Heifer Time
An early morning gather with the entire crew minus Megan who is off at a wedding. Victoria and her three boys, Daniel and Tess with their three, Brandon with his two, Vernon and L. on their four wheelers and me in my Japanese mini truck. These are our heifers that we were AI-ing a month…

Why Do I Garden in Wyoming?
There’s a smell to it… a smidge of ozone from the lightning, an icy coldness, a mown grass scent multiplied with different leaf and stem scents, wet earth, and muddy water. This morning was spent finishing a new flower bed and planting some last few tomatoes. This is the before photo. Note the gorgeous basket…
