After the first big snow when I moved into this house, I knew there had been a faulty design way back in 1952. The existing roofline allowed snow to plummet off the roof and pile in front of the door. To walk out some mornings, you had to put your shoulder to the screen door…

#TBT: Fairweather Cowboy… or Not… Fine Details, v.2.0
This entry was first posted October 9, 2009. Sometimes I am reminded there are various undisclosed subsections that evidently lay in my marriage contract. My husband knew about them. I did not. Since *he* knew… and is laughing while I suffer the consequences… I usually throw something at him. A horse…
Wordless Wednesday: “Interesting Country”
It was a smoky day, but I still think it’s interesting country. For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE.
Sundog Studio
I’m a list maker. I like the idea of crossing things off of a list when completed. It gives me that little “atta girl” feeling. Many times my lists don’t have deadlines, which is unfortunate, because deadlines help me. Like the fact that we have a hunter coming who will stay in my studio. He…
Addition
I mentioned this earlier this fall. The plan was to add on water storage in our Mesa Pasture. I wasn’t there for the cleanout of the intake next to the creek, but that was done. The water is pumped up out of the canyon to these tanks. There used to be three tanks, but two…
Re-Red: Ranch Life – A Quiet Week
This week’s ranch life video, from September 20 -26, 2020, is a fairly quiet week. I attended a program about the unsolved murders on Red Bank Ranch in 1911, Craig Johnson’s new book debuted with a mention of Ten Sleep, the brewery, its creator, and a local musician. My chicks are grown although still not…
Bonus Video!
A quick movie to explain some things… wait until the end, when I *MAY* have found a “new” name for the videos! Or, should I just give each video its own name??? And really. It’s not much of a surprise, because I was silly and put it in the title of the video… way to…
Oh, That Dark Side
I did it. I haven’t had a cell phone since… well, it was a flip phone… and I used pre-paid cards with minutes on it. So, a long time ago, I had a cell phone. Then I got rid of it, too much money, too little use, no cell service in many of the places…
#TBT: Honest Dog, v.2.0
This was first published October 1, 2009. Unfortunately…the other day in between gathering the cattle and returning to wean the calves the next day…We lost a cow. Lost as in *dead*. Four legs pointing to the sky. Cows don’t tend to tip over as easily as sheep, but they do have one major method of…

Jackpot!
I can’t believe it… but we went back on the blog and looked… remember our little pony, Jackpot? Well, he’s three years old now! Yeah. Three! We’ve brushed him and picked up his feet and leaned on him and rubbed his ears, but there’s a need for more training. The question is… how do you…
