Sorry about last night… when you wait until late to write your post… and then it won’t let you sign in… it doesn’t take too long before you just give up and go to bed! I don’t have that much patience late at night. But! I did sit down this evening and make a movie….

It’s a Start
A little bit of work with the little bitty dog… I try to get my dogs to be relaxed around cattle. It’s easy to get them hyped up usually, so calm is the first thing I work on. Let’s do that with four critters Brandon is feeding. Distance gives us less pressure, so we’re as…
Present
I have to share one of my Christmas presents with you. I asked for this item… a kindling splitter! Oh, sure, you can use a hatchet or axe to split your pieces down into kindling… but my aim has never been good with those, so I turned to this reverse operation. Place your log on…
Sheep and Wool
Today I attended a Women in Agriculture meeting entitled All About Wool. I freely admit I know practically nothing about sheep and wool. I’ve used wool from the roving stage in crafts including my wool covered soap “stones”, my wet felting of slippers, mittens, and a hat, my needle felting wool on felted wool Christmas…
#TBT: Wordless Wednesday: Friends, v.2.0
This was first posted January 4, 2012. I was talking about this the other day. No one lights up this pump jack anymore, and I miss it! For my not quite so Wordless Wednesday… a poem! **** On a dark Wyoming hill sits a pump jack all alone. Red lights shimmer upon it and give…
Wordless Wednesday: Prickly One
Ready for a tough prickly puzzle? Here you go.
Ice, Ice, Baby
As most of Wyoming is digging out from a nice dose of snow, the storm, once again, missed us, giving us two inches the past couple of days. Not that I wanted more, but I’d prefer snow any day over ice. The trip to my chicken coop is a hazardous walk twice a day. Thank…

New Birthday
Happy New Year’s Birthday to Vernon! I spent half the day cooking and the rest visiting and eating and playing games. Here’s to many more!
Happy New Year
From me and mine to you and yours, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Good Look
*All photos by Barrie Lynn Bryant* The saga of my photos entered in the Big Horn Basin documentary project is winding down. After traveling around the Basin on display in various venues, Barrie Lynn Bryant, director, has escorted them to their home with the Wyoming State Museum. Recently, they were put on display in the…
#TBT: Long Shot, v.2.0
This was first posted December 27, 2011. The guys have been going out regularly to our badlands pasture… every 5 days to open waterholes… and almost everyday to kick the cows off the fence. With the snow and lower temperatures, they yearn to drift in to the hayfields and beg for hay. It’s a big…
