Proof
Moving another bunch today. Dally takes a break in a puddle that has formed in an old buffalo wallow. Jekyll returns to Brandon’s call. This was his first official drive. He did well! My stirrup took a little juniper along for camouflage. I had Brandon take a picture of me… to prove we are cowboys……
#TBT: Dapper
I do not know who Clarence Wilcox was. I do not know where he lived. I do not know where this picture was taken. I do know he appears to be quite the dapper young cowboy.
Made His Day
Fall causes work: those items that need to be put away for winter, lawn chairs, toys, the trampoline… another round with the lawnmower grabbing leaves for the compost pile… organizing the garage and sweeping summer’s dirt away… there’s more items for the list, but only so many hours in the day. The little calves need…
Lost Blue
You have to return to “normal life” so fast when these quick trips are over… how do dishes and clothes stack up so badly when you’re gone for just two days???? The guys started work on the water in the badlands pasture. We will move the cows there in a week or so, so water…
Greeley Hat Works

Oh, Toto
I’m not in Wyoming any more… Ok, that doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, but it’s true. I’m in Fort Collins, COLORADO! Megan and Tess decided to give me my Christmas/birthday presents early by bringing me down to all these people and all this traffic to pick out my custom cowboy hat! I…
#TBT: Six Horse Hitch
A six horse hitch is leaving the home place. The barn is still the same, but there’s a few more buildings and a corral in this place now.
Wordless Wednesday – “Wyoming Autumn”
Wyoming Autumn Puzzle
Shop Difference
It all began with opening a door… as so many journeys do! Remember when the humongous door fell off the shop when Daniel opened it??? and I was SO grateful that it didn’t hurt or kill him??? Well, we knew it was time for overhead doors. Easier to open and close, a tighter seal, and…
Concrete Prayer
For me, it was another day of spray painting the shop. First thing, though, was the guys pouring a new concrete pad for the new garage door to land on. One end has always been dirt and gravel, and the new door needed a level landing spot, so they, with help from some of our…
