Johnny’s great grandkids surprised him with a mini Christmas tree and some salt dough handprint ornaments. I think he liked it!

Final Scale
Everyone did a great job on the scale house, but it was Brandon that did the majority of the work. It looks fantastic! The little window is mainly to let light in… and maybe some heat. It gets very cold in that little place! There’s also a new window in front of the scale… We…
#TBT: 2008 Solstice
Looking back after our recent 40˚-50˚ days… to 2008. It was -30˚ that day… yes, I typed *minus*. Eighty degrees difference! I much prefer these, and though we have snow on the ground, it doesn’t seem very Christmas-y. Here’s the link to that day… and check out the next day’s as well… young Dally at…
Wordless Wednesday – “Red Bank”
Red Bank
Fodder
I’ve been trying an experiment the past few weeks… I’m growing fodder for my chickens as a supplement this winter. My chickens free range all year round… of course, their pickings are not near as good this time of year. I bought some plastic containers from the dollar store, and a 50# sack of barley….
Closeups
Ten Sleep had a nice little Christmas parade, fifteen floats! Most people around here have seen the photos of it on Facebook… but I was happy with only two photos. That is the Grinch tied up in the chair… but I liked how I captured the little girl’s face so clearly… Then, in this one,…
Gingerbread
Eight kids and gingerbread houses plus frosting plus candy. Good thing there’s just enough snow outside to sled on!
Scale House
It’s always in the background of any work done in our corral… a tiny red building that’s seen better days… and we’ve been talking about fixing it up for YEARS. Well, yay, Brandon! This is NOT all of the contents! There was an amazing array of objects… branding irons, horn weights, dehorner spoons, benches, stools,…
#TBT : Butter
Another of Johnny’s old treasures that he passed on to me… Written in my mother-in-law’s hand… “Grandma Arnold’s butter mold” How many times did she use this wooden mold, I wonder? Also in the collection… a butter paddle for working the last of the buttermilk out of the butter. I need to get some fresh…
Wordless Wednesday: “The Water is… Cold”
Cold Water
Kids’ Program
I know the internet is full of them now, but, hey, I might as well jump into the fray. Here’s Ten Sleep School’s kindergarten, first, and second graders singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”… Miss Reagan stole the show… even though she never did break into a dance like I expected her to!…
