This was first posted July 16, 2009. We were in the midst of preparations for our Centennial party… lots of mowing, weed eating, picking up branches, moving things around! It’s fun to look back! The setting for our centennial party is around “the white house”. This is the original homestead building built by Joe Henry…

Wordless Wednesday – “I See Skies of Blue, Clouds of White”
What a WONDERFUL WORLD. For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo… go HERE.
Little House Re-enacted
Yesterday’s photo of “Little House” reminded me of something. The Kids’ Rodeo is coming up in Ten Sleep… Jaxon was chosen to carry in the American flag in the Grand Entry. That’s pretty cool… so he’s been practicing with his pony, Jackie, and getting her used to the flag. I asked Tess if he was…
Little House
There’s been plenty of 5 am mornings lately. I prefer not to be an early riser, 6 or 6:30 is my preferred wake-up call. If I’m not riding, I’m babysitting, so it doesn’t really matter because the kids will arrive before the time called for saddling horses. Tomorrow is saddling at 6 am… but here…
Re-Red: June 28 – July 4, 2020
I started this early today… good thing, too, as we lost power for about 3 hours this evening! Though many of you were probably hoping this week’s Re-Red would include video of the elk, remember, Re-Red is from the last week, not the current one! You are lucky, because obviously you know where to come…
Sweet
Before time gets away from me… I need to share what happened on the 3rd of July. Ten Sleep had its 75th Rodeo on the 3rd and 4th. You know how I love taking rodeo pictures… usually. I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about it this year… and it was HOT. And I had spent the day…
Job Security
We’re getting slammed with work… cows to move every which way! I’m trying to help when I can, so I was sent to the mountain to work with Brandon. He was going to fix fence. Now that’s a job I don’t mind doing. We were very intent on looking along the fence line… seeing that…
#TBT: A Hot Move, v.2.0
This was first posted July 10, 2009. The problem: Cows on the fence… they want to leave for the cooler mountain, but it isn’t time yet. Some dirty cows even are IN the field! Then there are the troublemakers… Lucas and Elsa have success! Lucas makes it to Bruner Draw… and goes looking for a…

Back To It
You may recall I talked about potholder rugs back in early February, back before the world stumbled. Well, I’m back at them! I made one for my sister… This one I called the Continental… it reminds me of the colors of the Continental Army, navy blue, tan, and white with red accents. I traded this…
Kid Branding Portraits
Last week we had seven calves that needed branded. Somehow or another they had missed out on the other days we branded. Since all eight cousins were here, it was definitely going to be a kids’ branding. Daniel and Brandon just “legged them out”, meaning one just grabbed a hind leg and the other “busted”,…
Re-Red: June 21 – June 27, 2020
This week on Re-Red… Pronghorn antelope, Quinlan’s artistic photos, moving cattle with Bravo along learning the ropes, and the Indian Blanket wildflower. I think I’ve found that I just love to be with kids that have to investigate their world… catching grasshoppers and minnows… learning and experiencing their world! It’s so unbelievably fun to watch…
