We’ve worked it out that it’s best for Vernon to trade in his side by side every year. He puts many miles on and for the best value on a trade in, now is the time. We called Sheridan. They didn’t return our calls. We drove to Cody, ready to trade it in, they said…
On the Way
On the way to work cows, we had to make a stop to fix an oil leak on the pivot. I’ve told Daniel he can ask me for help when he needs it… But… I will stand on the ground and watch when it comes to this! I did run him back and forth in…
Watching Kids
After moving cows, we always pair the cows out of the herd. Meaning we match momma and baby and they happily trail off together in their new pasture. Not every ranch does it this way. Some simply hold the herd until they think the majority have found each other. Some just come back and try…
Some Cows
We moved some cows today… Some cows were searching for shade already… and they weren’t always easy to spot. It was tough to dig some of them out into the heat. But we did it.
Throwback Thursday: Deal, v.2.0
This was first published July 31, 2016. When I look for which posts I choose for Throwback Thursday, I usually look for ones with fun photos to look back on, or unique stories, or cute grandkids… this time the post made me laugh. It’s classic Vernon. He makes me laugh. I was going to build…

Scenic List
Seriously, I was gone for 8 days and all my work was done. Somehow, the grass grew in spots and dehydrated in others. Laundry exploded even if you don’t count all my vacation clothes. Dishes. Well, we all know dishes multiply like rabbits. My floor was swept and mopped and vacuumed, now there’s dog hair…
Extra Entries
All my grandkids have entered their respective county fairs… with Washakie County last week and Johnson County this week. While all of their animals get the most attention… rightfully so… their horses, steers, heifers, lambs, pigs, and chickens take a great deal of time and effort. But I do not discount the other entries. These…
The Show
Well, I couldn’t help myself… after all those days of travel and people… all I really wanted was silence. So I mentioned to Vernon I’d like to go to the mountain. He agreed, he had a few things to do up there and so we took our respective sxs. I decided to stay the night……
DC 6+
Yes, I have a few photos from county fair and the grandkids, but I have to finish my DC trip first. I will be working on a big movie/slides of our trip for the library, so it may take a while to put together all of our photos… stay tuned. It was great but, like…
DC 5+
OK. Sorry about the lack of posts, but I *was* on vacation and we were pretty tired every night! I’m going to have to condense the trip more, since I’m now home and thrown back into “real” life with dirty laundry, a lawn begging to be mowed, a garden disappearing among weeds, a “Bred and…
DC4
We started with the Spy Museum. Many people recommended it to us and they were right. We spent a lot of time here which meant we paid for it on the other end. But it was fun! Many interactive exhibits… spying through time… famous spies… devices… I was impressed by the spying snake… camouflage, codes,…
