I have company… and we’re busy!
Sheep!
I couldn’t help myself, I had to go watch a neighbor go by. A few tried to come by our cattle guard, so I parked my sxs there and watched them go by.
New Toy and a Great Start
On occasion, I watch a guy on YouTube called Midlife Stockman. It’s one of those satisfying yard cleanup channels… He uses a mini chainsaw frequently to cut down small trees and vines. I wanted one! I finally bought one! Is it not just the cutest thing? I love it! My yard is getting a tad…
Better This Time
Ugh. Trips to town… I didn’t even hit all the stores I had planned. I only forgot two things. But after working at the library until 1:00, our summer hours have begun, it didn’t leave as much time as I needed, but more than I wanted! Both greenhouses were absent of tomato plants for my…
Wordless Wednesday: Lichen Them Rocks!
This great broken formation covered in lichen is the next jigsaw puzzle… I’m lichen them!
So Far
What would a trip to the mountain with ranchers ever be without them having to check springs and water tanks? The dogs were getting a drink while Vernon and Daniel measure the flow. Unfortunately, it’s way down from normal. Daniel tried to unplug the pipe, but that didn’t seem to be the problem. Then Vernon…
Seashell Climb
Before I go any farther… (it works!) To avoid the crowds of Memorial Day, we drove to our mountain pasture to climb to the top of our fossil butte. I had hopes of finding something to use at the library summer reading where our theme is “Unearth A Story”. We’ll be talking fossils and dinosaurs….
Holiday
We took the day off, but rather than join in the traffic and crowds, we spent the day alone, looking for fossils and arrowheads and elk! Hmmmm. I guess my iPad has gone on vacation as well. It’s not downloading my photos from today, so it looks like tomorrow will be spent clearing off some…
Situation
It’s a recurrent theme around here… water projects. We’ve always done them… developing springs and putting stock tanks near them… pipelines to run water somewhere… storage tanks to save water… and this year, I’m grateful for all those projects. For those of you not in agriculture… the U.S. is in a serious drought. Yeah, folks,…
Culprits Part Two
As a continuation from the other day… After Megan and I gathered the cow culprits out of the neighbor’s field and tucked them safely into a home pasture, it was time to repair the fence and gate they’d torn down before more cows escaped. Replacing the broken gate post was priority one. Then there were…
Throwback Thursday: Last Breath, v.2.0
This was first posted May 24, 2016. The end of an era… The second most photographed barn in Wyoming has finally lost its battle with gravity… Here she is May of 2014… looking sad as her second floor collapsed… Floodwaters surrounded her… but she was hanging on! Last week, she finally breathed her last.
