Before I share the cow work we did today, I need to share some of the beauty of the mountain. Thanks to Victoria for a couple of these photos.
Time Out
When Victoria called and said she and Wyatt could meet at the cabin for an overnight stay, I quickly agreed. Winter is coming. Obviously, that meant I was not able to post last night. It was cold and windy up there and we were happy to hunker down and build a fire in the stove….
Throwback Thursday: Greeley Hat Works, v.2.0
This was first posted October 24, 2016. Reminder: I won a contest from Beef Magazine for one of my Cowboy Santa photographs. This is the result!) The flying trip to Greeley was over last night, and we even arrived home at a decent hour, but I didn’t have any photos since the girls were in…
Wordless Wednesday: Sunrise and Shadows

Juniper War
As you trail cattle along, it can get a little boring. Sure, you need to keep an eye on where they’re going, but with a small herd and easy trail… your mind can wander. Years ago at Girl Scout camp, we’d play two games to liven things up. Since we don’t ride in single file,…
Downhill
A sunrise drive… The cowboys prepare for the day… And a few hours later… There they go…
Last Color
I spent the day on a picnic with my sister and niece. Not much to share but the last color of our aspens…
Homestead
I’ll always wander and take photos of our neighbor’s homestead when we work cows there. I can remember the little fenced yard, the hand pump that brought water to the kitchen sink, serving our plates with fried chicken and sides and then eating outside after a day’s work. That was long ago and the fence…
Jobs
The last batch of cows were preg tested. There was no school today since the school always manages days off during the beginning of hunting season. That left quite the line of horses tied to the outside of the corral! The girls were freed to occupy themselves. Jaxon helped out in the corral. Quinlan left…
Throwback Thursday: Shop Difference, v.2.0
This was first published October 19, 2016. It all began with opening a door… as so many journeys do! Remember when the humongous door fell off the shop when Daniel opened it??? and I was SO grateful that it didn’t hurt or kill him??? Well, we knew it was time for overhead doors. Easier to…
Wordless Wednesday: Traffic Coming
Before the rain… how could you tell traffic was coming your way? For a jigsaw puzzle of this dust cloud, go HERE.
Soaker
Before this bout of dampish weather, I’d been trying to think of any way to get water out and about on the prairie. It’s dust out there. I’ve thought that perhaps if we have a water tank for the cows, I’d like to run the excess out and across the prairie. It usually just runs…
