T-shirt Bags
I found a quick craft that’s easy and fast and, even better, is another use for old tshirts. I bought a box of tshirts from the thrift store to make my potholder rugs, but you need to use all of one size. My frame is made for xl shirts, so anything smaller, I’ve had to…
Absolutely Perfect
After the last storm gave us 9” of snow, we’ve slowly had it all melt, growing warmer, moving to Mud Stage 1 on the slopes of the mountain. There is still snow on the ground in scattered spots, so you don’t know if your horse will trip on sagebrush or rocks, slide on the remaining…
Staying Busy Video
Our busy schedule from July 27 – August 13, 2021 is reflected here. I make many trips up the mountain with grandkids and Bravo to check a water tank. It plugs up easily and since it’s one of only two sources of water in the pasture, we have to check it every day. On our…
Crosswalk Snowmen
After taking some photos at Ten Sleep Park for my photo class, I climbed into the Jeep for my 20 mile drive home. Almost through town, I spied something in the road. There, on the center line, stood a small snowman. I quickly pulled over, much more excited to take photos of these tiny little…
Reflection
Oooh, company this weekend… I’m too busy laughing… I’ll catch up with you tomorrow night.
#TBT: Doing Ranch Work, v.2.0

Where’s the ranchy stuff?” <NOTE: I said ranchy NOT raunchy!><I know the difference!> Well, in between hot air balloons and hunting…

Gathering Between Storms Part 2
The cows were gathered. The gate was opened. We’re ready to continue as four wheeler cowboys. Thankfully, the cows seemed to be happy to head homeward. Sometimes, they aren’t ready to go home and you never really know. Perhaps the storm on Saturday encouraged them. Lined out and going, scenes like this warm a rancher’s…
Gathering Between Storms
I thought it was going to be UGLY. We knew this winter storm was on the way, but because of the appointment with our vet on Friday to preg test the last of our cows, Thursday and Friday were full. Saturday it rained (ACTUAL RAIN!) giving us .65″ in total. What that does to our…
Down
Before the winter storm hits tomorrow, we managed to bring our cows down from the top of the mountain.
Why Here?
After loading the bull, we took off to check the water pipelines. A winter storm is on the way and like your home water systems, water pipelines must be emptied to prevent freezing and bursting. Not far from these tanks is a curious homestead. I finally asked Vernon to stop and let me explore it….
