In the midst of photographing wildflowers… thirty head of elk, including a few calves, watched us from afar… I’m working on a slideshow of my wildflowers… plus a long overdue movie… so ELK ON A WILDFLOWER COVERED HILLSIDE… is all you get!

Thick of Things
Ranch work continues around here… the break for the wedding was short but sweet! Yesterday we sold our steers on the Northern Livestock Video Auction over the internet. This is PAYDAY… and we were happy. Today we tagged the steers with their Angus Source Genetics eartag. We could do it at any time, but we…
More Pics
My small part… I hung pine garland on the deck to help block the view of the ski lift and parking lot… and put one on the head table with some wildflowers. I put some extra matching flowers from her bouquet on as a cake topper… Victoria and Cindy, Vernon’s sister, created wonderful wildflowers centerpieces…
So Amazing!
Well, we got it done! I’m thrilled to officially introduce to you… Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Greet! Photo courtesy of David Huber Photography! I’ve known Dave for years, he’s an ambulance guy AND we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder at plenty of 4th of July Rodeos! He does great work, which is VERY GOOD, because I…
All Day
Yesterday, the boys and I, and various neighbors, gathered our steers and their cows and calves out of the Badlands Pasture.

Miss Dally. Star of the Day.
Wordless Tuesday
I’m declaring Wordless Tuesday… enjoy!
Coming Atchya
Mow, mow, mow your lawn… and around everywhere else… Plus trim. (Thanks for your help, C.!) A little more yardwork, some housecleaning, a trip to town for groceries and a haircut, and don’t forget, we gather steers on Wednesday! Nothing like having it come atchya from all directions!
Daddy’s Girl
What story should I tell? What memory do I share? Since 1982, he’s been gone. Eight months after my marriage, my father passed away in his sleep… His five year battle with cancer finally over. It was still a shock. He’d been doing well, a bit confused the last few days, and if we’d been…
Go Look
The first of the hay has been baled. After two days of blissful non-allergy, I now have it again even with this baled! Too much still in the air from other sources, I guess! Like this, for instance… That’s not snow. That’s cotton from the cottonwood tree, floating in the air. I imagine pollen from…
Kudos
OK… Truth. I left yesterday to go to Casper… went to a library meeting with my boss/friend/personal shopper companion! After meetings we flew to stores… See, there’s this wedding coming up SOON (the 22nd!) and I have No Clothes… NOTHING LIKE LEAVING IT TIL THE LAST MINUTE! My friend deserves an award because: 1. I…
