Throwback Thursday: Brad and Dan, v.2.0
This was first posted November 13, 2014. You guys are simply a blessing, you know that, right? Writing what I figured would be the most controversial blog post I’ve ever written, I just knew I’d lose readers/fans/lurkers. Maybe I have, but at least they were kind about it and simply slipped away! Thanks for sharing…

Dog Warmers
Today was a quick trip to physical therapy and the grocery store in Worland, followed by the little girls’ basketball game. The morning was overcast and cool, spitting rain by afternoon, and a slushy snowy drive home after the game. Definitely a change in the weather… I’m still looking for a home for these two…

Two batches of applesauce later… While they grow excellent pears and apples in Ten Sleep Canyon, I don’t usually get any apples because for years, when hunters come out from Minnesota and Wisconsin, they bring us cases of apples.

Throwback Thursday: Wear Some Clothes Today, Eh?, v.2.0
This was first posted November 3, 2014. I keep meaning to recreate the last photo! Wear some clothes today, eh?” was the recommendation of my husband this morning. Before your imagination runs amok, it was his way of telling Victoria and I that it was cold outside and that warm clothing was the order of…
Wordless Wednesday: Gullies and Shadows

Well Done
Out you go! All the calves have been weaned and all momma cows now head to the badlands to graze the good hard grass of the Big Horn Basin. While Brandon, Megan, Quinlan, and Lorelei braved the chilly wind on horseback, Vernon and I drove the side by side along fence lines, closing gates, tightening…
Calendar Time
I spent much of the day going through a bazillion photos… Then sorting and choosing… because it’s calendar time! I’ll go through it one more time to see if I think I’ve chosen the best for the month or holiday… But for now, here’s the cover!
