Hello, ye drivers of automobiles! ’Tis time to warn you, once again, of the great travail that plagues the asphalt byways of this fair country. Yea, verily, ’tis time for the fine folk in this vicinity to take part in their normal transhumance rounds. On every road, except those in the Federal Interstate System, you…
#TBT: ”Sleep Well”, v.2.0
This was first published June 3, 2011. Well, while my rhubarb cobbler is bubbling away, I’ll say a few words… Time is tight with the branding set for tomorrow. I flew to town this morning and bought groceries, returning after lunch and I’ve been cooking ever since! Of course, this year I’ve had…

Looking at You, Girl
So it begins. AI. I spent the day, yes, a full 12 hours, in Worland with Brandon today. It was the first day of Artificial Insemination with our heifers. True to standard operating procedure, we showed up early to see what was going on. Nothing. Nothing was going on. Throughout the day, we alternated between…
Blessed Rain!
It started raining last night, just as predicted. it’s rained all day just as predicted. It’s 10 pm and it’s still raining and we’ve measured 1.93” so far! That’s pretty impressive! I also just watched two vehicles start driving up the mountain on the dirt (mud) road… a car and a pickup. Hopefully, we won’t…
Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir, Three Bags Full
I think I swore I’d never make another one. Yet, here I go again. While contemplating what we were going to buy Daniel for his birthday, I proposed a new saddle pad. In the back of my mind, I thought, I *do * have all that wool downstairs still… Did I have the latchhook canvas?…
Kickstart
Wyoming meteorologists agree that a big storm is on the way… bringing snow above 8000’ and rain to the rest of us. I rushed to get the majority of my garden seeds in the ground. I’ll hold off on the tomatoes and peppers until the snow is gone! The hardest part was my Ruth Stout…
Up On Top
We went up on the mountain today, clear up on top. With these late storms, the big snowdrifts still lay lazily across the road. More snow is predicted up high for Sunday night, so they’ll be there for a while yet. With the side by side, we could manage the two tracks that cut away…
#TBT: “Infrastructure”, v.2.0
This was first posted May 24, 2011. A Lesson On Infrastructure. “Infrastructure is the basic physical and organizational structures needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.” Even to me, it was very obvious that this bridge had sustained damage in the floodwaters of a few days ago. Where before…

Setting Out Pipe
My plans were shifted around this morning, as clouds moved in, the wind blew, and a small rainshower hung around. Later, though, the sun tried to shine between the clouds… and Brandon and family decided to get the irrigating water ready for the fields. It also means that I have water for my lawn, so…
