Hill and Dale
When the bottoms of the draws have melted their last snow and southern slopes gather the sun’s warmth like a down quilt, minuscule shoots of green sneak upwards. It seems to happen slowly, then, BAM!, there’s green almost everywhere. Well, there is if you can see it from a low enough angle. But that minuscule…
Happy Easter!
I hope your holiday was enjoyable… The Ten Sleep town egg hunt was well attended… and Lacee won a bicycle and Reagan won a big stuffed rabbit! My scavenger hunt was well received… Clues could be anywhere… Brandon’s cows did eat one of the clues I taped to the water trough! But the goodies were…
Beneficial and Complete
It’s not much of a scene without an explanation. This is one of our feed grounds, where we spread hay for the cattle this winter. The hay that was tromped into the snow is matted. The piles of manure litter the ground. However, if you look closely, a swath of ground has been drug. Dragging…
Plain Weird
It was sunny. And warm. And not windy. What kind of Easter weekend *is* this? It’s just plain weird! Nevertheless, we carried on as best we could… forced to eat home made pizza while dyeing eggs *outside* on Tess’ picnic table. We toughed it out as best we could. How many kids this weekend dyed…
#TBT: Blooming Snow, v.2.0
This was first posted April 1, 2010. Sure enough, it is almost Easter… and so a snowstorm has hit! I went to Worland tonight to a Pet First Aid Class… and decided to take this photo of our mailbox as I drove in just half an hour ago. Though we only have 3 inches or…

Wind
Yesterday, multiple places in Wyoming had hurricane force winds. Today was much better, but boy, the wind still had a bite to it! Since Victoria and boys are here for part of spring break, they couldn’t hardly stand to wait for their cousins to get home from school. When they arrived, it became All Kites…
Pysanky Class
I taught a pysanky class at the Ten Sleep Library last night, came home and went to bed… laid there and thought, “I didn’t blog!”. I was too tired, so here I am this morning. A live video can be found on the Ten Sleep Library Facebook page if you’re so inclined.
Renewed
Small bursts of energy followed by “whoo, I’m taking a break.” Bravo is disappointed in the lack of a walk, my house still suffers from a pile of laundry and floors that I swept, but was too tired to go downstairs to retrieve the dustpan. I’m only partially ready to teach my pysanky class on…
Back Home
Well. Huh. I’ve had the most interesting few days. When you acquire one of these styles of drinking cups, you know you may not have had one of the best times… but the important thing is… I’m here and I’m feeling good thanks to wonderful people and technology. Ranch photo? Nope. Craft photo? Nope. Lay…
I’ve Been Busy
What do ranchers do in their spare time? Craft! I know I’ve shared some of these, but I made a video of all my latest…
