The country is peeling back her white blanket. I finally started my tomato and pepper plants. I haven’t grown my own for a couple of years. Last time, I had them up and going well, and a mouse came and chewed them all off. Hopefully, I won’t have that problem this year. I also started…

Ten Sleep Library, The Greet’s Branding video
Made another video for the Ten Sleep Library today. Follow the Ten Sleep Branch Library on Facebook if you’re a Facebooker! This one is pretty special. We put out the call for unpublished children’s stories… ones that might relate to ranch life or Wyoming, something special and unique we could read online. Authors could be…
Times Three
Walking back from the chicken coop one evening, I noticed a sink hole! Holy buckets! How long had THAT been there? Two huge plastic culverts have been wintering near a power pole and water hydrant. The culverts may have prevented me from seeing the sink hole earlier, but I’m pretty sure, I noticed it fairly…
#TBT: Identity Theft, v.2.0
This was first posted March 30, 2010. Remember Half-Pint? She’s the tiny little twin we’ve been bottle feeding. Today, we found her a new mommy. Unfortunately, that meant another calf died… one we’d doctored for scours (severe diarrhea) and he eventually succumbed. But life on a ranch isn’t easy and we know that. Turning a misfortune…
Wordless Wednesday: “Walk This Way”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE. **** I made a mistake yesterday, those are cliff swallow nests NOT BARN SWALLOWS. Thanks for the catch, K.! **** I also made this into a puzzle due to special request. Enjoy! Two puzzles in one day! ALL MY PUZZLES CAN BE FOUND ON JIGSAWPLANET.COM. Just…
Hikes
We’re getting in a hike a day… the dogs and I are loving it! We haven’t found very many treasures, but that doesn’t keep us from looking! Many of the cliffs or buildings around here have these barn swallow nests. These are last year’s version. If anyone knows what kind of nest this is, let…
Ten Talks
While the Ten Sleep Library is currently on hiatus, like many other places… we wanted to keep in touch with our patrons. For the older folks we’ve been promoting our free audiobooks, ebooks, and magazines. Plus the amazing databases on genealogy, history, Wyoming newspapers, auto repair, practice tests for school and professional exams… the list…
Requests
There were a couple of guys who wanted more photos of some old trucks… and once you start taking photos of vintage trucks… you just can’t stop! For tonight, here are the answers to requests… I hope that helps… Then there’s this one. I think you might have thought the home built hay stacker was…
#TBT: Big Sister, v.2.0
This was first posted March 29, 2009. Dally is confused. She woke me up the other night at 2 am with a “barking fit”. Turns out she was telling me Elsa had gone into labor… but I ignored her… at 2 am, I try to ignore many things! Her best friend has suddenly turned into…
Wordless Wednesday: “Gypsum Icicles”
OK. You’ve never put together any of my puzzles. You didn’t have time. Well, now you do. Even better, grab a family member and race to see who has the best time! Then talk about what you notice about the puzzle. Did anyone notice the splashes in the creek from the icicles? Go put this…
