Two minutes after a tired little boy fell asleep, the phone rang with the news that we had a calf out on the highway. Of course, we did. I sent a text to Brandon… the only one of us who always carries his phone (or has one, in my case). It didn’t say “received”… so……

Ranch Kid
Ranch kids learn jobs early. Lorelei is waving her stock flag out the window as we sit on the side of the road with our emergency flashers blinking. We’re alerting other (very few) drivers that, hey, there’s cows on the road, so please slow down! After a while, though… that job is boring. So she…
Call It
Finally! A few cows were turned out onto green grass and fresh pasture! Daniel cuts out a pair… They come out onto the highway… I had a little baby who lost its momma… but the guys found her and turned her back… and then we could slowly walk down the highway. We were slow, but…

Critter Lovin’

Home Again
Well, more shopping, more visiting… and the storm blew in… and in Casper, Wyoming when you say a storm BLEW in, it definitely BLOWS in!!!! Casper people aren’t sissies when it comes to Wind. And, yes, that’s Casper Mountain hiding behind that snow cloud. I bought some amazing crafting supplies, so hopefully soon I might…
Nothing
The plan was to end up with my free pair of Stetson boots today. You know the ones I won with the amateur photography award from Working Ranch Magazine? None at Boot Barn. The girls at Lou Tauberts Ranch Outfitters went above and beyond, but it appears there may not be any ladies Stetson boots…
Walkabout
Not on the ranch… Have gone walkabout. Maybe pics tomorrow?
