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…

I Usually Don’t Share This…
So, as I’m getting ready for work this morning, I asked Vernon what his plans were for the day. “Bringing the cows off the Mesa.” What? Waaaaaa… I don’t normally work Mondays. Here it was, the most gorgeous day… and I miss moving cows for some inside work. Rats. Rats. Rats. I quickly text Megan…
Ranch Life Revisited
We revisit the week of October 18 – October 24, 2020. The week covered pumpkin carving, fog laying in the Big Horn Basin, goldfish transfer, a big snowfall with grandkids sledding while their parents were on the mountain gathering cows, the beginning of the bear wood burn, and some of our horses enjoying their fresh…
Halloween
Oh, these kids… The prairie girls. The cavalryman. Their hero! That’s the Viking girl, Astrid, from How To Train Your Dragon. Plus… a zombie… Megan has a great photo of Lorelei, and, believe me, she is a Viking you don’t want to mess with! Somehow, it didn’t transfer to my phone… I hope you had…
Quiet
Well, two days of library work… then today I helped a friend unload a shipping container storage unit and haul it to her house. That means there’s not a ton of “ranch” photos and activities I’ve been involved in. I stayed up late with Tess last night sewing last minute Halloween costumes, because, of course,…
#TBT: Cow Work, v.2.0
This was first posted October 31, 2009. Today, again, was filled with cow work…The cows we brought down yesterday were scattered far and wide this morning. They didn’t like where we put them… Not enough grass… Not where they wanted to be… So they left… Well, some left… These were up on the hill…trying to…

Q&A Video
Another video. Maybe I can post twice a week? One that’s photos and videos accompanied by music… my “Re-Red” videos… and maybe one where I’m talking… I can do Q&A sessions, teach a craft, share my wisdom (insert laughing here!) or just talk… Today’s the first attempt at that. To kick it off, I went…
Bear Burn
Yes, I should only be braiding reins. Yes, I should just finish painting up the rocks I have collected. No, I probably should not have started a wood burning project… but, I did. Frigid days are perfect for indoor crafting! This little guy belonged to a friend… and he was looking a tad bit rough….
Ranch Recap and Remembrance
Red Dirt In My Soul, a photographic journal of Wyoming ranch life, covers fall scenery, the Hunter Fest, a building project, and moving cattle off of the mountain top in disagreeable weather. This video covers the week of October 11 – October 17, 2020. It also includes a remembrance of “Eden” who died October 12….
