Aftermath
After the parade… After the rodeo… After returning home… Vernon was napping, and I was watching out the window at a darkening sky. I have multiple weather apps on my iPad. A quick click or two, and I saw the radar with an evil pink eye headed straight for us. A weather alert for severe…
Life, Liberty, and Longmire
With two weeks notice, we pulled off another Longmire float for Craig Johnson and the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library! The 4th of July parade’s theme was “Give Me Liberty”, so we modified it just a touch! Our version was “Give me Life, Liberty, and Longmire” The book covers we used on our first…

Last Minute
Vernon decided last minute to gather a little bunch of cows we have in our Horse Pasture, vaccinate the calves, then trail them tomorrow morning to the Mesa Pasture. After a big storm has blown through this afternoon, the evening turned rather pleasant, except for the mosquitoes. My sweatshirt was too warm for the temperature,…
Irresistible
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…

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…
