This week in review for Red Dirt in My Soul covers gathering the pasture by my house with the help of the little kids… The next day was our big trail up the mountain, starting at dawn. The cows were ready to go and it felt like I had little time for photos! It ended…
Ranch Scouts
Earlier this summer, the little girls couldn’t go to Girl Scout camp because we were super busy. I figured I’d give them Girl Scout camp right here. Raising the flag. It’s a tad difficult to have a real flag ceremony with two girls and a two year old… Time to set up camp! Girl muscles…
#TBT: STUPID People, v.2.0
This was first written and posted August 2, 2009. I have to say this made me laugh when I re-read it. I was very cranky! I’m not really sure if I should title this entry STUPID People, IGNORANT People, or MEANSPIRITED MISLED BLANKETY BLANK People. I always heard it was better to be ignorant…that just…
Wordless Wednesday: “Yarrow Field”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go here. For those who may not have noticed, I *did* post a puzzle last week called “Lined Out”.
2020’s Next Challenge
I probably should have written this a month ago… but, hey, I didn’t. What can I say? LIFE is crazy. With all the grasshoppers, drought conditions, and all the rest of the world going crazy, this came along and surprised us with something new. I’ve said for years that our forests are just T-H-I-S close…
Reins For Everyone!
Somehow, along the way… I decided that I would make a set of braided reins for each grandchild. My thought was that when they grew up, they would each have a full sized set of reins and say, “My grandmother made these reins for me!” I decided I better get myself in gear and complete…
Re-Red: July 12 – July 18, 2020
This is a longer video… the last day was the Kids’ Rodeo down in Ten Sleep, and I had to include everyone, right? So if cute kids won’t brighten your day, you can stop when you see Jaxon presenting the flag at the beginning of the rodeo. The rest of the video is moving cattle……
Found It
Last week I spoke of introducing my grandkids to Little House on the Prairie. I also let the girls try on the prairie dress I had made back in 1990 for Wyoming’s centennial celebration. I had made one for Victoria as well, who was six that year. Well, I couldn’t find it, but I’m such…
Going Up
A few photos from the mountain trail.
Lined Out
I couldn’t keep my eyes open Tuesday, nor Wednesday night either. I literally fell asleep simply posting the photo last night. Too many early mornings and hard work. Yesterday was our big trail up the mountain. It’s a big event every year. Since we’ve been riding almost everyday for two weeks, it felt even bigger….
