This was first posted December 3, 2010. I don’t know if I should title this entry, “Panic” or “White Knuckles”. After falling asleep while trying to watch the National Finals Rodeo… I awoke to a dog’s snuffling nose at my bedside. Grabbing ten more seconds of warmth, I tossed back the covers and…

Cattle on the Go Video
This video covers from October 8 – 16, 2021. We preg test a small bunch at a leased pasture we call the Homestead. The old buildings are quite the scenic backdrop for my photos. Because the dirt road was too muddy for a pickup and horse trailer, we gathered our mountain pasture on four wheelers….
Squee!
I didn’t expect them to arrive so soon, but what a nice surprise to have waiting for me when I arrived home from decorating the library! I’ve just spoiled the surprise for my family… they all get one for Christmas… but I had to share!
Glow
As I was working on putting out Christmas decorations… in almost 60˚ weather, I might add… the sky began to glow. I had to run inside for my phone. It was just inside the door, I wasn’t going to waste light looking for my camera! There’s no filter going on here, just a bittersweet orange…

It’s the beginning of holiday season… and around here, it’s also the beginning of birthday season. It seems like we’re always celebrating someone’s birthday from November through January… Today, I got to take Reagan’s fourth birthday photos… Yeah. Tough duty.
New Tags

Thanksgiving
Headed to bed and realized I hadn’t posted… I should have had Brandon take another cool ceiling shot when we all sat down to eat, but I forgot… in fact, I think I took four photos today! Oh, well, we made a good memory instead. I hope you enjoyed your day.

Always a popular Christmas party to attend, with items of all kinds to bid on and support the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library. Plus…
Cattle Work on the Ranch Video
I tried something different this time, I narrated the clips and photos for this latest video. Finding music, creating transitions, and that work takes TIME. This is a bare bones version, no background music. Just me jabbering. I do mis-speak a couple of times, but I just left it in… along with the “uh” and…

Oh, this alcohol ink stuff is addictive… And I even have more…
