We weighed steers this afternoon. Jaxon helped. The entire time. His hands got sore from pulling the chute gate rope. He has to hang on the thing to lift it. He’s quite the worker! He’s also a pretty happy worker, even if these photos don’t catch him smiling. Just bad timing on my part. Behold….
Keep Track
It’s still going on… but we’ve hit the tail end… with weather improving, other projects are starting up. We’ll be moving cows soon. We just need the ladies to finish up calving and keep track of their babies!
Best Day Eva! Video
While the kids have been helping move cows and sort pairs before… I took this time to give them a Pairing 101 class. Sometimes you realize you just expect people to know what to do, and clear instructions aren’t given. They’ve heard all this before, I’m sure. It takes a while to learn to read…
Work to Be Done
Snow melted and there was work to be done. I got some pretty cute video, too. Come back tomorrow!
Get Rich
When we heard there might be an April snowstorm, it wasn’t a surprise. It’s not unusual. So six inches of snow appeared… That’s Lorelei, heading back to the house after helping me feed the chickens. Do you notice anything between her and I? Well, funny little story on the side… We were headed to the…
#TBT: Spring Creek Raid, v.2.0
This was first published April 3, 2009. The two brothers dreaded the walk they knew they must take. Leaving the relative warmth of the log cabin, they trudged outside into four inches of wet spring snow. The softness and beauty the snow would normally lend to the land now lay eerily upon shapes unknown. They…
Big News!
Yes, I have big news! I now have a dedicated sponsor for the month of April! That fact makes me like the year 2020 a little more… 😉 I had told myself I would try to get myself out “there” just a bit more… that putting all my videos over on YouTube would be amazing,…
Wordless Tuesday: “Cedar Frame”
Since Big News for my blog arrives tomorrow… I knew I’d have to keep my puzzle people happy! Here’s your link to this puzzle.
New Favorite
I think this is going to be my new favorite picnic spot. Only got to spend a few minutes there, but I’m ready to go back! Anyone else?
Spring is Coming
The country is peeling back her white blanket. I finally started my tomato and pepper plants. I haven’t grown my own for a couple of years. Last time, I had them up and going well, and a mouse came and chewed them all off. Hopefully, I won’t have that problem this year. I also started…
Ten Sleep Library, The Greet’s Branding video
Made another video for the Ten Sleep Library today. Follow the Ten Sleep Branch Library on Facebook if you’re a Facebooker! This one is pretty special. We put out the call for unpublished children’s stories… ones that might relate to ranch life or Wyoming, something special and unique we could read online. Authors could be…
Times Three
Walking back from the chicken coop one evening, I noticed a sink hole! Holy buckets! How long had THAT been there? Two huge plastic culverts have been wintering near a power pole and water hydrant. The culverts may have prevented me from seeing the sink hole earlier, but I’m pretty sure, I noticed it fairly…
