Minute Movie: Elk Bugling on the Bar C
The breeze lifted the eerie, beautiful sound to Panama’s ears. He halted, unsure. His nostrils flared, and every muscle was gathered. Should he run? Ears intently forward, his eyes peered into the rising sun. Other sounds to his left captured his focus, he looked and whinnied. Two other horses and riders appeared by the large…
Live With It
Hmmm. On yesterday’s entry, I saw 7 comments… figured I was spammed! But, no! You were nice enough, once again, to encourage me, this time to write another kids’ book! Something with a ranch twist to it, instead of a dairy “feel”. Well, I have done that once… That’s how this blog turned into Red…
Pet Peeve #532
Pet peeve #532. So fifty feet away from Quinlan and I, is a corral full of commercial Angus… and I have to read a “farm” book to my grandson where all the cows are spotted. Please, someone write a kid’s book where there are BEEF cattle represented! Sigh. **** September 16, 2011 Eggs and Tomatoes…
Two and One
Their first preg testing weekend… didn’t get much work out of these three… (Yes, two in the stroller, one in the backpack!) **** September 15, 2011 Introducing… September 15, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – “And the Sky Is Not Cloudy All Day” September 15, 2009 Sale Barn September 15, 2008 Gotta Go (Yup.

Git ’em!
Long day. Great morning… riding through the trees… listening to elk bugle! Took video, it’s dusty and noisy with wind and camera noise, but if you pay attention, you definitely hear those bulls bugling and grunting. No time to upload it, though, after getting home, I started cooking for tomorrow’s big day. Maybe in a…
Wordless Wednesday – “Old Trails. New Hat.”
For WW, Old Trails. New Hat. **** September 12, 2011 How Does He *DO* This? September 12, 2010 Four Minutes of My Day (a popular entry!) September 12, 2009 Photoshop Playday September 12, 2008 No entry.
Upon the Ground
The gate post was wrapped in smooth wire. The barbed version was saved for the gate and connected fence. Tacked with fence staples was an decrepit sign, illegible due to occasional rain, fiercely driven snow, and brutal wind that sandblasted the words into the cosmos. Although this day was respectable, she’d met each variety of…
Quick Shot
Up the mountain we went today! These cows have been in what we call “The Partnership” pasture. This time of year is a bit late to be headed UP the mountain, but with our overabundance of larkspur in our mountain pasture (it’s kinda pretty, but deadly poisonous to cattle, until it’s dried up) we have…
Always Exciting
So the excitement of the day? Daniel came running over from the shed, looking for me and my dogs… a black bear was coming down the highway and crossed the cattle guard on the road into my house! I was working on my studio but came out to see the ruckus, my dogs went crazy,…
Minute Movie: Moose!
Vernon and I went to Deer Haven Lodge last night for our anniversary dinner. The New York Strip was excellent… well, it all was, even the salad! Instead of heading straight home, Vernon decided to take a drive up to West Ten Sleep Lake… a popular campground. Evening was falling and the scent of rain…
Wordless Wednesday – “Moo…se!”
For WW… An echo of the entry from the other day… Moo has become Moo…se! Seen tonight near Deer Haven Lodge, Big Horn Mountains, Wyoming! **** August 22, 2011 Thirty Years August 22, 2010 The Job Is Finished (bleh, I remember this day!)
