Peg Loom 3

Posted on February 2, 2026February 2, 2026

Still no luck downloading photos. Can anyone say, Aggravation? Tonight I had another peg’s worth of bags slid down on my rug. I can tell that the first rows I didn’t twist the bags any, and then for some reason I decided to. It has a different look to it but that may not be…

Peg Loom 2

Posted on February 1, 2026February 1, 2026

Peg Loom

Posted on January 31, 2026January 31, 2026

Congratulations, it’s a peg loom! This type of weaving predates the Vikings. Pegs are set into the holes in a board. Weft strings are laced into the pegs. Then whatever you’re wanting your rug to be made from, for my first one, I’m using plastic grocery bags looped into a rope. It is wound alternately…

Welp

Posted on January 30, 2026January 30, 2026

I’ve told myself over and over again… I don’t need another craft… I don’t need another craft… Welp, I’ve got another craft… Any guesses? I’m pretty sure this is a craft few of you have heard about. Hopefully, tomorrow I can give it a really good try…

Throwback Thursday: Helpful Tip, v.2.0

Posted on January 29, 2026January 29, 2026

This was first posted January 30, 2016. When moving cows along a road… should you desire to split them… I have the technique for you to try. First, get your horse herd to stand in the middle of the road.  Now, how you accomplish this is up to you… ours seemed to be well trained…

Long Cold Day

Posted on January 27, 2026January 27, 2026

Well, it was -15 at my place and colder at Daniel’s, but it was the day we’d planned to work cows… so work cows, we did. At one point, Brandon held his syringe in the exhaust of the side by side to help warm it up. The pour on Daniel was using was in by…

Lost Among the Wolves, III

Posted on January 26, 2026January 26, 2026

I recently had a relative send me this old story published over 50 years ago. Since it’s reached its 50 year limit, I thought I’d share it with you over the next few days. It’s quite the story! Lost among the wolves by Mary E. Witherup in Wyoming Magazine, Vol VIII No. 2  June-July 1975,…

Throwback Thursday: Eighteen

Posted on January 22, 2026January 22, 2026

I about forgot… after checking last week I hadn’t overshot the date, I just vaguely knew today that I was missing something. I guess I’m getting old and forgetful! Let’s do math… 2026 – 2008. 18. Really? Really? So, yes, that long ago, I sat down to start writing this blog. Am I insane, or…

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!
