One of the things I’ve been watching for a while… are these two little sweeties. I first spotted the mom (or dad) repeatedly driving home from work. I finally slowed down one day to really *watch*. I shared those photos here. Sure enough, I spotted a likely den. Then, one evening when it was way…
Tray… ta-da!
A couple of months ago, my best friend found a wooden tray at, I think, a garage sale… Knowing about all my woodburning that I do, she gave it to me, saying… “maybe do something for me…” So I did. I finally gave it back to her, for her birthday present. Of course, I was…
Float
We received a message at the library a couple of weeks ago… a certain famous friend of ours was headed our way for the 4th of July… and could he do anything for us? Well. Ya don’t turn down a New York Times best selling author when he’s volunteering to come to your library! We…
Missed
I know you missed branding… and all those photos. Well, maybe I just missed sharing all the photos! As usual, I took as many as I could while working, it’s difficult to run a brand on each calf and still try to set up some good photos. But, I got hot, over heated, actually, towards…
If Wishes Were Horses… v.2.0
FIRST PUBLISHED: JUNE 25, 2009 Although my wish for the day would have been to attend a stockdog clinic… in Pavillion, Wyoming (2.5 hours away) from Elvin Kopp (his website is here)… instead we took half our cows to our mesa pasture. When I first heard about the clinic, I knew the date would…
Wordless Wednesday – “Cowkids”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go here.
Pony Brigade
Today was a 50/50 day… cowboyin’ in the morning, farming in the afternoon. However, this morning, the Pony Brigade was out in full force. Nothing cuter than seeing them ride along, working out the quirks of each pony. On occasion they might notice the cows too… whether or not they got their ponies there in…
Grateful
We’ve switched from “cowboy mode” to “farmer mode”. With the largest rainfall during the month of May that Johnny has recorded in his 55 years of recording weather, over 6″!, it was no surprise that field work was way behind schedule. I’m usually anxious for it to start… not because I help… but because I…
Blog Details
I’d like to, once again, thank everyone for sticking around through my computer/blog difficulties. I do read all your comments, and it was nice to be missed! Since we spent most of the day attending a little family reunion in Thermopolis with some of Vernon’s cousins, instead of working! maybe I will take this time…
Mooving
‘Tis that time of year that we play “cowboy”, and move cows this way and that. We’ve gathered three times in the badlands, sent some to the Mesa, Mills, Violet’s, Horse, and Slope pastures. Brandon and Victoria rode today, bringing in two errant steers and a bull. It seems constant, putting those cows with those…
I Is Back
I’m Here! Hellloooooo, out there! Well, we think we have it in hand… My guy, Jason… who shall be known as MYGUYJASON at GoDaddy… has cleared things up… given Red Dirt a firewall and helped immensely with my new look amongst other *I.T.* stuff that I may or may not thoroughly understand! There’s still a…
