Special Place

Posted on May 13, 2023

The story I was going to tell has its photos out on my camera which is in my car in the garage … which is not attached to my house… I’m not going there. So tonight… two of my favorite photos from this week. The Dry Reservoir isn’t… at least temporarily… looking south. Looking NNE…

#TBT: Own Tale, v.2.0

Posted on May 11, 2023

This was first posted May 15, 2012. Just as a reminder how things don’t always go smoothly… Well, no photos of the food I cooked, lawn I watered, laundry I washed, diapers I changed, or chickens I fed. Thank goodness for small favors! Needless to say, this day has been hectic. The crew didn’t have…

We Need A Bigger Net

Posted on May 9, 2023

The weather has been almost perfect and I’ve been hitting the yard chores fairly hard. Of course, today was a Reagan day, so I chose something relatively fun… cleaning out the cement pond from winter’s smelly layer of rotten leaves and dirt. (More for curious minds here). Scooping out what Jaxon has dubbed the “Mariana…

Big Excitement

Posted on May 8, 2023

I eagerly waited for the mailman today. My gift to myself was coming and I was beside myself. For well over a year, I’ve been wanting to print off my blog into book format. I was resolved I would do something about it and now, I held it in my hands! Long ago, when GoDaddy…

Perfect!

Posted on May 7, 2023

Brandon had his little herd to brand… Megan roped. Quinlan guarded the gate. Brandon and Daniel wrestled the calves. Lorelei and Vernon vaccinated… I branded… it was perfect!

Hitchin’ a Ride

Posted on May 6, 2023

Morning sun found the turkey vultures warming in the light… And us gathering the last few cows from the other side of the creek. They were a mix of Brandon’s, cows that hadn’t calved yet, cows with newborns, and cows that had lost their babies. We’d sort them at the corral. Easy enough usually, but…

Field Trip

Posted on May 5, 2023

While I couldn’t go along for the full length, my boss let me zip out and join Jaxon’s historical field trip to the Spring Creek Raid site. The presenter, you will recognize, was Clay Gibbons, who just gave the talk on Banditti of the Plains at the library. The Spring Creek Raid was held on…

Melancholy

Posted on May 2, 2023

There is melancholy in places like this. Where location was perfect for use in four pastures. Where timbers were cut and hauled. Where blisters were built on shovel handles and saws and hammers. Where someone looked upon this round corral with satisfaction in the knowledge it would serve its purpose, and do it well. Where…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
