I’m BAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAACK! Didja miss me? Although I had a wonderful time, it’s nice to be home from the stockdog clinic… Dally, **especially**, is glad to be back in her comfort zone! The weather decided to be more than pleasant and we were at 60* for the most part… Even Saturday night was practically balmy… Especially…

Teaser
Here we were today… The guys had gathered our small bunch. The fifty seven cows are some of ours… some we lease. The plan was to wean these calves like we did with our big bunch a few weeks ago. *MY* plan had been to prepare for the weekend… but I ended up helping a…
We Know Wapiti
Wapiti. Wapiti. Wapiti. Sounds like a flat tire, doesn’t it? Well, it isn’t. Wapiti are the reason ranchers have to fix a lot of fence around these parts. Wapiti are one of the reasons I want a telephoto lens for my camera. Wapiti tend to eat a large amount of alfalfa should they be given…
Wordless Wednesday – Dreams Gone Cold
“Dreams gone cold.”
Signs That you May Be in Wyoming
Along with my zillion photos of the Tetons, Jackson, and Idaho that I shared with you last week… I took some photos of signs that you may not see in your daily commute. This one… along with a “snowmobiler”… “cattle on road”… and “open range”… are all fairly typical and reflect our lifestyle in Wyoming….
ReRide
After the long day of riding last week… the weather turned on us… even colder and nastier than before. So… we flew to town to get building supplies for our various projects one day… Vernon took his “new” snowmobile up the mountain to check for leftover cows the next… He didn’t find anything… Then we…
Mother Nature… Saboteur… Artist
Mother Nature’s snowstorm has taken over Wyoming and she needs to let go! She has continued to throw cold air and/or snow at us since the first of October… Her mood is slowly supposed to improve this week… arriving back at the 50-60 degree range this coming weekend. It has been tough for everyone’s outdoor…
Library and Ambulance Benefit
Just in case there is an interest out there in Blogland… Annually, Ten Sleep has held a fundraiser for the Ten Sleep Library and Ten Sleep Ambulance while all the deer hunters are in town. Ten Sleep easily doubles in population this time of year… This year it will be held October 17th. Some of…
Fairweather Cowboy… Or Not… Fine Details
Sometimes I am reminded there are various undisclosed subsections that evidently lay in my marriage contract. My husband knew about them. I did not. Since *he* knew… and is laughing while I suffer the consequences… I usually throw something at him. A horse turd. A rock. A cow wart. Whatever’s handy. No one told me…
Fairweather Cowboy… Or Not
I MUCH prefer to be a fairweather cowboy. Meaning, I hate to ride bundled up in so many layers I’d give the Michelin Man an identity complex. But… I don’t get to make those decisions… So I found myself on horseback today. Only 3 layers. Only for 8 hours. Details tomorrow… But I’m sore… And…

Randomness and Cruisin’
Today seems to be one of those days… Randomness is everywhere… Including my photos for the day… Forgive the snapshot quality… Vernon was on *cruise*… Now really… this guy had to drive from Idaho clear to Dubois for a humongous load of firewood? Plus manage the devastating speed of 40 mph over Togwotee Pass! I…
