Daniel and Tess went to Hawaii three and a half months ago. My job… was to keep Tuff and Tina, their Australian Shepherds. As I recall, we moved cows the day before they left… and Daniel mentioned that Tina might be coming in heat. “Oh, boy!” I laughed as I bent down to pat her….
Another
Just another gorgeous day before the next storm hits. **** Stay tuned for puppy photos!
Funny Valentine
Growing up, I was a Daddy’s Girl. I followed him around like a puppy, and he taught me to shoot and fish and build and shovel and repair. Unknowingly, he prepared me for this ranchlife, having the skills to learn and to try and to be confident. When I was a senior in high school,…
#TBT: Neighborly OOPE, v.2.0
This was first posted February 16, 2009. We helped the neighbors vaccinate their cows. It was the perfect opportunity to share more OOPE photos that show a different setting! First of all, notice anything different? Yup, our cows used to look like this when Vernon and I got married. We had a straight Hereford…
Wordless Wednesday – “Hard Run”

Black Hills Stock Show Video
It’s been a week or so, yeah… but I couldn’t help but make a quick video of the Stock Show. FAIR WARNING: I did time lapse while going over the Big Horn Mountains while Vernon was driving. It results in a pretty radical viewpoint… so if you’re susceptible to car sickness, maybe this video isn’t…
Split Personality
Wyoming’s weather keeps flopping… from drifting snowflakes and a hushed world… To a crisp blue scene, brilliant with glaring snow. I couldn’t stand it anymore, and while the guys rode their sleds to the top of the mountain, I used an old machine and hauled Jaxon and Lacee around behind the sled. I mean, really……
Crafts
Latest things to keep my hands busy… A pair of red, white, and blue round reins. Who are they for? I think I have a plan for a stash for the grandkids… as they need “grownup” reins (length is 8′ – much too long for short pony necks), maybe there will be enough of them…
Presents!
So, I have to say… you readers are amazing. Every once in a while, you just floor me. I received a very long package in the mail the other day… a surprise gift from one of you! Well, we’d kind of talked about it. Then I totally forgot about it… and now, here they were….
Training Bravo
I took this last week before our trip. I’m not a very good dog trainer, but he seems to have caught on to what I want him to do… which is to find the antler sheds. There is a market for antlers, and though I’ve always just been a “let’s go hiking and see what…
#TBT: Q&A February 2012, v.2.0
Oh, HAHAHA! I’ll repost this video from February 2012 doing a Question and Answer session. My how eight years gives a bit different perspective on some things…
Not So Wordless Wednesday: “Ten Sleep Canyon Sunset”
Got slammed by the flu after we returned from the Stock Show. I haven’t moved much since then! I hurt all over and didn’t even feel like sitting at a computer. One more day and I might feel like a human again. Yes, this is a different photo than another I posted… points if you…
