I did it! Yay! This week’s Re-Red Week in Review starts off with a Mormon cricket, the big elk herd everyone has been waiting for, fixing fence with the cool new staple gun and the old way of hiking with a bucket and hammer…mountain scenery and moving cattle… the hypnotic waves of blowing grass (which…
Crazy
So sorry there’s not a Re-Red today. It takes me a minimum of two hours to make one, and I’ve been going since 4:30 am. I finally sat down at 9:30. I’m running low on sleep lately, too. Hopefully, there will be time tomorrow. We’re still moving cows and our big mountain trail is Wednesday….
Kids’ Rodeo! (Costume Edition)
Christmas. Fourth of July. Kids’ Rodeo. The days we really try to enjoy a holiday. We interrupt this crazy, busy summer to make the time to celebrate the local kids and sweat like crazy and drink a case of water and eat snow cones and ruin five lawn chairs and cheer and laugh and cringe….
#TBT: The Setting, v.2.0
This was first posted July 16, 2009. We were in the midst of preparations for our Centennial party… lots of mowing, weed eating, picking up branches, moving things around! It’s fun to look back! The setting for our centennial party is around “the white house”. This is the original homestead building built by Joe Henry…
Wordless Wednesday – “I See Skies of Blue, Clouds of White”
What a WONDERFUL WORLD. For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo… go HERE.
Little House Re-enacted
Yesterday’s photo of “Little House” reminded me of something. The Kids’ Rodeo is coming up in Ten Sleep… Jaxon was chosen to carry in the American flag in the Grand Entry. That’s pretty cool… so he’s been practicing with his pony, Jackie, and getting her used to the flag. I asked Tess if he was…
Little House
There’s been plenty of 5 am mornings lately. I prefer not to be an early riser, 6 or 6:30 is my preferred wake-up call. If I’m not riding, I’m babysitting, so it doesn’t really matter because the kids will arrive before the time called for saddling horses. Tomorrow is saddling at 6 am… but here…
Re-Red: June 28 – July 4, 2020
I started this early today… good thing, too, as we lost power for about 3 hours this evening! Though many of you were probably hoping this week’s Re-Red would include video of the elk, remember, Re-Red is from the last week, not the current one! You are lucky, because obviously you know where to come…
Sweet
Before time gets away from me… I need to share what happened on the 3rd of July. Ten Sleep had its 75th Rodeo on the 3rd and 4th. You know how I love taking rodeo pictures… usually. I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about it this year… and it was HOT. And I had spent the day…
Job Security
We’re getting slammed with work… cows to move every which way! I’m trying to help when I can, so I was sent to the mountain to work with Brandon. He was going to fix fence. Now that’s a job I don’t mind doing. We were very intent on looking along the fence line… seeing that…
#TBT: A Hot Move, v.2.0
This was first posted July 10, 2009. The problem: Cows on the fence… they want to leave for the cooler mountain, but it isn’t time yet. Some dirty cows even are IN the field! Then there are the troublemakers… Lucas and Elsa have success! Lucas makes it to Bruner Draw… and goes looking for a…
