Sunday the rain moved in… We were up on our mountain pasture spreading salt… <<details on that tomorrow>> The wind whipped up… The plink plink of drops was met equally with the whish whish of the wiper blades… The sky was gun metal blue… The hills layered in shades of greygreen… We drove up the…

Studio Beginnings
Here’s the south facing wall of my studio/aka the old chickenhouse… The windows are covered in chicken wire… with traces of plastic sheeting left wafting in the breeze… The tiny picket door needs a latch to hold it closed… The wood door needs its hinges tightened so it doesn’t take a BIG SHOVE to open…
Project Studio
Here’s my new project… On the left is the log cabin section… On the right is a stick addition… It was last used as a chicken house… It is dirty. It is uninsulated. It is a dream. It overlooks the fields and the red hills and western sunsets… It now will become my place… An…
Black Dog
This is Boomer… Boomer is black. Boomer is NOT an English Shepherd. Booomer is an Australian Shepherd… Boxy body… No tail… Unfortunately… Boomer is an obsessive compulsive Aussie… He will chase sticks forever… I mean it… Come visit me and throw a stick for Boomer… You’ll have to do it the rest of your stay……
It was 1969…
Richard Nixon becomes president. Neil Armstrong becomes the first man to walk on the moon. Woodstock is held. The Love Bug, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are popular movies. Gasoline is $.35 a gallon. The Greets buy the BIG RED TRUCK. So… yesterday’s entry was partially true… the truck…

Sale Barn
I have an assignment for you… Go online (or do it the old fashioned way) and look in your phone book and see if you have any livestock auctions around you. You might be surprised. Out there… Somewhere… There is a sale barn working. It may be an interesting side trip for you. The cows…
Wild Life
When my friends from New Zealand were here not long ago… it made me re-realize the amount of wildlife we take for granted. I mean, I *know* it… but sometimes you just need people to oooohhh and aaaahhhhh over the little mule deer doe in the road to remind you! You can retreat to this…
Stacking Up
I seem to be stacking up on my photographs… I have more old cars… I have wildlife… I have my new project… I have sale barn photos… So, I threw a coin in the air and chose… These! < Do not worry… I am FAR from these storms when I take the pictures… and if…
Photoshop Playday
Though I had a productive morning on my new little project at the Mills Place… I got caught up in cheering for the Wyoming Cowboys playing the Texas Longhorns… dang if little bitty University of Wyoming didn’t look respectable for the first half! We even led by four points for a few minutes! But football…
Nine Eleven
Out here… we won’t forget… Though everyday life goes on… we won’t forget… Through high winds and hailstorms… she still flies high… we won’t forget… She’s in the background of all we do… we won’t forget… We’ll teach the young ones… they can’t forget…

(though theirs is brand new and Ten Sleep School is old) Elevation. (4600′ or so) Mainly a ranching community. (more impact from oil and gas and coal in Kaycee) Many families from…
