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…
Petunia
I’d like to officially welcome Petunia to the Greet Ranch. Petunia is Tess’ new Jersey milk cow! There hasn’t been a milk cow on the ranch since Vernon was a kid. One of the first things he told me when we got married, was that we weren’t ever getting a milk cow. Now, I’ve bought…
Birthday Presents
I get to share a couple of presents I’ve made recently… for my friend that loves sunflowers.
