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…

Eye Roll Emoji Continued
(Continued from yesterday) We’d found the calf. Momma had hightailed it over a hill in search of it. Insert eye roll. Victoria and her son Matthew had quickly followed her trying to get ahead and turn her around. Turning a cow on foot isn’t easy, trying it in snow and mud makes it fairly impossible….
Eye Roll Emoji
Sometimes… cows can remember a hole in the fence they went through ages ago, sometimes… they can’t remember where they left their calf. Insert eye roll here. Was it on this side of the road or that side? Victoria and kids are here over spring break and when we finally arrived to see if the…
Spring Treats
Happy spring! A high of 57* yesterday, warm and blustery this morning, aaaaannnnddd now it’s snowing. Yup. Just when the mud was getting dried up… though, am I complaining about moisture? Heavens, no! My house was full today with Quinlan, Lorelei, and Megan… Megan’s washing machine is out of commission, and believe me, you need…
Great Reward
One more gorgeous day before the next storm arrives, so what would you like to do? Oh, there’s housework… but maybe something outside like gardening? Nope, still covered in snow… Maybe a hike… yeah, but let’s accomplish something. Aha! I gathered up Quinlan in the side by side and headed to get Jaxon. We stopped…
Comes Together
Lately it seems like the spectacular weather occurs on days when I’m working at the library or in town. Then a snowstorm will roll through with cold winds and dismal clouds leaving mud the consistency of tractor grease. Those days don’t appeal to me for walks. Then there are days like today… Retreating snow. Drying…
#TBT: Traffic Report, v.2.0
This was first posted March 17, 2011. Now for Wyoming State Highway 434… Traffic appears to be light today with surface conditions favorable. From milemarker 17 north to 15 you will find a few fresh patties, but otherwise dry… There are a few cattle northbound but WDOT doesn’t believe it will slow down…
