We poured a little concrete today. Well, a truckful. Vernon and a local contractor jacked up the corner of the old welding shop that had fallen about a foot and a half. Remember me trying to find a flat area to weld my creations? Well, it’s repaired to some extent. This was just runny concrete……

Way Back
I recently received some old photos… and I LOVE old photos!

Quaint Character
Those calves we weaned yesterday? We vaccinated, weighed, and poured them today! We did, however, wait until after lunch as it was RAINING again this morning! YAY! About halfway through, Johnny switched with me, so I ran the scales! And I had that thought again… why can’t I remember Windex when we’re coming here? The…
Another Day Done
We preg tested and weaned our last little bunch today as well as helped the neighbors with theirs. We’ve leased some pasture from them, so it’s easy enough to do… You just have to play Shuffle the Cows! Gather our bunch, sort off the calves, start pregging and start hauling the calves away in the…
Minute Movie: Elk in the Field
I decided at the last minute to run down to our other place and see if the elk were in the field. They’ve been coming in lately, and I’d seen them last night. It seems when the alfalfa gets frozen, the wildlife really hit the fields! Since we’ve been down to 20º, I saw just…

Questions and Answers – October 2012 Edition
Well, I’m cruising along this evening, thinking I was forgetting something… la-ti-da… Then I set down here and it hit me! Q&A! Argh! TOTALLY forgot about it until just now… so let’s see how many I can answer before I fall asleep! Sara: Is there ever going to be any Lucas puppies again?? Oh,…
Again
Well, it did, indeed, snow on the Big Horns last night. The mountains were in clouds when I would think about taking a picture… or I was inside working… or I was headed west to Worland (and not thinking eastward!)… or it was too dark! So I’ve had to use another picture that DOESN’T include…

Cat – I Remember You Now!
Ten Sleep Library had Cat Urbigkit, author and photographer, for a Meet and Greet tonight. Since Cat lives 30 miles south of Pinedale, Wyoming, the library has all her books. If nothing else, Wyoming libraries support their state authors! Most of her books qualify as children’s books, and they’re popular. They are tales of sheep,…
Edited
Sometimes photos just don’t turn out… Sometimes the focus is out of whack… Sometimes it’s just not right. Sometimes photographic editing and creativity helps tremendously!
