Have you ever been in wet jeans? I mean like, “jump-in-a-swimming-pool” wet? Have you tried to peel them down your legs, or pull them back up? Then, have you tried to move? Like, bend your knees… think… getting on a horse in wet jeans. Think “Wet Saddle”. Think “having to get off your horse to…

Two Yucca Moon
I need to make a slide show of all my cloud photos… they’ve been spectacular lately. I’m trying to load some raw footage of some up on Vimeo quickly. No titles, no transitions… I will see how long that takes! I get so frustrated at the slowness of iMovie. I have tooooooo many videos… but…
Maybe
My apologies for last night. I was watching a show on Netflix… and it kept cutting out. I’d tell it to try again, and it would quit. Finally I gave up, came in to post, and my computer wouldn’t connect to the internet. After 11 pm, I don’t have a lot of patience. My new…
Squirt Guns in March
I think I may have done something today I have never done before on this date! Since all seven of the cousins were here, we cooked hotdogs over the campfire and had new squirt gun fights! (Not Matthew. He’s still only 10 months old. He can’t pull the trigger on a squirt gun yet!) I…
Wyoming Wind
Wind blows in Wyoming… 103 mph gust in Clark, Wyoming a day or so ago… 70+mph gusts in Casper, where I was raised… Today was NICE, with barely a breeze, but the few days before this were 50/50 days. Fifty degrees, fifty mph winds and just like that… the snow is GONE. Now, in Ten…
Finally
Our first snowfall here at the place… It’s well past time… and it’s still very easy to appreciate the beauty it brings. And, as usual, it’s a shock that four miles down the road, with the slight drop in elevation, the snow runs out. Look closely and you’ll see the snowline around the edge of…
Skyline Rainbow
Again. Smoke. Right by Rome Hill Road… and the boys take off. Vernon stays at home, just in case. Half an hour later… smoke about two miles away. Off he goes. The boys get alerted they might need to leave the other fire, where there are other tankers and fighters and come back closer to…
Big Trails Dispatch
Unfortunately, I had the chance to be Big Trails Dispatch once again. A small lightning storm blew through just after supper, with a few nice CRAAAAACKS on top of us. When the phone rings about two minutes later… your first response is “craaaaaaap”. (Sorry about the vulgarity there…) The guys soon rolled on to the…
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….
Soggy
Rain! Holy cow, it’s like we live in Seattle or something!! There’s local flooding around parts of the state… Thermopolis, Kaycee, and the creek is as full as it can get here. More rain and parts will start getting flooded. We had plans to give the heifers we are AI’ing their Lutalyse shot, but held…
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…
