Trail Them Home
I know I shouldn’t wait until late to write, but it seems like I always do. We spent two days riding, gathering the badlands. We are missing just a few, and Vernon and Daniel searched again today and found a couple that belong to some neighbors but not us. There’s many a hidey hole out…
Tomorrow
They gathered the badlands today. I babysat and took them lunch. Once again I sit here nodding off… More tomorrow.
Back at It
It’s time to pull the cows and steers off of BLM land. They’re in the Willow Creek Pasture. That’s a close pasture to the Home Place, so Jaxon and Quinlan were lucky enough to play cowboy. We did a bit of back and forth, going out, gathering, bringing them back, and heading out for more….
Gardening in Wyoming
Well, I had held off planting my tomatoes for quite a while… we’d had a few cold mornings later than usual, but I finally planted them. Here it is… two weeks later or so… and, son of a gun, it froze the other morning. The stems don’t really seem to be frozen, just the leaves……
Regenerative Workshop
Megan, Brandon, and I attended a workshop put on by UW Ag Extension. Around 40 people attended, which is excellent because June is one of the busiest months for ranchers and farmers around here. The main speaker was Alejandro Carrillo from Chihuahua, Mexico. His basic idea is that intensive mob grazing by cattle followed by…
#TBT: ”Greatest Inventions”, v.2.0
This was first published June 19, 2011. About 3 am, I felt yukky. About 4 am, Vernon awoke to get ready to ride and gather our steers (who sell tomorrow on Northern Livestock Video Auction). About 4:45, he and Brandon left and I remained on the couch. Miserable and, now, guilty as well….

Ah, Well…
It happened years and years ago. Victoria says she remembers it, but I doubt my boys do. The rains were tremendous in the spring… and we drove out for a picnic into the badlands. Wildflowers were everywhere. Just fields of paintbrush… I took some old VHS movies of the kids and the flowers. Driving out,…
Surprise!
(Last night, I was tired and fading fast… I couldn’t find my picture i wanted to post, my eyes were slamming shut and my internet kept wafting in and out. Finally, I just quit and left it all!) A loon! Really. While I know they’re supposed to be around Yellowstone, I haven’t ever seen one…
Random
Just a few random pics… Dandelions are having a great year. Narrow trails and smart horses… The Ant Hill just erupted! This hill, the Ant Hill, has a fantastic cloud behind it and it reminded me of a volcano… A blue heron circles above us, irritated at disturbing their nest.
