I helped a bit with the Project and a Half. Not much… but I took pics! Vernon tore this entire section of fence down this morning… and we prepared to replace it. Thank goodness for post hole diggers in rocky ground… Giant gate post set… on to “Rancher Math”. How many posts are needed for…
Project and a Half
I’m *still* off loading photos off my phone and iPad… so… I drove down to see the progress. After much deliberation and drawings and what ifs and how abouts, we kind of have a new corral design. We researched and investigated and watched YouTube videos. We talked Bud Boxes vs. sorting tubs. We talked about…
Throwback Thursday: DeSkunk, v.2.0
This was first posted August 9, 2015. It was bound to happen… that aromatic whiff that gags you when your dog walks by… The pitiful looks of not understanding when she is banished to the far reaches of the yard… (I wish!) And finally, when the chance arises, the saving grace of DeSkunking Shampoo! Step…

Notice
Remember my buffalo skull? I didn’t like that it blended into the wall so much, so I painted these wildflowers… Then I finally put them together! I kinda like it… you definitely notice the skull more! What do you think?
Mission
With the wildfire last week, my last fair entry for the kids wasn’t written… and now Victoria’s kids have competed in their county fair… so, I’m definitely behind! My plan was to try to make a video, but my first obstacle was not enough room to download the videos from my camera. Maybe someone someday…
Work and Help
I rarely fail to post everyday, even if it’s just a single photo, but last night I had a chance to spend the night on the mountain and I took it! Unless someone wants to gift me some Starlink service or I drive half a mile where I MAY get one bar of service, you’re…
Throwback Thursday: Long Day in Short Glimpses, v.2.0
This was first published July 31, 2015. Sat down and realized I was going to post a video of Eden… oopsie! That has to be started early in the day, and I fail. Here’s assorted photos from the mountain trail to make up for it… notice the height of the grass!!! Up and over a…
Wordless Whoops: Along the Fenceline
Well, so much for making raspberry salsa today, I forgot we were moving cows! It was a beautiful coolish morning with only a slight haze. While they are still calling it an active fire, it’s not very active from up top! They are hitting hot spots in the canyon with hand crews and helicopters, but…
Year of the Raspberries
I’ve made smoothies. I’ve made milkshakes. I’ve made two cheesecakes. I’ve frozen them. I’ve given some away. I’ve had people come pick. I’ve made fresh raspberry salsa. Today I made raspberry jam. Tomorrow I have plans to can raspberry salsa. And then I’m just going to keep freezing them unless I try fruit leather in…
Positivity
Well, that looks MUCH better! Jaxon and I went up to get a look at the big planes dropping fire retardant. We were disappointed but not really, that it was only helicopters and ground crews at work. The helicopters seemed to be dropping into the canyon on hot spots we couldn’t see. Once in a…
