The salt shed is making progress. Vernon’s winter project needs a tad more paint, some outside wall tin, and a doorknob…and it will be finished. It’s already served as a nursery, but in between checking on calves and nursing them, Vernon would work on the shed. Today, I started painting the double doors… Brandon and…

But No
Nope. It’s not a #tbt. I didn’t make it back to Johnny’s to get copies of the latest vintage photos he’s run across… So… I just thought I’d let you know I survived and even ENJOYED speaking to the Worland / Ten Sleep Chamber of Commerce. I didn’t stutter. I didn’t leave my brain along…
Wordless Wednesday – “Rimrock Sundown”
Rimrock Sundown
Nerves
I can’t help it. I’m lucky enough to be asked to speak to the local Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it, I really am… but I can’t help be just a tad nervous… what will I forget? I’m prepared. I’ve practiced and practiced. And hey… I’ll have my speech right in front…
A Little Fun
It seems like forever since everyone was healthy and the intensity of an overly cold and snowy calving season wasn’t hanging over our heads… time to get the grands together and go sledding! Well, they went sledding… Reagan toddled around up at the top of the hill… where the road has melted… That *is* chocolate…
Sunshine and Roses
Ha. Did you really think I’d be writing about sunshine and roses during calving season? Nope. Thank goodness, the weather is improving and at least the snow is leaving from the south facing slopes. Of course, that leaves mud and pools of meltwater… but let’s whine about one thing at a time, shall we? At…
Learning Fast
I’m taking the fast way out, by posting a video onto my Red Dirt Facebook page. No, you don’t have to have a Facebook account to watch it. This little calf looks half deer… but she was feeling good.
Sunshine
Nothing is looking as good to us as slightly warmer temps and plenty of sunshine.
#TBT: Proud to be Green
Let’s Throwback Thursday to 1973… This is me in my Cadette Girl Scout uniform… and since the Girl Scout birthday was just on March 12, hey… why not? I probably could scrape up photos of me in all my uniforms, from Brownies to Seniors… and then throw in some camp counselor and troop leader and…
Wordless Wednesday – “Peekaboo”
Peakaboo OK, yes, I spelled it wrong. What can I say?
Checkup
Once calves are on the ground, you can’t just ignore the babies. Unfortunately, calves can easily pick up a bug, and some are nastynasty. Brandon does a walk through as the calves are taking their late morning nap. He looks for calves that are dropping their ears down, feeling bleh. They may or may not…
One More
We’re down to calving the last few heifers. Thank goodness. At least it will give the guys a break in the middle of the night.
