We’ve switched from “cowboy mode” to “farmer mode”. With the largest rainfall during the month of May that Johnny has recorded in his 55 years of recording weather, over 6″!, it was no surprise that field work was way behind schedule. I’m usually anxious for it to start… not because I help… but because I…

Blog Details
I’d like to, once again, thank everyone for sticking around through my computer/blog difficulties. I do read all your comments, and it was nice to be missed! Since we spent most of the day attending a little family reunion in Thermopolis with some of Vernon’s cousins, instead of working! maybe I will take this time…
Mooving
‘Tis that time of year that we play “cowboy”, and move cows this way and that. We’ve gathered three times in the badlands, sent some to the Mesa, Mills, Violet’s, Horse, and Slope pastures. Brandon and Victoria rode today, bringing in two errant steers and a bull. It seems constant, putting those cows with those…
I Is Back
I’m Here! Hellloooooo, out there! Well, we think we have it in hand… My guy, Jason… who shall be known as MYGUYJASON at GoDaddy… has cleared things up… given Red Dirt a firewall and helped immensely with my new look amongst other *I.T.* stuff that I may or may not thoroughly understand! There’s still a…

With Jason’s Help…
I told him I was going to give him all the credit… My blog is UP! <insert BIG SMILEY FACES and BALLOONS!> As far as we could tell, it’s all there… I mean, we didn’t click on every post… but things looked good at first glance. I’ve got a new firewall… and we will be…
The Troubles I’m In…
I’ve been in a bit of trouble… this Red Dirt blog has had various security issues… spam, old outdated themes, fatal errors, all sorts of ugly, UGLY things happening to it. I’ve been on the phone with GoDaddy multiple times. Each time we make progress. Unfortunately, a migration must take place… which can take up…
Gettin’ Ready
The internet has been having some problems. Last night was one of them. I had already fallen asleep on the couch… but I had a cute pic I was going to post quickly. When it was apparent that the internet was floating around on a cloud, or taking a nap, or whatever it does when…
Stolen
Again, I’m babysitting… so I’ll steal a pic from Victoria.
Experience
It seems so strange. Everyone is gathering the cows in the badlands and I’m not riding. It’s odd not seeing the Indian paintbrush blooming, or the bluebells tucked away on hillsides. I’m not there to see the rainwater filled swales or the breeze grab the grass to sway back and forth together. I can’t see…
Ay Eye
Not Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Insemination. We had 150 heifers to do today. Quite a bit for us. Plus the guys wanted to space them out some, which was ok, as we got to take a long lunch! Most of the time in the past, I’ve worked the alley or have done paperwork, but this time…
