I’m canceling my Throwback Thursday post to tell you a story… After gathering the mountain on Monday, the cows and calves had spent the night in what we refer to as the Horse Pasture, reflecting its history as a paddock where horses had plenty to eat, but were easy enough to catch when needed to…

Sports
Over Christmas vacation, Ten Sleep School will be in their new building. I’ve spent many an hour in this gym. It’s fun and sad to watch… but I won’t get over emotional… there’s more volleyball and basketball to go! Meanwhile, Quinlan and Jaxon are busy on the old football field.

Born In A Barn ‘24
My annual “fun day off” has arrived. My sister and I went to Born in A Barn over by Sheridan, Wyoming. It’s a good time and every year it seems to change a bit. It seems like it used to have more vintage items, more repurposed items, than it does now. This time there were…
