Bleh. I have 21 pints of salsa and a disaster of a kitchen to clean… That was my day, how was yours? **** October 15, 2011 Oh, Gee (look, last year I was too tired to write, too!) October 15, 2010 The Bidding Starts NOW October 15, 2009 We Know Wapiti (boy, howdy, do we!)…

Next Assignment
Earlier this summer, this little pen looked like this: We have used it for some calves, though ever since a big windstorm and our purchase of the Mills Place, it hasn’t done heavy duty. The windstorm did quite the number on the roof and one side… and Vernon has a Big Project in the works….
Good Job
Today marked another year for the Scarecrow Contest at the library! Although we had fewer entries, the level of creativity was just as high… My favorite? Easily Brandon’s entry… Nicknamed “Daniel, the Ski Bum”! Hmmmm. The Daniel I know is more Sled Head than Ski Bum, so I don’t know who Brandon modeled his scarecrow…
No Rocks, But A Hard Place
We poured a little concrete today. Well, a truckful. Vernon and a local contractor jacked up the corner of the old welding shop that had fallen about a foot and a half. Remember me trying to find a flat area to weld my creations? Well, it’s repaired to some extent. This was just runny concrete……
Way Back
I recently received some old photos… and I LOVE old photos! So, from the Way Back Machine… Look at the pretty little Herefords Greet Ranch used to raise… And even further back… this country was built with good horses! **** October 11, 2011 Feel Inclined October 11, 2010 The Hands of Greet Ranch (one of…
Wordless Wednesday – “Angus Heaven”
Our Angus cows were very happy in their new pasture… and the Big Horns have their first layer of snow pack… it’s looking good here in Wyoming! **** October 10, 2011 Scarecrow Contest October 10, 2010 A Visitor October 10, 2009 Library and Ambulance Benefit October 10, 2008 An Addendum
Quaint Character
Those calves we weaned yesterday? We vaccinated, weighed, and poured them today! We did, however, wait until after lunch as it was RAINING again this morning! YAY! About halfway through, Johnny switched with me, so I ran the scales! And I had that thought again… why can’t I remember Windex when we’re coming here? The…
Another Day Done
We preg tested and weaned our last little bunch today as well as helped the neighbors with theirs. We’ve leased some pasture from them, so it’s easy enough to do… You just have to play Shuffle the Cows! Gather our bunch, sort off the calves, start pregging and start hauling the calves away in the…
Minute Movie: Elk in the Field
I decided at the last minute to run down to our other place and see if the elk were in the field. They’ve been coming in lately, and I’d seen them last night. It seems when the alfalfa gets frozen, the wildlife really hit the fields! Since we’ve been down to 20º, I saw just…
Ta-da!
This morning greeted me with this view… I made this up for tonight’s activity… Same with this one… Ta- da! **** October 6, 2011 Good Timing October 6, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – Sunshine Flows Into Trees October 6, 2009 Randomness and Cruisin’ October 6, 2008 Teach Me, Dally
Questions and Answers – October 2012 Edition
Well, I’m cruising along this evening, thinking I was forgetting something… la-ti-da… Then I set down here and it hit me! Q&A! Argh! TOTALLY forgot about it until just now… so let’s see how many I can answer before I fall asleep! Sara: Is there ever going to be any Lucas puppies again?? Oh,…
Again
Well, it did, indeed, snow on the Big Horns last night. The mountains were in clouds when I would think about taking a picture… or I was inside working… or I was headed west to Worland (and not thinking eastward!)… or it was too dark! So I’ve had to use another picture that DOESN’T include…
