With semi-nice weather, Vernon was hoping to not have any sick calves. When he came home to get a bottle of milk replacer, I asked to help, and Bravo and I rode along in the pickup. Taking a dog along to new calves is usually not recommended, but I planned to leave Bravo in the…
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…
As The Years Go By
When any grandkids go along on an ”adventure” with me, we usually find a treasure. A cool rock. A feather. A weird stick. An antler. But when Vernon’s driving, we go zoom. From one place to another. I’m more of a wanderer since it’s easier to spot treasures that way. Riding in the side by…
#TBT: Highway 2.0 Views, part 1 and 2, v.2.0
These were first published in March and April of 2011. Tonight you get a two for one! The thing I enjoy the most while traveling, is just to see how other people live. Now, granted… central Nebraska is not that far removed from central Wyoming… but I still noticed a few things. Like…
Wordless Wednesday: “Wyoming Spring”
Wow… that’s what happens when I’m falling asleep… I forgot to link the puzzle here. Duh. Go HERE. And thanks for commenting and letting me know I fell down on the job!
Sunday Drive
Spring fever has hit. Dry roads. Warm weather. Tinges of green. After Vernon finished his feeding duties and we’d grabbed lunch, we were in the side by side for a Grand Tour. We didn’t make it far. The mountain road is still slushy and drifted with snow, though the warmth of the sun was working…
Spring Jobs
I awoke to a cloudy morning… and a plan. I’ve neglected my pantry for a while and had decided to reorganize it. Since it doubles as a store room, it wasn’t going to be easy. That room has been a mess since Christmas, as I was determined to haul the majority of my Christmas decorations…
Eh, Not Bad
Continuing my project from yesterday… My garden barrel has been measured, drilled, and sawed. Go HERE to see how that was done. Now begins the slower work of forming the cups that will hold each plant. I borrowed Vernon’s little propane torch. I heated the barrel in a slightly squished circle by my marked lines….
New Project
I’ve been stumbling along through YouTube videos, lately fixated on garden ideas. Somewhere, this website popped up on my feed. It talked of an amazing garden tower and I became fascinated. This garden tower was the size of a fifty five gallon drum with various slotted cuts on it. Nothing too earth shattering, but there…
It’s Nice
Honestly. 57 degrees today. 70 something predicted for Sunday and Monday then back to the 40’s with moisture on Tuesday. It’s hard on the baby calves… these temperature swings. But it is what it is… and besides, like Vernon said today… it’s nice to wear shoes again. Wearing snow boots or muck boots is amazingly…
#TBT: Sex and the Country, v.2.0
This was first posted March 28, 2011. I almost didn’t post this, as I’ve shared it multiple times… but it makes me laugh… this and the few posts before and after. My trip to Nebraska for a dog breeding was memorable! (part two) So, I’d done the Matchmaker part… checking pedigrees and working…
