This week’s recap of Red Dirt In My Soul covers only January 8 – January 10, 2021. Ranchlife continues with the grandkids enjoying some fresh snow and sledding at my house. “Lookout below!” A frosty morning captures my camera lens and I have to take multiple photos of the delicate patterns on windows and weeds….

Smear
I decided to embrace the smear… Well, maybe I overdid it, but it’s hard to take a good picture at night under fluorescent lights! This one’s not quite finished, but it’s close! These little blocks are a kick to design, burn, and paint…
Stand In
The cows have been gathered from the Badlands. A few “housekeeping” actions needed to be done… sorting and worming to name a few. Once again, the guys planned it for a Wednesday. I work only two days a week, but it seems like often it’s one of the days I’m at the library when things…
#TBT: Snowfall Video
When I looked back for an old video for this Thursday’s post, I just had to choose this one. After a big snowstorm, I take all my dogs for a walk… or try to. They aren’t very enthusiastic about the deep snow, and I’m huffing and puffing along on snowshoes! For those of you who’ve…

Find Beauty
One of my squares that I wood burned seemed to lend itself to a metallic look. I happened to have some metallic colored pencils, so I took a chance, and colored the square. At this point I was happy. Of course, I thought it needed to be sealed, but thought stain would be too dark….
Wyoming Ranch Life Recap – Jan. 1-7, 2021 – Video
A re-cap of our Wyoming ranch life from January 1 – January 7, 2021. This video covers opening water holes for cows, a job that must be done daily, and the arrival of our new additions to our calving shed. After unloading the sheds, the guys have to go feed, and I go inside to…
Where I’m From
Well, again, just a bit too busy to make a movie… but I’ll have Jaxon stand in for me tonight. Here’s a paper he did for school, and I’m a big fan of this style, and, you’ll have to admit, this is truly precious.
Bringing ‘Em In
It’s time. We’ve been very lucky to be able to leave our cattle out in this BLM allotment for the full period. Often, if there’s not enough grass, or water, or the snow is too deep for the cows to reach any grass, we have to bring them home earlier. That means feeding hay. The…
In Progress
Working on some wood burning projects lately… They’ll be painted and stained, but here they are in progress.
#TBT: Dally at Work 2010 Video
I explained last week why I’ve chosen to replay some of my old videos from 2010. Feel free to research the reason, if you so desire, HERE. For this week, I chose a video of Dally driving calves out of the brush and down to the field where we will start feeding them hay. I…
