Recently we’ve just all gone separate ways, Brandon is often fixing fence on the mountain, or putting out salt and mineral. Daniel is cutting hay. Vernon is repairing things and trying to combine the oats with a too-old swather. I’m trying to finish up painting my house. I started it last summer, then somehow didn’t…

Edward H. Stoll Award
I’d like to quote the US National Weather Service, Riverton, Wyoming because my father-in-law, Johnny, won an award today! They said everything quite well! “We were truly honored today to present a special award to Mr. John Greet of rural Ten Sleep for his 50 years of service as a volunteer cooperative weather observer. Mr….
Reminiscing
My father-in-law, Johnny, had an older brother James E. Greet, who wrote down some of his “reminisces” in 1991. I glance at the book every once in a while, and I always enjoy his tales about this Red Dirt Country. “There was the summer that the folks lived on the mountain claim with my older…
Helpers
The last bunch of cows is now on the Mesa Pasture! Yippee! Of course, that also means that we will have our BIG trail drive on Tuesday to take them to our Mountain Pasture. That means we will pack up for a snack and big picnic lunch…which means I need to go shopping tomorrow… ick! …
Fishing Video
Fishing from Carol Greet on Vimeo. (Not his best cast, but the best I got on video!) **** Last chance for questions! Post them here…
Rainstorms Dance
It looks like my tipi post has inspired some great questions… but I’ll give it a couple of more days for another question or two to come in as well! Today we blasted our way over the mountain to Matthew’s dedication in Kaycee. After church, Victoria hosted us at the park, with a great playground…
Wyoming’s 125th
I had a story to tell with lots of photos… unfortunately, the internet doesn’t seem to be very cooperative tonight! I’ll try that tale again tomorrow! I had a very busy day trying to mow and weed eat everything I could… but then tonight, I had to take a young man and his Spiderman fishing…
Mother’s Day
Still no chicks… rats! I thought it would be perfect if they arrived on Mother’s Day! We did get snow… not much, but there’s plenty of wet slush in the rest of the Cowboy State. Here, it really started just up the road… My lilacs may feel this storm… I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s…
Happy Birth Day
We’d like to welcome grandchild #7 to the fold! Matthew Lawson Davis joins his twin brothers Waylon and Wyatt Davis. He was born six hours before his scheduled C-section… an overachiever? He was a healthy 7 pounds, 11 ounces and 21″ long. Everyone is doing fine. Like his brothers, the parents prefer his face not…
Family Operation
It’s a busy time around here… We can put cows out on our BLM allotments now, so the guys have been working on that, and finally, today, I actually got to ride along! Yesterday was a process day… and everyone was there to help. Here’s Johnny working the alleyway, and four of his great grandchildren…
Sweet Easter
I hope you found some happiness, or something sweet! on this Easter Day!
Still Cook
Sometimes having all these outbuildings is a blessing… and sometimes a curse. It means you have room to store STUFF, which means you have a tendency to store STUFF. Honestly, I’m not too ashamed (most of the time) to dig out some old toys for my grandkids instead of buying something new, because in all…
