Only These
Well, you could definitely see us from the road today! We branded our big bunch right next to the highway… Lots of work, Victoria and Matt came over to help, some of Tess’ family is here, and the new additions to Ten Sleep, my brother-in-law and sister. The Little Seven… the Cousin Contingent… was in…
Goodnight
The girls were nice enough to bring lunch to the sorting grounds, so lunch was relatively on time today! That was nice to take the time to eat and especially DRINK. I had two bottles of water with me, but cold water is a great and wonderful thing! It was in the high 70˚s today…
Lunch at 9:30 PM
Lunch at 9:30 pm means you’ve had a lonnngggg day. No puppies… Either I can’t count or Dally can’t… Took Eden and Lucas out to help about 11 am. Turns out they’d gathered most of our cows, which meant a loooooonnnnng time sorting and trailing and mothering up… then they sent us four wheeler cowboys…

Lots of work around the house and yard today. I thought we were supposed to ride, but it got pushed back a day… instead I worked on my garden and I have all but three plants in the ground, two tomatillos and garlic chives… 97% of my flowers, veggies, and herbs are finished… Now, a…

Red Hills
The first of many long days to come… plan on lots of photos this week!
Life is Good
Yes, it rained. There’s rockslides in Wind River Canyon by Thermopolis, off and on Powder River Pass has been closed. You can’t get there from here unless it’s NORTH! While the creek is running high, not much damage has been done… (yes, that’s snow on the mountains further south) The guys are having to AI…
Soggy
Rain! Holy cow, it’s like we live in Seattle or something!! There’s local flooding around parts of the state… Thermopolis, Kaycee, and the creek is as full as it can get here. More rain and parts will start getting flooded. We had plans to give the heifers we are AI’ing their Lutalyse shot, but held…
It Rained
Definitely not a big day today… babysitting and a wedding comprised my “easy” day… The guy who got married is a “neighbor” up the road a few miles, and a friend of my boys. Now the weather the past week hasn’t been perfect for weddings, rain and clouds and more rain and more clouds, and,…
