The topic of the past two days just HAS to be the wind! It’d be so much nicer if the wind just wouldn’t come after having all this great rain and moisture, because it just sucks it right back out of the ground! Plus, we’ve had it much more severe than usual… 74 mph is…

Wordless Wednesday – “Swallow Moon”
Cliff swallows settle on a power line under the moon.
All In All
That hot tub I haven’t bought yet? I sure could use it now! I spent the morning spray painting my garden shed and garage, at least as far as I could get on a ladder! So there’s the up and down, the weight of the backpack of paint (only 8#, but still…) and the reaching…
Make My Own
Small fact. Too much rain is a direct link to a rancher spending too much money! See… it works like this. Rain falls in abundance… rancher can’t work in fields or haul out supplies to fix fence or clean muddy ditches or travel anywhere… EXCEPT on highways. Rancher decides to take day off and use…
Nowood International Airport
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…

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…

Rare and Wonderful
I’ve been gone a couple of days… back to my hometown of Casper for a funeral. While sadness prevails, there is a joy in seeing relatives that I haven’t seen in YEARS. There are stories to tell and re-hash, and news of other relatives “lost” through distance and circumstance. I decided it was somehow strange…
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!…
