Butcher’s Foothills Elsa

Posted on February 17, 2013October 29, 2014

English Shepherds were unknown to me just a few years ago.  After purchasing Lucas from Mary Peaslee’s Shepherd’s Way, I soon discovered the dog I’d always desired.  Devoted, loving, able to work and able to relax… this dog would fit into ranchlife just perfectly. Fate intervened and Lucas was injured.  I honestly didn’t know if…

Oh, Else

Posted on February 16, 2013March 23, 2013

I roam this blog, in hunt for entries mentioning her name. Her photos appear just as softly as she moved along my side. But best of all,…

We’ll Smile

Posted on February 4, 2013October 29, 2014

Thanks for all the comments on yesterday’s “So God Made A Farmer” entry.  It was a well done, artistic, and moving commercial. In my book. And in the books of those of you who commented here yesterday, as well. As I read around the internet today, however, I was simply amazed at the opposite side.  The…

Huh, Guys?

Posted on January 31, 2013April 4, 2015

Vernon and I both made the same comment yesterday… that we hoped it would just keep on snowing until we got a foot of snow… And the Snow Gods listened… It snowed all day yesterday, throughout the night, and most of today. Here’s Lucas wishing me “Good Driving” on the way to work this morning. …

Halo

Posted on January 27, 2013April 4, 2015

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
