A day of small adventure… Trying to do some foraging, but everyone has beat us to it… oh, well… a small hike with small people for a little fun!
Ancient Grains
I went out with Daniel on August 21 to check one of our fields. We had raised and baled oat hay off of it. Oat hay is simply hay made from oats that have not matured and created the oat seed that we love to eat. Since it is cut like you mow your lawn,…
What Is a Headstall? – video
Here’s a quick video to answer a question from a couple of weeks ago… After I posted a Throwback Thursday post telling about breaking a fancy headstall and ruining my day… many of you wanted to know, “What is a headstall?”
Longmire Auction
Remember this? It’s finally up for auction for Longmire Days happening this weekend over in Buffalo. This online auction event has two beneficiaries, National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center and the Johnson County Search and Rescue. You can bid on it and 44 other amazing items HERE.
Football
Today we attended Quinlan’s first football game. Yes, fifth graders can play football, and it seems like 5th graders made up half of the team. For some reason, Ten Sleep can’t seem to field a high school football team. We have the kids, but no interest, which is sad. My boys really enjoyed playing football,…
#TBT: “Fame and…”, v.2.0
This was first published September 2, 2010. For those of you who don’t Tweet…or follow me on Twitter…or read the little update in the left hand sidebar…I gotta brag (again). My photo of the storm cloud that hit Ten Sleep made the front page of the local paper. Of course, I sent it to them…and the National…

For a jigsaw puzzle of some cattle hiding in the trees, go HERE.
Under Wyoming Skies
It was soooooo horribly smokey today. All I had planned was a big giant grocery run to Worland, no scenic photos were taken. Good thing too, as visibility was the poorest I think I’ve ever seen. I stack all these smokey days against 1988 and the Yellowstone Fire. We had never seen the like, although…
Paradise
I have stayed up too late! Falling asleep and too tired… last photo of the day to keep everyone happy… just another day in Paradise.
The Variety in Ranch Life – video
Ranching always has a variety of jobs to do… range land monitoring, moving cattle, selling our yearling steers, tame mallards, semi-tame kittens, haying, and some wildlife. This video covers June 21 – June 30, 2021.
Adventure
Everyone else went up the mountain to gather heifers and take them to the home mountain pasture. That left me with five grandkids to watch today. Instead of hanging around the house, we had an adventure! Including my brother-in-law and sister, we formed quite the troop! My brother-in-law is a geologist, and he’s very knowledgeable,…
Fun Time
It’s been a couple of weeks, but I had to share one of the most fun days… I grew up hunting and fishing… but I gave up hunting since I have a freezer full of beef… and I gave up fishing since Vernon doesn’t like eating fish (and I’m too lazy to cook fish for…
