Branding was cancelled today. There was well over half an inch of rain this morning, and it continued all day with a total this moment of 1.57”. That’s quite a bit for this high desert country! Weather forecasts show a slight window tomorrow afternoon, and then cold, rainy, and cloudy for the rest of the…

Uncooperative
We’re supposed to brand tomorrow. While the weather has been gorgeous the past few days, today it was cloudy, breezy, and foggy with intermittent rain. Tomorrow’s forecast is worse. You can’t brand wet calves… so it may get cancelled. The fog didn’t help our ride this morning, either… It’s hard to find cows when you…
#TBT: Branded 2.0
I’m about out of historical photos… though I’ve held a few back for later down the road. I thought maybe I’d go back into the history here on Red Dirt In My Soul… back when it was simply an addendum entitled “Overlook” on my Rimrock English Shepherds website. The website is gone… seven years of…

Weird Life
I debated about posting this… there’s probably a few ways to say either 1) I’m lying, or 2) I abuse animals. Those of you who read this blog know better… so I will go ahead and share the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me! I was mowing my yard, and it’s 74˚ today…
Something Done
Wheeee. If I worked this hard every day, I may start to lose weight! I know that’s not too valid of a concern… but, whoa. I rototilled the garden one more time, and planted onions, carrots, and lettuce. I’m not too concerned about the other plants quite yet… there’s still time for a snow storm…
What a Day
A very happy Mother’s Day to all my readers, those with their own kids, those that have stepped up to mother those kids that need it, and those who just simply love children for who they may become. I spent the day working outside… Fighting with my riding lawnmower… and losing… Switching to my little…
Cody Horse Sale
The horse sale was back in Cody. We’ve gone to it off and on… Panama, Winchester, and Zip have all come from there. Daniel and Tess were excited to go, Vernon was wishy-washy for quite a while… he could get some things done, but he could haul up his four wheeler to the mechanic to…
More Branding Pics
Sorry. Came home from the kids’ spring concert last night and fell asleep and even though that happens a lot of nights before I blog… I just couldn’t write a post last night! Just couldn’t think or function… So no post last night! I moved books at the library today to make way for new…
Wordless Wednesday: “Lines”
Couldn’t decide which one was best! Black and white, or the original… yes, no filter! The light was right! For “Lines” puzzle go HERE.
Day… Excited
Wyoming is reverting to winter for a bit… winter storm warnings are out, though right here it remains simply a cold rain. Nasty weather makes me stay inside… inside lets me work on… the table! No, it’s not finished, but, holy cow! I love this little thing! I’m working on the sides now… and there…
And There Are Cookies
We helped Brandon and Megan brand their little herd tonight, just an hour’s worth of work, but a chance for me to take my first photos of a branding. As usual, I also had the “real” job of branding, so my little camera did a few fast pics before I crammed it in my pocket…
