One more day to enter the Calendar Giveaway… I believe this is getting fun! If I could afford it… I seriously would just GIVE them away to EVERYONE. But I do have a budget… and a bank account that must stay in the black! It’s great to see this interest in them though! Keep on…

Sweet Ride
Betchya thought the only people around here with cool rides were the adults. You know… Dodge pickups, horses, my Durango… Nope. Quinlan’s got a pretty spiffy outfit… a JEEP, as a matter of fact! I was impressed. It handled the mud and ice and snow just fine! Definitely a Sweet Ride! **** January 28, 2011…
Community
After a trip to town, Vernon and I stopped by Ten Sleep School for a couple of high school basketball games. Oh, the memories that brings back! My kids played basketball and football and track… Small towns love their sports! To be part of the community… I really think you need to attend these games……
Minute Movie : “Bovine Breakfast”
Every morning across this country… men and women leave the comfort of beds and warm houses and head out into the cold and snow and ice and wind and mud. With pitchforks and feeders, tractors and hay wagons, wheelbarrows and four-wheelers, they haul breakfast to their anxious audience. They pitch alfalfa hay or peanut hay,…

Treasure
Today in Ten Sleep, we celebrated a 90 year old matriarch’s life. Her family and friends will miss her. Her presence will echo in Ten Sleep for years. You think about her life and how it has changed over the past 90 years… NINETY! A tip of the hat to you, M., may you…
Why Are Muck Boots Called Muck Boots?
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Why are Muck Boots called Muck Boots? I wouldn’t know. Neither would anyone who worked our corrals today… all seven of us were so outfitted in those nice tall black boots… Surely it had nothing to do with the inches of liquified manure that was spread over the thick ice. Or…
The Whisper of Hay Dust
Hay dust filters through the sunlight, drifting in lazy circles until it settles back on wooden edges. Ancient grain, a pile of manure (well-aged), mice scent, and dried out leather add to the ambience as I wonder at the memories held in these log walls. Memories that don’t belong to me, yet I can feel…
Mighty Fight
Believe it or not, it’s 41 degrees outside and RAINING. I know Western Wyoming received up to 13″ of snow today, but here, we have rain. Rain on top of snow, for those of you who live in the tropics, makes for what we here in Wyoming would call “OneHellOfAMess”. When it dips back down…
The Next One
Wow. Vernon and I have both been miserable with the flu the past two days. We even cancelled our big vaccination day! Blech. I’m just now starting to feel “normal” again. We don’t get hit very often with colds or flu… just because we don’t get out in public too much, I guess, so this…
