Since some of you are suffering through a heat wave… This goes back to 1930’s? winter time… snow on the ground… Herefords on the hill. (Thanks to J.A.G. – who posts old family photos so I can steal some of them and post them here!)

Third
Well, I told Tess about the great wildflowers, and we decided it was perfect for Lacee’s third birthday photos… I loaned her my old cowboy hat… and I gotta say, the girl rocked my hat!
#TBT: Buffalo Bill Museum
A photo postcard from the Buffalo Bill Museum… no date. Very interesting to locals as it is now composed of five different museums… The Buffalo Bill Museum, Whitney Western Art Museum, Cody Firearms Museum, Draper Natural History Museum, and The Plains Indian Museum. Definitely a worthy stop if you’re traveling to Yellowstone Country and Cody,…
#TBT: Two Cowboys
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. …
