Time flies and it’s telling us it’s time to bring the cows off the mesa pasture. That also means it’s time to shut down the water system for the year. We’ll bring the cows down tomorrow, today Vernon and I ventured out to take the first steps in stopping the water we seem to work…

Suggested Donation
Met with some of the nicest ladies today in order to make journals. The Friends of the Ten Sleep Library upcycle journals from old books as a fundraiser. We take donated, unwanted books, cut them apart, and save a few pages. Then we add assorted papers cut to size. We have boxes of donated scrapbooking…
And They Did
I drove down today to see the final product of yet another water project. We had laid this pipeline last year, I believe… but the end had simply run into a pond. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it will freeze over and cows will walk in it and sometimes it’ll be muddy… so they…
#TBT: Favorite Touches, v.2.0
It’s so much fun to look back on my house renovation photos from 2011. I tried to find my ”ant hill stones” post, I know I made one! Anyway, the border in my bathroom is made from the small stones out of an ant hill… and it looks great in these early photos! This was…

Roadtrippin’
Vernon and I blasted to Cody today. On our way though, we hauled some iron to the recyclers. Cleaning up around our places means tons of scrap iron. Ranchers tend to hold onto pieces and parts and make new pieces and parts when necessary. There does come a time when you really wonder if you…
Get the Idea
Maybe you’ve seen them, cute short videos of younger women showing off their fashion style. Fixing their hair, layering on jewelry, applying makeup, dressing to the nines. An internet friend of mine does it all the time… check out Prairie Wife In Heels if you get a chance. They’re cute little videos… so as I…
Arapaho Ranch Show
They held a photography show at the Arapaho Ranch mansion today. Four of my high/low key portraits were chosen. After going on display around the Big Horn Basin, they will find home at the Wyoming State Museum. Built in the Italian villa style in 1918, the mansion was a beautiful setting. Rough around some of…
Say Goodbye
Say goodbye to one of the prettiest falls we’ve had in a LONG time. While the boxelders are past their prime, the cottonwoods run the gamut from barely turning to losing their leaves. One tree in my yard is green, another is sifting leaves onto my roof. They’ll both be hit with snow on Sunday…
#TBT: The Love of the Hunt, v.2.0
This was first published October 27, 2011. I chose this one, as Daniel has just bagged a Very Nice Mule Deer Buck… I’ve mentioned before… it’s hunting season around here. If you don’t appreciate that… perhaps you should skip this post. Catch up with me tomorrow… But I’m gonna tell a huntin’ story! I grew…
