This was first posted September 14, 2009. When my friends from New Zealand were here not long ago…it made me re-realize the amount of wildlife we take for granted. I mean, I *know* it…but sometimes you just need people to oooohhh and aaaahhhhh over the little mule deer doe in the road to remind you! You can…
Wordless Wednesday: “End of Season”

Dodge
We definitely dodged that bullet. It snowed here, lightly, briefly, and none of it stuck on the grass. The low temperature was only 34 degrees at my house. We received .29″ of rain, which was wonderful. The rest of Wyoming was not so lucky. Snow fell and stacked up and the wind howled. I’ve seen…
Freeze Coming
Wyoming remembered how to rain today. Saturday I was sweating while I was covering my tomatoes… yesterday was cooler and windy… right now it’s raining and 37 degrees, so snow will be here overnight. I had some old floor underlayment… the cushioned foamy stuff under flooring. I wondered if it would help protect the tomatoes…
Re-Red: August 22 – August 29, 2020
This video covers our anniversary trip up to Shell, Wyoming with visits to the Shell Store, Shell Canyon, and Shell Falls. Fasten your seatbelt when I fast forward you through the switchbacks coming back down! Next follows Daniel cutting the sor-dan… an impressive crop! A few slow motion birds… a harvest… and our big trip…
Forecast
While it was in the high 90’s today… Tuesday’s high is forecasted to be only 40. Yes, you read that right. So, even though the plan is to cover my garden, it still may not make it. Today, I put the grandkids to work, picking corn, shucking, and picking the silk while I sliced the…
Grossness
I debated about sharing this… It’s gross. It made me say some bad words. So, if you’re not interested in unsavory medical anomalies, maybe you should just skip this post and I’ll see you tomorrow. Here’s your chance. See ya later… OK. Three and a half months ago, Daniel tipped over his four wheeler. Thank…
#TBT: Mountain OOPE, v.2.0
This was first posted September 3, 2009. My collection of OOPE photos continues to grow. I’ve always just stuck the camera in my pocket (hence the Out Of Pocket Experience title!)…but when it is 90 degrees outside…a coat or sweatshirt with pockets just doesn’t cut it! For those of you new to the OOPE photos……
Wordless Wednesday: “Learning History”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, click HERE… c’mon, it’s fun! (BTW, it’s part of an old stove)
Petroglyph Proof
After our trip back in to history to the Lewis homestead cabin, we went even farther back in history with a side trip to petroglyphs. Just like The Dugout, I have written about the petroglyphs before. You might want to click through and read the link first. I was wondering how they were holding up…
Re-Red: August 16 – August 21, 2020
Wow. This video is the compilation of the week August 16-21, 2020, for Wyoming’s working ranch blog, Red Dirt In My Soul. Obviously, I can’t read a calendar lately. Last week’s Re-Red movie went two days into this week, and I just realized I am a day short on this video. My goodness. I must…
Whisper of Dreams
Well, sorry. I didn’t make a Re-Red today. It takes at least two hours and I didn’t have time. I will try to put one together tomorrow. We took another trip, this one, however, has been in the works for a few years. Vernon’s cousins have wanted to visit their old family homestead. It sold…
