Reminiscing III
I’m thrilled you are enjoying excerpts from a small type written “book” from James E. Greet, who was one of Johnny’s brothers. Let’s continue! “Dad spaded up a garden spot about twenty foot square just behind the cabin for mom. Dad built a stockade type of fence around it from native material. Mom’s folks came…

By James E. Greet, 1991“There was the summer that the folks lived on the mountain claim with my older brother and sister and me. I was about three years old, and that would have been 1921. Our home was a one room log cabin that dad put up. It had a window in either end,…
Cold History
Not a great deal of work is going on at the moment… the boys each have small herds to feed in the morning. Every three days Vernon is on rotation to break ice for the cows in the badlands. Tractor upkeep, prepping for delivery of feed, and paperwork (plus some flu recovery) fill the days….

Mission Accomplished
We vaccinated and poured our yearling heifers today. Brandon vaccinated. Quinlan ran the chute gate. Daniel poured. Vernon got them up the alley. I brought them out of the pen, down the wide alley.
