My trip to Kaycee’s Rendezvous turned out rather well. I gave my camera to a couple different adults and hoped they’d luck out and get at least one good photo… I was impressed! Most of them turned out quite well! The fourth graders have been studying history… and Kaycee’s bunch was entertained for a bit…

Willow Creek
I awoke to 2 inches of snow on the ground and still falling… a cup of coffee and some morning news and I looked up… the sun was shining… snow was melting. It was springtime again! True enough to Wyoming’s springtime, the wind was blowing… but *sunshine* is a glorious offering! I have worked off…
One More Time
WOW. AMAZING. I had 30 (Thirty! yes, thirty!) comments on yesterday’s entry! Way to go, readers! I’m just so tickled and thrilled you’d share like that! A few words of clarification. Yes, *I* call this blog, Overlook… but many readers don’t notice that and that is NOT what you type in to get here. That…
Creativity Help
I’m searching for a new name. This blog comes free with my website… www.rimrockenglishshepherds.com but it is hard for people to find and/or remember. If you are looking for wonderful dogs, you can find the website by searching for English Shepherds and Wyoming… but if you only read one or two blog entries about calving or cowboying……
Easter Egg- Part Two
When I begin an egg for pysanky, I might have a general idea of what I want… Traditional styles… or not. Traditional colors… or not. Sometimes I want to try something new. Like art deco styles… Wonderful end designs… Amazing bands of art deco swirls and integrated designs. My plan… Simple green and white. No…

Just had to upload this to celebrate the day… I’ll write more later… I hope you have a wonderful Easter Day…
Questions and Answers- April Edition
Here they are… your questions *hopefully* answered by me! SARA: How old are some of your cows? ANSWER: Cows usually start breaking or losing their teeth around 7 or 8 years of age. They are then called “broken mouth cows”. As it worsens, they have a harder time eating and do poorer. Since we don’t…
What’s in Front
Today was incremental in its rise in temperature… but the sun was out, and though the slight breeze held a chill, people and calves both appreciated the lack of wet snow coming down sideways! This was a WET snow, and as it slowly retreated throughout the day, sure enough, the green grass below it is…
Blooming Snow
Sure enough, it is almost Easter… and so a snowstorm has hit! I went to Worland tonight to a Pet First Aid Class… and decided to take this photo of our mailbox as I drove in just half an hour ago. Though we only have 3 inches or so on the ground, it does look…
Wordless Wednesday- “Everyday Scenery”
Almost forgot… it is Wordless Wednesday! My view up the western slope of the Big Horn Mountains, Wyoming…
Identity Theft
Remember Half-Pint? She’s the tiny little twin we’ve been bottle feeding. Today, we found her a new mommy. Unfortunately, that meant another calf died… one we’d doctored for scours (severe diarrhea) and he eventually succumbed. But life on a ranch isn’t easy and we know that. Turning a misfortune into a lucky game is the…
OCDog
You know these guys… the main players of Rimrock English Shepherds… Lucas. Dally. Elsa. Or what my family calls them… “The Brown Dogs”… a reference to their sable color – even though we know Dally is a tri – a small detail to my spouse and children. Then there is “The Black Dog”. Boomer. Australian…
