Brandon, accompanied by Lorelei, had just stopped by to turn off my water temporarily. Lorelei had mentioned she had wanted to go shooting her .22. She is in the middle of taking hunter safety with her 6th grade class and is enjoying it tremendously. While I was giving them some eggs, I received a text…

Meet Roxie
Well, we met my new rooster yesterday, (still no name), but today I’ll introduce you to Daniel’s new puppy. This is Roxie. 9 week old, Australian Shepherd. They had been looking for a new dog as their other female Aussie was getting old. Poor Tina disappeared a few weeks ago without a trace. They searched…
Birthday
Happy birthday, Quinlan! How did this happen so fast? The Northern Lights came out to play on your birthday… maybe not the best photo ever, but you can see the Big Dipper and Polaris quite well!
Okay Then
Gathering our heifers today… We had most of them in the corner and were waiting for Tess And Daniel to show up, hopefully, with more heifers. Our view was blocked by the hillside. Lorelei laughingly said if she was a bit taller, she could see them. There followed a discussion of good horses and good…
Fun
The girls and I had a fun few hours…
A Few Favorites
A few of my favorite photos from the moving-the-cows day. Reagan and Panama looking like old hands. Well, technically, I guess Panama is! Lacee turns back a cow. A neighbor’s bull wants to join in our parade. I had to sit here in my sxs and act intimidating until he lost interest, but he never…
Good Crew
Two days of working cows and a night spent on the mountain… I met the cowboys after they’d gathered the Bayer Creek Pasture. I rode along for a while… I have to say, the kids are getting to be great help… Yes, they still goof around and chatter and are, well, kids, but they zoom…
Cheer
GOODNESS. It’s not only Back to School Time, it’s also Back to Sports Time. I missed the little girls’ volleyball game yesterday, as I took my sister and nephew for a quick picnic up on the mountain before he had to head back to Texas today. Then today: No pics of Wyatt. Jaxon is number…
Throwback Thursday: Boysen Dam, v.2.0
This was first published August 31, 2015. For any Wyoming history buffs out there… Here are two photos I found interesting. Boysen Dam is south of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Construction began in 1946. It is a rockfill dam, eventually reaching a height of 220′ and length of 1,143′. The crest of the dam is 30′ wide,…
Double Digits
Gah! Meant to take a photo today… The most recent one will have to do… August 22, two 22 year olds got married… 44 years ago! Guess how old we are? It’s the year of the double digits! Happy anniversary to us!
August 10
Happy, happy birthday to my youngest!
Mission
With the wildfire last week, my last fair entry for the kids wasn’t written… and now Victoria’s kids have competed in their county fair… so, I’m definitely behind! My plan was to try to make a video, but my first obstacle was not enough room to download the videos from my camera. Maybe someone someday…
