On yesterday’s trip to the mountain… We also pull the plug on all of our water tanks, letting them drain… We tear apart the pipe from the spring box, preventing the ice from splitting the pipes… This is Mahoney Spring. The BESTEST BESTEST water in the WEST… guaranteed to freeze your brain, teeth, throat,…

Really, Truly
Wow. I can feel my legs. I mean, I can FEEL my legs… every muscle. We went to the mountain to let the fence down. Before I moved here, I’d never heard of doing this. As the winter snows begin to drift, the barbed wire fences are covered in heavy snow. The weight of snow…
Wordless Wednesday – “Impossible Gold”
A smidge of a rainbow hovers above our cattle as they trail along the near skyline in shadow. The far skyline in sunshine is half a mile away on the other side of a 500′ canyon… Reaching this pot of gold would be impossible without a jet pack! Happy Wordless Wednesday! **** October 12, 2010…
Feel Inclined
It’s that time again. Time for our major fundraiser for the Library and Ambulance. It’s time for the Harvest Dinner! Saturday night is our raffle, bucket raffle, and live auction for the library and donated items are coming in! I donated this photograph… 16″x20″ printed on “canvas”… and mounted on foam board to the library…
Scarecrow Contest
Saturday, the Ten Sleep Library held a scarecrow contest! My boss/friend KJ has been wanting to do this for years… and we finally got our act together… and the Friends of the TSL donated the prizes. We had two categories… traditional and non-traditional… and paid out 3 places in each. A Wii and a Kindle…
Questions and Answers – October 2011 Edition
First of all, sorry that Panama’s whinny startled so many of you! He’s such a Lonesome Charlie and sometimes it irritates me, but to find out he scared people, dogs, and kittens… well, it was slightly humorous on my end! I will try to remember a warning on the next video he “announces”… Let’s get…
Look at the Sky
Ta-Da! Yay for me! I actually DID put together a Minute Movie called Bringing the Cows Down. To be honest… it’s a Two Minute Movie. But everything was soooooo quiet and peaceful… I just needed to share! If you look at nothing else… look at the sky. Oh, my! Without further adieu… Minute Movie: Bringing…
No Popcorn
Lest you doubted my story of rain yesterday… which continued throughout the night and morning and has recently restarted… We’re almost to 2″ of rain… which, by Wyoming terms, is 1/7 of our yearly moisture! When the clouds lifted this afternoon… Yup. No surprise there. Boy, I’m glad we’re not riding today! My opinion on…
Good Timing
While I was working at the library yesterday, the guys gathered our mountain pasture and kicked them into a smaller “holding” pasture. That meant leaving first thing for the mountain to trail them down. Dally was Dog of the Day… Lucas is prohibited from that drive, and Elsa would have been Extremely Sore… so Dally…
Wordless Wednesday – “Wonder Why”
I’m not the photographer… but this is my favorite photo from this past week… wonder why… Good gravy, I need my hair dyed… Leave your Q for the A on Sunday… **** October 5, 2010 Black and Blue October 5, 2009 The Other Hundred Photos… October 5, 2008 No entry.
Calf Waiting
Really? After two days of vaccinating calves and wandering around… I took THREE photos and one video? Good night! I must be losing it. Too late to get the video going, though I agree, a Minute Movie is well past due… so… One little calf waiting for her shots… is all I have to share….
Plenty To Do
Spent the day vaccinating our sad little weaned calves. I’ve written about it before, so there was nothing too overly exciting about the same process. We will finish them up tomorrow… Instead of calves, I figured I should share some more of Cheyenne. It is a cool city… really! Much of the downtown is a…
