Two cowboys pose in front of our bunkhouse… part of which you can see here, as well. Looks like it doesn’t even have its sod roof yet! No names. No date.

#TBT: Branding Dinner
Feeding the branding crew has always been a Big Deal. Everyone is working hard and has quite the appetite. This branding would have been on the top of the mountain, creating challenges of its own. Heat would be a campfire or what could be brought up in a wrapped pot to keep it as warm…
Party On
While other areas of Wyoming (and just up the road from here) are dealing with a foot or more of new snow… we, luckily, escaped this storm. That’s OK. There’s plenty of moisture around. The guys moved a few cows this morning… and then, we had the party for little miss Lorelei. Three. She’s three!…
#TBT: Working Team
A hired man drives the team raking hay on the Greet Ranch. 1920’s photo.
#TBT: Roundup Camp
Roundup camp, 1907, Bates Creek, Wyoming. Photo by Oscar Hoback. Notice the cowboys at rest under the canvas taken off the wagon.
Good Times
Snow in the morning… a gorgeous day by afternoon. Quinlan got off the school bus here, his parents late from returning from town. This kid loves to fish… and how can I resist… even with the creek up and muddy… that’s not the point! The grass was an incredible shade… We had an audience. No…
Hike Day
We all had spring fever today! Johnny drove out into the badlands, so did Vernon… different ways! Brandon moved dirt for his big project. Daniel and a friend went horn hunting. The girls and kids and I went for a hike. Jaxon found the name on the rock immediately! (G.H. Rebedeaux 1909) A little cliff…
Just Dandy
Because this photo is just Dandy. He wouldn’t come hug me at the calving shed yesterday because I have the rotten cold that’s been touring the Ten Sleep area as of late. He wouldn’t even take a brownie from me! So I took a picture of him. Yup, that’s my boy… Broncos cap. Check. Sunglasses. …
#TBT: Golden Rule Grocer Co.
I’m researching my family heritage… using different ways to decipher all the information out there besides just using ancestry.com. I’m presenting a Beginner’s Guide to Genealogy class in a couple of weeks, and figured a few examples of thinking outside the box might come in handy! I know for a fact my great grandfather, William…
#TBT: Saddle Up
No caption. No date. Just a bunch of cowboys saddling up next to the cook tent.
Hard Knock Life
I’ve been watching these two munchkins the past two days… We’ve managed to keep busy… including my little bout of cleaning where I tried to teach them the finer techniques of scrubbing floors. They did well, although I was overly concerned with the amount of water Lorelei kept applying to the floor. I guess I…
