I spent hours painting on the old shop remodel… my shoulder is tired, but I’m far from finished and then there’s that pesky second coat. The shop does look wonderful though, and I’ll soon show you some blow by blow photos… It’s now foam insulated and finished out with OSB and rigid insulation. Highlight of…

Harvest Dinner
Once again, our little Harvest Dinner was a great fundraiser for the Ten Sleep Ambulance and Friends of the Ten Sleep Library. With quilts, artwork, handcrafted items, unique baskets full of themed merchandise, jewelry, fall decorations, signs, books, food, scarves; it all added up to a successful benefit. I’d like to thank those that donated,…
Rescued
It’s that time of year again. Hunting season. The roads are crazy busy. There are hunting camps everywhere. People from mainly Wisconsin and Minnesota, but California and Arizona and Colorado and other places have descended into Wyoming. Collision Orange is the color of the season. Most are here for deer. Others elk. A few for…
#TBT: Cowgirls
These girls are having a grand time trying on cowboy hats and holding up pairs of chaps. This was originally entitled “Girls with Chaps”.
Wordless Wednesday – “Good Morning”
Good Morning Puzzle
Trailing Down
Saddle at 7. Drive up the mountain. Unload. Start taking pics and video to share with you! The cows went pretty good until the Slope Pasture and. then. they. would. not. move. Yell and whistle. Chase through the rocks and down the hill. Panama is tired. Eden is tired. Break for lunch at the bottom…

But actually, it was kinda nice! If the wind died down or I was in the trees or down in a bottom, I was overdressed. But on the…
Craig Johnson Visit
A quick visit from my ol’ buddy… He was speaking at a book signing/dinner over at the Red Reflet Ranch. It was Extremely Nice to only have to drive 13 miles to a superb supper and enjoyable visit with Craig and Judy Johnson. And, in case you haven’t been watching, his latest book, An Obvious…
Looking for a Calendar Shot
Last Monday, we cancelled our preg testing because of weather. It rained and was cold… and we just decided it wasn’t worth being wet and miserable. Well, today was the ‘replacement day’ and when the rain started pouring down last night, we began to wonder if we would be doing it today as well. A…
#TBT: Headcatch
Since not long ago you saw our vet’s nice hydraulic chute that we use to pregtest our cows, I thought I’d share this old photo. It looks like a 2×6 and some hip action held the cow’s head in place, for whatever they were doing… I’m not sure about the bigger bottom angled board and…
