We’ve tried to take his birthday photos, but it’s snowed and blown, and it’s been COLD… but we finally *did* have his birthday party. He chose a cowboy theme… Huh. Where did he get that idea? Dunno. But it sure looks good on him! Happy eighth birthday, Jaxon!
Re-Red: November 1 – November 6, 2020
Covering the week of November 1 – November 6, 2020, this video includes my daughters-in-law helping me out with some ranch photography… and being silly… collecting rocks along the creek and doing some creative wrapping/decoration on them. Gathering and sorting cows. Showing off the impressive wood pile from taking down some of our giant cottonwoods….
Wood Haulers
The chick raising area is no more. The boards have been removed. Quinlan was happy to use a ratchet driver to back out the screws for me. Then we started hauling wood. Well, that won’t last long. We went to get some more. This pile has been aging for a few years now… and should…
Calendar 2021
It’s ready and on its way… my calendar! It does look a bit different. My usual place I’ve ordered from in the past has changed their format and I’ve decided to use a different company. I’ve used them before, and I know they’ll do well. BUT… You need to order directly from me, you can’t…
#TBT: Once Again, v.2.0
This was first published November 11, 2009. It breaks my heart to see puppy noses from the past, knowing that Rimrock English Shepherds just cannot catch a break when it comes to raising puppies. I also look at these photos and smile, for I do have some wonderful memories of raising puppies. Dally and her…

Bear Board
Progress on the bear. Drilling holes for the cribbage board back and wood staining are left to do…
Cattleguard Cleanout
Twenty degrees with a slight snow falling… This morning was cold and not-so-pleasant. After lunch the sun did come out, although it only got up to 26 degrees, and I pulled myself away from crafting to go get some fresh air and photos! I ran into Vernon and Daniel and a neighbor working on our…
Sort The Cows – Video
Honestly, I didn’t take enough photos for a typical Re-Red video this week! Neverfear… after all the cow work we did, I decided to make just a video on cow sorting. Sounds simply enthralling, right? Now, cow sorting is often when, if stories are to be believed, tempers run short and people end up yelling…
Trail-Sort-Trail
While I was working at the library, they brought the cows down to the place we call “The Double Crossing”. The name stems from the old wagon road that had to cross the Nowood twice right here. The modern highway doesn’t cross the creek at all, thanks to big dirt moving machines. You often are…
Simple Stones
I spent the day trying to find my house underneath all my junk. Clean clothes, dirty dishes, cardboard boxes saved to use for stencils, and piles of junk mail. Once I got my kitchen clean, I turned around and made a dessert to go with supper. Well, the kitchen was clean for half an hour……
#TBT: Living the Dream, v.2.0
This was first posted November 1, 2009. Another day of cow work…What are we? Ranchers? Oh…yeah…The cows we fought to put in the Ritchie pasture last night were gathered this morning. <Daniel and Vernon are both visible – if you squint – in this photo> Dally was chosen for the long-ish day of work. Elsa…
