Wow. I’m about to tip over, but had two things to share with you. Good News first or last? OK. Last. Bad News: This morning I found tiny little Rimrock Mesa (aka Mae) had passed away during the night. She was small, and then had a rough night, getting chilled, and, honestly, I couldn’t bring…

Two Deux
Whoa. It was HOT today. What better thing to do than work hard and stand by a branding barrel when it’s 92º outside! ? Yuck. I’m *still* drinking water. We had an excellent crew today to handle everything… Good ropers. Good wrestlers. Unfortunately, only enough time for me to take a few photos. Someday, I…
Crazy Week
Got to ride for a bit today, and since it was a short trip, I took Lucas along. Unfortunately, I was a bit late (another story…) and we had to trot a mile and a half to catch up to everyone. As you know, Lucas wears out easily… and I swung him by the creek…
Whew
Thank you, thank you, so much. Your kind words have meant a great deal… Dally is doing fine. A shot of oxytocin this morning just to make sure there was nothing left inside… and she’s happy being Momma. So… to the good news! Five puppies… 4 girls and a boy… and they seem like they’ve…
Three Tiny Heartbreaks
It was bound to happen sooner or later… In the words of my beloved veterinarian, “Do something long enough, you’re bound to run into problems someday.” Today was that day. On schedule, Dally started going into labor last night. I was excited. I was ready. Or so I thought. I really don’t want to rehash…

Shading
Instead of working on a Minute Movie for you starring the fox kits… I was busy. I drove 47 miles to get my hair done in Worland. And shopped. And shopped. And drove 47 miles home and unloaded. And changed clothes and reloaded my Durango. And drove 20 miles back to Ten Sleep. And decorated….
More Time
I can’t quite see it yet, and I know it’s out there… Someone has taken video of me and my siblings playing… but she needs to sit down and put it all together. I guess she needs more time. **** May 28, 2011 Who’s Hiding May 28, 2010 The Same Shade of Red May 28,…
Fingers Crossed
Artificial insemination. It’s what we do for our Memorial Day celebration. Our young heifers, the ones we’ll be calving out next spring, are busy, hopefully, getting pregnant this weekend. After much debate, and checking records, and discussions, and looking at lists… the guys decided which semen to buy, and which heifers would be a good…
Name of the Game
A little fox kit strikes a pose almost identical to a photo I took for the March 2011 entry on last year’s calendar… This time there are either 4 or 5 kits, although I never seem to catch them! Obviously, at least for those of you living in the general area, this wasn’t taken today! …
Snuggle In
After avoiding the “scattered thunderstorms” for a couple of days… the clouds settled in and finally blessed us with some moisture. The mountain is draped in white, and it is COLD. It’s 35º out there right now. I’ve built a fire and yanked another blanket on the bed. I managed to do some outside work…
