Outhouse Build

Posted on June 23, 2026June 23, 2026

Project of the day… more work on the outhouse! I finally had all my supplies. I am using old snap together flooring on the walls. However, I’m nailing them down, so I’m hoping it won’t pop in the cold. But… it is an outhouse… It looks pretty good. Then I had an old cabinet tucked…

Egg Bound

Posted on June 22, 2026June 22, 2026

I’ll shake my head TWICE on this one… I’m down to a dozen chickens. I’m not counting Tuck, depending on whether she turns out to be a hen or rooster… and I still have that hen setting on some eggs… but I let my chickens out yesterday and noticed one hen wasn’t moving. Wings lowered….

Eventually

Posted on June 21, 2026June 21, 2026

The second time I helped gather was actually the third day… and we were only short a few head. Finding 20 something cows in a pasture that measures in miles isn’t easy. I left Daniel and Jaxon trailing in two pair and drove along, looking down along a deep draw. Nope. Brown grass. Prairie dogs….

Gathering the Badlands

Posted on June 20, 2026June 20, 2026

While I had to work at the library the first day of gathering cows in the badlands, I did help the second day,(and the third). While I’ve not been brave enough to ride horseback since I wrecked my knee, my “pony” and I can catch up to the cowboys pretty fast. Lorelei, on the left,…

Changing Clothes

Posted on June 20, 2026June 20, 2026

I waited way too late to post and now I’m struggling to stay awake. We gathered cows out of the badlands. Lots of photos and a bit of a story about the library, but I can’t focus good enough to tell. I did find this interesting… as I huffed and puffed on foot around the…

Throwback Thursday: Bulloney, v.2.0

Posted on June 18, 2026June 18, 2026

This was first posted June 17, 2016. While I was holding the herd the other day… two bulls had a tiff. The went at it, head to head, for about 15 minutes.  They started at one side of the herd, and keep shoving on each other clear to the other side.  It wasn’t loud, or…

Wordless Wednesday: Flax Petals

Posted on June 17, 2026June 17, 2026

While I took photos of the blue flax the other day, Bravo was curious about what I was doing and had to come see. The one thing about blue flax, as soon as you pick it, the petals fall off. And so… for a jigsaw puzzle of these flax petals, go HERE.

Kinda Fun

Posted on June 16, 2026June 16, 2026

We’ve had a little buck hanging around. He’s not scared of people or dogs. Today, as I left the shop, I cam around the corner… Well, if he’s posing, I might as well snap a shot. You’re a cutie alright, but having a bit more fear might be a good thing. Yeah, go hang out…

One of my favorite wildflowers… blue flax. After Bravo came to see what I was doing, that photo will be Wednesday’s puzzle!

Pond Extension

Posted on June 14, 2026June 14, 2026

Vernon needed a bit of help surveying his pond extension today and luckily for me, I learned how to run an idiot stick when I was in college. For those of you wondering what that is, it’s the simple stick with measurements on it to help the surveyor. I couldn’t take pics while surveying, but…

Making It Up

Posted on June 13, 2026June 13, 2026

It drizzled all morning and gave us only .11” of moisture, but we will take it! When it cleared off this afternoon, Vernon offered to help with my outhouse project, and when Brandon walked by, he volunteered as well. The roof is on, the walls finished, and maybe, tomorrow, the tin can start to go…

Window Watch

Posted on June 12, 2026June 12, 2026

Things to watch out my window… Daniel cutting hay for the first time this year, and Brandon’s little herd eating some great grass before AI.
