It’s not much of a scene without an explanation. This is one of our feed grounds, where we spread hay for the cattle this winter. The hay that was tromped into the snow is matted. The piles of manure litter the ground. However, if you look closely, a swath of ground has been drug. Dragging…
Plain Weird
It was sunny. And warm. And not windy. What kind of Easter weekend *is* this? It’s just plain weird! Nevertheless, we carried on as best we could… forced to eat home made pizza while dyeing eggs *outside* on Tess’ picnic table. We toughed it out as best we could. How many kids this weekend dyed…
#TBT: Blooming Snow, v.2.0
This was first posted April 1, 2010. Sure enough, it is almost Easter… and so a snowstorm has hit! I went to Worland tonight to a Pet First Aid Class… and decided to take this photo of our mailbox as I drove in just half an hour ago. Though we only have 3 inches or…
Wordless Wednesday: “Shed Lines”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE.
Wind
Yesterday, multiple places in Wyoming had hurricane force winds. Today was much better, but boy, the wind still had a bite to it! Since Victoria and boys are here for part of spring break, they couldn’t hardly stand to wait for their cousins to get home from school. When they arrived, it became All Kites…
Pysanky Class
I taught a pysanky class at the Ten Sleep Library last night, came home and went to bed… laid there and thought, “I didn’t blog!”. I was too tired, so here I am this morning. A live video can be found on the Ten Sleep Library Facebook page if you’re so inclined.
Renewed
Small bursts of energy followed by “whoo, I’m taking a break.” Bravo is disappointed in the lack of a walk, my house still suffers from a pile of laundry and floors that I swept, but was too tired to go downstairs to retrieve the dustpan. I’m only partially ready to teach my pysanky class on…
Back Home
Well. Huh. I’ve had the most interesting few days. When you acquire one of these styles of drinking cups, you know you may not have had one of the best times… but the important thing is… I’m here and I’m feeling good thanks to wonderful people and technology. Ranch photo? Nope. Craft photo? Nope. Lay…
I’ve Been Busy
What do ranchers do in their spare time? Craft! I know I’ve shared some of these, but I made a video of all my latest…
Fire Bug
After finishing some new earrings and packaging some for shipment, I decided the afternoon needed to be spent outside. While it wasn’t a brilliant sunny day, it was warm-ish, overcast, and no breeze. I tagged along after Vernon. If a cow happened to be in my path, calving, hey, it’d be a win for you…
Ranch Life in February Video
I got out of the habit of making my Re-Red videos… making instead my Valentino, calving, work ethic, and mountain lion videos. So, today, I tried to catch up, covering most of the month of February. Since you’ve seen so much in the other videos… this one is fairly short. I feel better, though, and…
Quit That
Probably not the best position to nurse from… but acceptable. Acceptable if your mother is being nice. In this case, this heifer is not going to win any Mother Of The Year awards. She’s a first time mom, a little ignorant, and the pair is being kept in solitary confinement until their bond is solid…
