I’ve never used this setting on my camera… but wow, it does bump up the color! For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE.

Little Bales
As I continue doing my things around here, the grandkids, the garden, the house, and a craft or two… the guys are still working. We try to take Sundays off, but sometimes it’s only half a day. Everyone irrigates. Irrigation continues morning and evening, especially with this stifling heat. Someone usually checks on cows, hauling…
Pink Blossoms
I went creek stomping the other day, a term we used at Girl Scout camp – just a fun way to stay cool on these very hot days. My fish pond and goldfish are doing quite well. The fish look like they’re on a high carb diet and have gained and grown! The pond does…
Re-Red: August 2 – August 8, 2020
This week’s Re-Red covers a little creek fun, fire fighting and thunderstorms, the trip Quinlan, Jaxon, and I took to Fort Phil Kearny, tie-dying towels, a half-marathon runner, picking chokecherries, and the Ten Sleep Fish Hatchery.
Virtual Longmire Days
Cleaning house, folding clothes, organizing… life isn’t very exciting the past couple of days. Normally, I’d be flying over to Buffalo to hang out with author Craig Johnson and the cast of Longmire for Longmire Days. Of course, this year it was cancelled. Well, no, it wasn’t CANCELLED, it went virtual. On YouTube and Zoom,…
Level of Green
If you read my Throwback Thursday post from yesterday, you can compare notes and photos. In 2009, I mentioned how green everything was… how tall the grass was… how it was just WET and GREEN. Not so this year. We haven’t had a good measurable rain since April… I’m not counting the quick bursts of…
#TBT: Kicked Across, v.2.0
This was first posted August 18, 2009. I chose this post because we just did this… moving the cows into their new pasture. While in 2009, it had rained and rained, this year we can’t hardly beg a drop of rain. I just thought it’d be interesting for you to see how the weather can…

High Five
I admire people who can set goals and achieve them. I believe my goal setting is below average with rare success! I’m not proud of that part of my personality, but… there it is. I’m thrilled when YOU achieve YOUR goals, though! I was equally thrilled to see Tess accomplish a goal she had set…
More Stories
Before we leave Fort Phil Kearny behind, I wanted to share two more stories with you. We never know how we will act in horrific times. We all want to think we will be heroic and brave. Not everyone is. Here is the story of two men that were. The first was Adolph Metzger. The…
Re-Red:July 25 – August 1, 2020
This weekly movie from the blog Red Dirt In My Soul covers the reins I’m braiding, the pig wrestling event at the county fair (with Big Trails Natural Beef as sponsor), the mini “Girl Scout camp” with the granddaughters, moving cattle (of course), and a quick shot of a muddy little girl!
Battlefields
After going through Fort Phil Kearny’s interpretive center and the little bit of the reconstructed fort (it was burned down in 1868 after the soldiers abandoned it due to a peace treaty), we headed to two battlefields. The two battles that took place close to Fort Phil Kearny were the Fetterman Battle and the Wagon…
