Well, we can all do with a reminder, eh? Quinlan has learned this at school… and I’m obliging him by posting it. God Bless America from Carol Greet on Vimeo. **** The story that goes with this… I’ve posted his first take, cutting him off before he asked me if he was supposed to sing…

Quinlan
Couldn’t help myself… I talked myself out of working today, after doing some dishes and minor projects, and went and kidnapped Quinlan. We’ve wanted to make a Cowboy Counting Book together, so off we went! We climbed around the barn, and loading chute, and tractors, and toys… 111 photos later, we stopped! When I get…
Heeyah, Ponies
Victoria and family arrived last night and my internet was acting up, so I quickly conceded defeat about posting and went to bed! This morning, I jumped right in the middle of things, getting the grandkids to help feed the chickens, play in the new shop, maul the kitten, haul wood, and clean my garden…
#TBT: Mystery Woman
Roy Mills (I believe in the back row center) showing off some of his dogs he raised. I believe they were for hunting. I think everyone’s hats are great! The two guys on the right have filthy hands, like they’ve been unloading coal by hand. But I can’t help but think, who is the mystery…
Wordless Wednesday – “Horses of Darkness”
(aka, the team that pulled the hay ride…) Horses of Darkness Puzzle
Sweet!
I had help in my beeyard today! A friend wanted to learn about top bar hives. I shifted into “Teacher Mode” and explained everything as best I could. Not only is this a great honeycomb, but I love that I managed to catch a bee flying straight towards my camera! See it above the tire?…
Trunk or Treat
It’s time once again for Trunk or Treat at the Ten Sleep Town Park. There was this REALLY SCARY GHOST that came out of the Red Hills and took candy from everyone! Oh, my, he was SCARY! Then Thomas the Tank Engine came along. He was a little unsure of things, but as usual, learned…
Tucked In
Hooves scraped on lichen-crusted stone. The crackle of dried Mule’s Ears flowers caused even the dirt to make noise as we walked through. My hand reached out, brushing the tops of sagebrush, fanning the scaly needles of juniper, returning to rest on the work-etched leather of my chaps. I held the reins loosely, giving Panama…
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.
