Posted on May 13, 2025May 13, 2025

Having the greatest time with my cousin… just thought I’d let you know, the cat cages work!

History Day

Posted on May 12, 2025May 12, 2025

Fourth graders learn their states’ history… and I was asked to give a short talk about the Spring Creek Raid today for our fourth graders. Short, sweet, and a bit different take on the usual retelling as I included the side story of the Greet and Alexander families. The good news is: No students yawned….

Farmers

Posted on May 11, 2025May 11, 2025

While I’m working on my house and yard, the guys are busy plowing, discing, and leveling fields. Look closely and you’ll see Vernon in the blue tractor. This field had a great deal of winter killed alfalfa… or rather it didn’t have alfalfa… Either way, they’re busy working on it. First you plow. Then you…

Cat Cage

Posted on May 11, 2025May 11, 2025

I spent time setting out some new flowers today. Hopefully, no snow or frost is in our future. I have these four large pots at my “front” door, which, technically, is the back door… anyhoo… I’ve been fighting my cats for possession of these pots. They seem to believe that they are their afternoon sunning…

Fine Arts Gala

Posted on May 9, 2025May 9, 2025

I was invited to show my pysanky eggs at Ten Sleep School’s Fine Arts Gala. A precursor to the Middle School/High School band concert, it offered kids a glimpse of community members that had talent in the arts and music. All the kids know me as the librarian but not many know of my creative…

Throwback Thursday: Questions and Answers – May 2015 Edition, Part One, v.2.0

Posted on May 8, 2025May 8, 2025

Whew! What a title, eh? I thought it might be fun to revisit one of my old Q & A posts! This was first published May 11, 2015. Kay: So with a rare May snowstorm, would the cows and calves be rounded up and moved to shelter and fed hay ? Late spring storms are…

Late Night Excitement

Posted on May 6, 2025May 6, 2025

I often am up watching tv, reading, or occasionally crafting until 10 pm or so, when I then panic and try to write something here. Since my house is only a bit off the highway, neighbors can easily see whether my lights are on. This certain neighbor had an urgent message for me at 10:00…

More Rain and Plans

Posted on May 6, 2025May 6, 2025

More rain was predicted for today, so while my house lies waiting for more of my cleaning supplies, I spent the morning mowing my yard. I can clean while it rains. My cousin is coming for a visit next week, and I’m positive, without a doubt, that the state of my housekeeping is low on…

Spring Beauty

Posted on May 4, 2025May 4, 2025

To be honest, I could buy one of these for Quinlan, Jaxon, and Lacee and they would have the same thrilled look on their faces as Lorelei. There aren’t probably many 11 year old girls who ask for a writing quill for their birthdays, but Lorelei is one. I bought her lined paper as well,…

Antics

Posted on May 3, 2025May 3, 2025

I alternated between garden work and house work. While it may have reached 70 degrees today, my out of shape body thought it was more like 90! As a result, I don’t have a clean house or fully planted garden, but I’m getting close on both. When Vernon requested I come pick him up around…

Kit Season

Posted on May 2, 2025May 2, 2025

’Tis the season. On my way home from Ten Sleep, I saw fox in four different places. The kits are tiny. At this spot, there were six little babies… It’s fairly difficult to get good photos, through the brush, in low light, with rambunctious subjects… I took a few little movies, I’ll see if I…

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!
