Wow. I don’t know how people do it. I was ready to upload a long video for tonight’s post, and I knew I was late, but for some reason, I didn’t get around to starting to upload it to YouTube until 3:30 this afternoon. I figured, since it’s a 23 minute video that it would…
Babysitting and Videos
Another day of babysitting while the crew brought in the last of the cows. It was sunny today, but very windy and not warm at all. I felt very lucky to hang with Reagan instead. The other kids got off the bus at four, and their parents followed at five p.m. to eat their “lunch”….
Babysitter
They gathered the pasture today. I played my Fairweather Cowgirl Card and stayed home and babysat. It wasn’t a very pleasant day to ride, the wind came up, the sun went behind clouds and they had lots of cows to sort and trail in. In fact, they didn’t make it home until just at dark….
Minute Movie: Fencing Viewpoint
Aha! Already! Another Minute Movie! Well, I’ve taken quite a bit of video lately… and even better, Megan has been transferring my videos to YouTube from Vimeo. While the quality of videos on Vimeo is exceptional, I have to say that my 150+ movies there aren’t finding an audience. EVERYONE goes to YouTube, including me……
Winter Fencing
Vernon and, occasionally, the boys have been working on a fencing project. Not many people build fence in the winter, but, evidently, “we” do! Reportedly, the ground isn’t too frozen past the first few inches unless the area has been driven on or is bare ground, as that tends to drive the frost down. If…
#TBT: Lucas Posing, v.2.0
This was first posted January 12, 2009. I had to take these… and about a dozen more… my guy looking handsome…

Reagan, Age Two
We take this break from our regular programming to share birthday photos, a month and a half late. Yes, we kept thinking there would be nice weather, etc., etc. But, no. So… just take a little cowgirl’s photos in the barn, where she’ll probably spend a lot of time anyway. Happy second birthday, Reagan. You’re…
Minute Movie: Badlands Panorama
To complete the last two days of describing how we maintain the water for our cattle in the frozen Badlands, here’s a Minute Movie! I used to make Minute Movies all the time and have gone away from it. I’m getting back into them plus I’m going to try some much longer videos. Wyoming is…
Every Four Days, Part 2
First, let me clear up a great question that was posted in my comments. Sometimes I don’t explain things clearly, which I apologize for! The pipeline in our Badlands Pasture brings water to tanks only. The tanks do need to have the ice chopped out and the floats freed so the water will enter and…
Every Four Days
Every four days during the winter… when cattle are grazing in the Badlands Pasture… the guys have an assignment. (Our three neighbors that run cattle out there with us, have the same assignment on the other three days) It’s to check the water. We have a pipeline, water tanks, and one big underground storage tank…
