National Day of the American Cowboy. Most people don’t know the difference between a cowboy and a rancher and that’s ok. We’re still out here, backs bent, head down, teeth gritted, meeting whatever comes our way. We’re part of that 1.5% of the population feeding 330 million three meals a day. Sometimes it seems like…

Springtime Ranching Video
With the recent heat, it’s nice to watch the snow in this video from April 1 – 16! The False Spring continues and I burn a little extra weed patch along my garden fence. I put some grandkids to work, digging, cleaning, and dehydrating what carrots I have left over from winter. My husband works…
Still Calving Season Video
Finally! After months of being lazy, I got around to making another video! This one covers way back in March, the 21st through the 30th. I hope to crank out some more videos soon, just to catch up!
Ranch Calving Video
This video covers March 3 – March 20, 2022. Calving season is in full swing on the ranch. Each calf will get an eartag, and an ear mark (which is a square underbite) and will be banded if it is a bull calf. All of which D does at the beginning of this movie. The…
Garden Tower Video
Here’s the video I made about my “After the Bell’s” garden tower. Over two days, the kids and I assembled, filled with dirt, and planted our tower. Of course, there’s been snow on the ground, so it hasn’t spent any time in the sunshine, but it is together… Our center compost tower has only a…
Ranch Snippets Video
Sorry about last night… I had company and we stayed up LATE and visited… I finally made another video. I honestly haven’t taken that many photos except for Megan’s Sunflower Table and my class at the Ten Sleep Library… but the camera seems to be coming out of hibernation… so perhaps more videos will be…
Sunflower Table Video
You’ve all heard the story by now. Megan’s childhood table was sanded by her, wood burned/painted/stained/poly’d by me. She chalk painted the base to match her kitchen wall. It’s done. Enjoy the process!
Ranch Living Video
This short video tells of middle school basketball games with the grands, some alcohol ink crafting, our young bulls, an amazing sun pillar, Bravo reenacting Lucas’ award winning photo, and a short walk through the fields. Not a long video… but life is quiet here for now.
Beginning A New Year at the Ranch Video
My year started off with a bang when something exploded and burned my new wool sweatshirt. Vernon’s New Year’s birthday was followed by babysitting some of my grands where we always find adventure. We looked for two bulls in some big country and branded a few as well. A new hay feeder arrived and the…
Christmas on the Ranch Video
A compilation of activities around Christmas here on the ranch. This video covers from December 19 – December 27, 2021. A Christmas pageant, sledding, some alcohol ink art work gifts I made, more sledding, Johnny’s 91st birthday, Christmas lights and Christmas, horses and then that pesky unwanted visitor. She was scared away and so far…

Ranching in Big Country Video
Ranching in Big Country leads to many great landscape shots and this video is full of them. A glowing sunset kicks off this video and author Craig Johnson visits the Ten Sleep Library. Then more Big Country and the silence of the land. Moose and Ten Sleep Canyon, a short cattle drive on a very…
