A Throwback Thursday post that’s a little mixed up. Here’s Johnny roping and dragging a calf during a branding in July of 1961… And here’s Johnny at our branding in June of 2018… with grandsons holding the calf and granddaughter giving vaccinations. (and great-grandson hidden behind his mom). You’re awesome, Johnny! and we LOVE YOU!

#TBT: May Snow
I recently received some old family photos… and scrolling through them on my computer, it was hard to choose which to share first. I finally decided on this series of three pics taken May 4, 1929. Now we’re just rolling into June of 2018, so these are 89 years old. They belonged to Wyoma Pyle,…
#TBT: Backstory
I’d like to know the backstory here… Work’s over… time to listen to some music? Instruments of choice? You work, we’ll play! What do you think? *Picture from negative, no date, no names*
#TBT: Kinda Sorta
To switch it up a bit from those classic black and whites of long ago ranching… This #tbt is actually from May 2018’s English Shepherd calendar. So current, but not… You might just recognize Miss Dally and Daniel. The photo is two years old. Hope you’re keeping everyone from having fun in heaven, Dally! You…
#TBT: Stacking Hay
From a negative.
#TBT: Hereford Branding
No date. Branding Herefords.
#TBT: Tiny House and More
I admit. While I like seeing the “new” tiny home tv shows… and the builder’s creativity… I always ask myself… Why didn’t they just buy a RV or house trailer or… sheep wagon!? This photo, with two dapper men, a sheep wagon, a spare wagon, team, and riding horse, and perhaps the photographer’s car, pose,…
#TBT: Negative Help
This #tbt is a bit different. I saw on the internet the other day, an easy way to view negatives… and I have a lot of old negatives! Using a light table, which I have, thanks to my friend, J., simply place the negatives on the light table. If you have an iPad, it has…
#TBT: “First Born Cradleboard”
A Throwback Thursday of my daughter, Victoria, asleep in the cradleboard I made for her. I still have it, of course, I used it for the boys as well. I really didn’t know what I was doing when I made this… but it served us well for many years!
#TBT: Deep Creek Photo
I thought I would share this photo from the Farmers Lumber calendar as well. Deep Creek is a few miles away from here, but many of the people are well-known early settlers of the Ten Sleep area.
#TBT: Calendar Cowboys
In among collected old photos was this calendar from 1965. The photo’s caption is “Roundup Crew on Nowood River – 1908”. While not directly linked to us, there are many degrees of interest here. In 1908, the Greets were still on their homestead on Spring Creek, but one year later, they would move to our…
#TBT: Long Gone
Today’s #tbt picture is from the 1980’s… The thing that stood out to me besides the neighbor’s Hereford cattle, was the barn. This barn now is nothing but a few bottom boards. It slowly collapsed in over the years, weighed down by winter snow and time. We still help our neighbor at this corral, but…
