Good grief, Gertrude! It’s raining STILL! We haven’t done this much rain in a while! .73″ yesterday and .64″ so far tonight. It’s continuing to rain, and it has taken all day to get the .64″, which was MUCH different than yesterday’s downpour. The neighbors have high water, and ours sounded loud when I went…
Rain!
.73″ of rain poured out of the sky today… most of it in about a half an hour! It was interesting there for a bit, with lightning popping and thunder rolling. My dogs just KNEW a strike was headed for them, so anywhere within 3′ of a human was BOUND to be safer, right? They’re…
Amazing Piece
Seems like I need to start these entries a little earlier… I’ve been falling asleep and not feeling like waking up enough to write! That’s typical springtime… the rush is on to clean, garden, farm, ride, move cattle, irrigate and plant. Where we were in snow just a few weeks ago, the grass has now…

Family Traditions
Johnny welcomes two of his great grandsons to the branding corral… the other two showed up later and I failed to get them all in a photo together! Of course, I couldn’t have shared it, but at least I would have HAD one…
Sad Country Song
Happy Mother’s Day! I really meant to drag out an old photo of me and my mom… and just realized that as I sat down here to type away. That’s typical. Seems like I was late more than once with her Mother’s Day present! So, Mom, here’s a SALUTE to you… I miss you daily!…
Wrecks
1. First Branding is done. We JUST had enough people, short some of our regulars… but had enough food for more! We had great leftovers for supper! 2. While kicking the cows and calves over The Big Grey Ridge, they had a wreck, which means they’ll be riding again tomorrow, trying to straighten out cows…
Bee Adventurous – Part Three
OK, this is rather long… but I did edit it quite a bit! If you can’t see it here for some reason, go to vimeo dot com, and search for Carol Greet. It’ll pull up all my videos for your Friday night entertainment!
Until Tomorrow
Yesterday, I got a call as I was heading for work… The Bee Guy was going to be in Ten Sleep and would I like more bees? You bet! So I threw in my bee suit and gloves… and waited impatiently for his call. Finally it came! They were splitting hives… taking out some of…
