The Old Shell Store
I know some of you are not Instagram people… but I’m a fan. I follow artists and locals and craftspeople and cowboys and metal detectorists and amazing women and NASA and National Geographic. They post amazing photos and short sentences… sometimes short videos… and I pretty much enjoy it all. If you’re “local-ish”, and follow…
Little Q&A
I’ve had some good questions in my comment section lately, so I thought I’d take the time to answer them. Joan: Your prose is beautiful. You could write a book about your cattle adventures! You’ve probably covered this before, but the partner cows belong to neighbors that share the pasture? Thanks so much! I might…
Re-Red: August 9 – August 15, 2020
This turned out to be quite a long video! This week covers: a friend’s colt, gathering cattle and vaccinating calves, commentary from the littlest cowgirl, our sor-dan field (a sorghum/sudan hybrid), a visit to The Lodge at Willard Springs, wildlife, stacking small bales, and a tremendous sunset. I hope it isn’t too long… and I…
The Lodge at Willard Springs
Last week, we took a special little trip… While Vernon might make it up here snowmobiling once, twice, three times a winter… I don’t seem to make it very often in summer. Not that I don’t like to visit! It’s a gorgeous place… perfect for a get away… a reunion… a wedding. Just so long…
Clear Blue Skies
The talk of the past few days… Here’s a photo I took some weeks ago. Here’s the one I took today. Smoke from all over the west, California, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon has enveloped Wyoming. Not that we don’t have our own fires. Facebook has been full of everyone posting photos of the sun. A…
#TBT: Hours Away, v.2.0
We had to move cows today… the 99 pair we trailed here… Somehow my disorganized self couldn’t remember to recharge the batteries in my little OOPE camera… and there was NO WAY I would pack my big camera on a day like today! So…Your imagination will have to work today. This pasture doesn’t belong to us……
Wordless Wednesday: “Beautiful, Bravo!”
I’ve never used this setting on my camera… but wow, it does bump up the color! For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE.
Little Bales
As I continue doing my things around here, the grandkids, the garden, the house, and a craft or two… the guys are still working. We try to take Sundays off, but sometimes it’s only half a day. Everyone irrigates. Irrigation continues morning and evening, especially with this stifling heat. Someone usually checks on cows, hauling…
Pink Blossoms
I went creek stomping the other day, a term we used at Girl Scout camp – just a fun way to stay cool on these very hot days. My fish pond and goldfish are doing quite well. The fish look like they’re on a high carb diet and have gained and grown! The pond does…
Re-Red: August 2 – August 8, 2020
This week’s Re-Red covers a little creek fun, fire fighting and thunderstorms, the trip Quinlan, Jaxon, and I took to Fort Phil Kearny, tie-dying towels, a half-marathon runner, picking chokecherries, and the Ten Sleep Fish Hatchery.
Virtual Longmire Days
Cleaning house, folding clothes, organizing… life isn’t very exciting the past couple of days. Normally, I’d be flying over to Buffalo to hang out with author Craig Johnson and the cast of Longmire for Longmire Days. Of course, this year it was cancelled. Well, no, it wasn’t CANCELLED, it went virtual. On YouTube and Zoom,…
