OK. This curtain thing is gonna kill me. Vernon would live in a cave… I want lots of light and visibility. How do you blend those two desires into one? Well, I’m trying some dark chocolate lined curtains with sheers in between. I had hoped to be able to pull them to the outside of…

Valentine Volunteer
Someone took a little valentine to their little library. Someone giggled at the size of the little valentine. Someone hoped that the message would be heard by every patron and they would join the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library. Someone hoped that every person would find something to believe in and VOLUNTEER their time,…
Entertainment
A week or so ago, I was visiting with some younger people who’ve only lived in Ten Sleep a few years. They commented on how their visiting friends repeatedly say “How do you live HERE? What do you do at night?” There’s no clubbing in Ten Sleep. There’s the Bar and the Saloon and that’s…
Fever
It was an absolutely gorgeous day… and I let it get away from me. Emptying boxes from the other place… organizing fitting into the available space plus cooking plus visiting with Brandon who has journeyed here from Laramie… Then I ran down to a basketball game because if there is one game you should watch…

Delicate Poo
Compared to the greyness of yesterday… intensified by my use of black and white photography… today was almost a painful blue… The first shot, I was really looking at Daniel in the rearview… the second, at our shadow on the creek ice. They are almost exactly in the same spot… pretty good for a moving…

Feeding Two Video
I started this last time with the Feeding One Video… how to load your hay trailer! Now it’s on to pitching that hay to the cows. Johnny’s driving, and I’m riding on the trailer. With a bit of a breeze and the movement of the trailer, the wind chill now hits a low that squeezes…
New Addition
No, it’s not a new calf… we still have a few weeks before that happens… Remember my Indian Room? the first room completed (still no curtains and the baseboard needs finished but done enough!) out of my entire house? Well, I had a gap next to my desk… and a TON of books on Indians…
Cowboy Culture
Saturday mornings, as I drive my tractor over frozen cow turds, I tune my radio to KTWO, 1030 AM, out of Casper, Wyoming. I do it for one thing only… to listen to “Clear Out West”. That’d be C.O.W. Radio Show starring the Nelson brothers from Pinedale, Wyoming. Cowboy and ranch humorists, farriers, and poets… these…
Questions and Answers – February 2011 Edition
Alice wrote: Do you enjoy flying or do you just tolerate it? Alice, it’s been about 5 years since I’ve flown anywhere… but I don’t mind it. I’d prefer it if it came with a map because I’m always wondering what that is over there, and what kind of crops are in that center pivot, and…
Happy Girl
My help was requested this morning, so I found myself driving the tractor and even pitching a little hay. It was a VERY nice morning… in the 20’s… so that means 50 degrees warmer than the other day! Plus, driving the tractor also means *heater* and *radio*. Koosh life. <How do you spell koosh? cush?…
