This was first posted August 28, 2016. Lots of things to do today… Victoria and family were here, so there was refereeing the seven grandkids, flying kites with intermittent wind and, well, seven kids under the age of four!… jumping on the old trampoline… filling sippies and cooking and reminding them of manners and… life!…

Moving Mountains (Pastures) Again
After a night of elk watching, we met up with the cowboys gathering Bayer Creek. I waited for them on the county road. It wasn’t long for them to pass me by. I visited with some neighbors that were up there checking their cows… and caught up to them further down the road. Vernon had…
Great Crew
By the time Vernon and I had shuttled up the horse trailer, the cows were coming into to the pasture. Sorting cows out to grass and keeping the calves in. After years of having them watch… it’s pretty much a kid crew in the back. Jaxon bringing from the big pen. Two girls critiquing calves…
Anniversary
We spent the night up at our cabin on the mountain after working cows. And then we woke up to move some different cows… The point is… we took a little break to celebrate. What? You might ask? Well, it was our 45 th wedding anniversary! Many people may not be impressed by bacon cheeseburgers…
Round Weaving
As strange as it seems, I’ve been doing some weaving. I’ve got the luxury of hiding out in front of the air conditioner on these hot days, so I thought I’d use my peg loom again. This time I would try making a round rug. A round rug off a straight loom? It can be…
Throwback Thursday: New Buckets, v.2.0
This was first published August 19, 2016. It tried and tried and the clouds went north and the clouds went south, and FINALLY this afternoon it actually RAINED. I had thrown all my bedding from the trampoline inside and found a more or less indoor job… made a meatloaf for supper… posted on Facebook because……

New Country – Wedding
We were invited to a wedding of a local man… I’d call him a boy since he’s younger than Daniel and Brandon… He was to marry a neighbor “girl”, one from the other side of “the hill” (the Big Horn Mountains) whose family property is next to ours. If we drove the “normal” way to…
