I had all five grandkids today while the crew finished up AI-ing the heifers. I did have some outdoor plans they were going to help with, but I woke to the wonderful sound of rain dripping off the roof. It continued to drizzle most of the day which kept us all inside except for a…
#TBT: Bad News/Good News Kind of Day, v.2.0
This was first published June 5, 2012. Wow. I’m about to tip over, but had two things to share with you. Good News first or last? OK. Last. Bad News: This morning I found tiny little Rimrock Mesa (aka Mae) had passed away during the night. She was small, and then had a rough night,…

While the guys have been getting the heifers ready for this year’s round of AI-ing, I’ve been trying to get my garden in. I don’t get in a rush, and Memorial Day is a pretty fair marker that it is safe to garden. Except for last year… when we received our last hard frost in…
Cool Brakes
Remember how I told you the last part of Highway 14A drops off fast? Um, yes, it is so. They do give you plenty of “brake cooling areas” and scenic overlooks. So many places you can be nervous about if you’re so inclined! Get it? INCLINED. OK. Sorry. Trying to be funny for my geology…
Sunday Moose
For our Sunday trip this week, Vernon has really wanted to drive over Highway 14A. Highway 14 is a trip I’ve shared before… covering Shell, Wyoming and Shell Falls… here’s a few pics of that. There’s also a video where I share this… But 14A kicks you off northwest off the top of the Big…

I hope you’re enjoying your holiday weekend.
A Little Rain
I hauled most of my craft items to the Ten Sleep Brewery this morning. I sold a few things… Then a friend and I decided to blow over the mountain to Buffalo and check out their greenhouse and buy some flowers for the library… Mission accomplished. Our idea to eat or shop a bit more…
#TBT: Snuggle In, v.2.0
This was first published May 25, 2012. After avoiding the “scattered thunderstorms” for a couple of days… the clouds settled in and finally blessed us with some moisture. The mountain is draped in white, and it is COLD. It’s 35º out there right now. I’ve built a fire and yanked another blanket on the bed….

On our jaunt up the mountain over to Bayer Creek, I was pretty sure I hadn’t shown you the new style of fence we had built. If I have, sorry to repeat myself! Vernon spends many an hour building and repairing fence. You need to have cattle that respect fence (so they don’t go wandering…
Cool
Until last weekend, Vernon and I had a good record of attempting the drive up our mountain in our little side by side. The first trip we made it halfway up what we call “Aunt Mary’s Hill”, the first steep pitch. The next weekend it was to a P’s cattle guard. Two Sundays ago, we…
