The National Weather Service finally posted the award they gave Johnny last week. Fifty five years of weather observation! This was supposed to be given to him a year and a half ago… I was bummed I couldn’t make the presentation, but we had less than 12 hours notice! oh, well… It’s an amazing honor…

Summer House to Winter House
The days are gorgeous, giving us brilliant fall colors, new growth grass under the old, and a false sense that autumn will last forever. We also know a snowstorm is due this weekend. As part of my fall preparations, Jaxon and I caught my last goldfish. Remember my goldfish experiment? Two years ago, Victoria bought…
Hidden Treasure
I’ve ridden by here for forty years. Never had I spotted this little treasure hidden off to the side of the trail. I call myself observant, but it just goes to show you how close you can be to an exciting find without knowing it! It’s a tiny Jeep, missing a few important pieces like…
Annual Harvest Dinner
I took three photos and planned to take more, plus I thought about doing a Facebook Live at some point. Nothing happened from the time I started except me talking into the microphone. No photos, no live video. Just drawing raffle ticket names and auctioneering. I am not an auctioneer. Thank goodness the bidders put…
Pretty Good Day
Down the hill one more time! Four cowboys and two four-wheelerboys. They had gathered the pasture yesterday and froze with a brutally cold wind. Today was much nicer, with a slight breeze and warmer temperature. While I didn’t shed any clothes except my neck scarf at the end, the beginning of the day really was…
#TBT: Good Thing, v.2.0
This was first posted October 17, 2011. Vernon and Daniel pulled the irrigation dams partially out of the creek yesterday. It wasn’t exactly swimming weather, but it needed to be done, so they crawled out on the big dam log and started pulling sticks, letting the water flow unimpeded downstream. A tractor is a big…

Raffle Item
Time has flown and Ten Sleep’s annual Harvest Dinner will be back this weekend… ALREADY! After two years, we will be back fundraising for the library and ambulance once again. That also means the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library raffle is back as well. I’ll be donating some of my craft items along with…
Force
I cleaned on my studio today. With hunting season beginning in a few days, and visitors expected for that, I had to clean and reorganize and wash windows and sheets and wipe down cobwebs and vacuum. After hours of work, it looks presentable, and not just my casual hangout spot. Good thing this happens every…
Up There
Maybe I should have done dishes or organized my basement, but it was such a gorgeous day… I decided to head out for a hike. I threw the offer out there and Brandon, Megan, and kids took me up on it. Give those kids a free rein and they’ll head for the highest hill. Lorelei…
Life of Reagan
We’ve all decided we want to be Reagan. While adults are setting up for preg testing the last bunch of cows, the local vet, the Good Doctor, blows up a latex glove filled with mini candy bars inside. You get to run around and play. When standing around gets tiring, your own personal camp chair…
