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…
Fourth
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
Today we did a smidge of work, retagging our heifers. The calculations have been done to choose which girls get their full membership here at Greet Ranch. Ancestry/genetics, calving due date, looks, size, weight gain, and which bull they’re bred to, all factor in to choosing them for permanent residents of our herd. The 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.
Wordless Wednesday: “Moss”

Coming Up
We’re happy to announce our Open House/Silent Auction is a GO for this year! We’ve had to cancel many of our library fundraisers, but we’re going ahead with this one! 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…
Procedures
It amazes me, year after year, when we PAP test bulls, that they figured this out! It’s an amazing procedure. I made a video about it years ago, you might want to watch. A quick poke and the needle lands in the jugular, often leaking blood from the mighty vein. A long catheter is threaded…
Fluffy Cows
In case you missed it online, fluffy cows was (is) a thing on the internet. Pampered, primped, and highly groomed show cattle’s photos have gone viral, often comparing them to teddy bears. They’re not, of course, they’re just groomed cattle like Westminster has groomed dogs. It’s for competition and show. Ask a kid who has…
#TBT: , Chapstick Day, v.2.0
This was first posted November 21, 2010. You don’t live long in Wyoming before you find out you NEED chapstick. It’s dry here. Humidity comes and visits, but rarely stays… at least not in the intensity that it exists around other parts of the country. So, there are two things I ALWAYS…
