Yay! Some of you did it! You told the world why you are Ag Proud and why you want to give #foodthanks this Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for supporting and thanking the agricultural industries that make our food plentiful, safe, and healthy. Here are the comments from yesterday’s #foodthanks blog. I am thankful for family…

#foodthanks
For the past week Vernon has looked at me over his coffee cup, “Whaddya say we go up and finish the Mills place today?” For several days we’ve worked… but we’re not finished! I just don’t get it! That’s the goal we’ve set for the day… and we work… and… nope. We don’t finish. Honestly,…
Chapstick Day
You don’t live long in Wyoming before you find out you NEED chapstick. It’s dry here. Humidity comes and visits, but rarely stays… at least not in the intensity that it exists around other parts of the country. So, there are two things I ALWAYS have in my jeans pocket… my pocketknife and, preferably, Mentholatum’s…
Where Did the Sky Go?
Twenty degrees. Fog. Cattle. Highway. Me. Pickup. Warm! Dogs. Frost. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… all day. Where did the sky go? **** November 20, 2009 Puppy Photos… Better Late Than Never! Part Two. Plus Some Names. November 20, 2008 Out of Pocket
Little Women
Aha! For those of you who couldn’t see my logo… I had it as a .tiff file not a .jpg, so that might have made a difference… Try this. Better? I was plugging along at cleaning on my house this morning, when Vernon came back to the house. They had been retagging our replacement heifers……
All the Miscellany
There’re a few little things I’d like to get out of the way… First, there’s my level of stupidity about all things Photoshop-ish and even Word-ish. I’ve been working on a new logo for RDimS… since I’m too cheap to have my local printer do it, I came up with this: Look closely. Since I…
Wordless Wednesday – “Hunkering Down for Winter”
Our sod roofed bunkhouse seems to hunker down for winter… **** November 17, 2009 Puppies at Three Weeks Video November 17, 2008 Old Girl – Overs
Self Promotion and Conflicted
As usual, you guys were exceedingly nice about my momentary lapse of confidence! I think this happens every fall… must be the lack of sunlight or something… But, sincerely, thanks for the encouragement from everyone! I’m doing better… 81 readers yesterday! I don’t know how you are counted… I spend too much time trying to…
A Glimpse of Heaven
Wow. I just received a Big Shock. Seventy one people read my post yesterday. A few months ago, I would have been happy… today, I was mortified! How quickly I’ve gotten used to 341 readers, or 506, or 413. I even was hoping I’d bust the 15,000 hits for this month… it’d be a record…
We’re Still Looking
Vernon has been on the hunt. No, not muley buck nor royal bull elk… for quite a long time he’s searched for a used four-wheeler… one of the most used pieces of equipment on the ranch. Since Daniel has come home, we’re kind of in need of another one. They’re used in practically every chore…
The Little Things
It’s currently seventeen degrees outside with clear skies. That means by morning, it’ll probably be about zero. Highs the past few days have been in the 30’s and 40’s. It snowed again this morning. I think the weather is trying to tell us something. When we weighed the yearling heifers, we were cold. There’s not…
Good Friends Test
My apologies for missing a post yesterday, that’s the first time since… gee… I can’t remember. Seems like I’m here everyday! I had a full day, and arrived home at midnight. Midnight is not a good time to create a last minute entry. Now I’ve been up til midnight working on one or two or…
