A week ago, snow covered the ground. We still had two feet of snow on some undisturbed fields. Then the chinooks rolled in, with some nights not sinking below freezing and poof! Snow has almost disappeared. Oh, there’s some on the north side of hills and in the shady spots that don’t see sunshine… but…
Pte Tanka Second Take
I updated the video, putting the main section into slow motion… and freeze frame for when the leader looked at me! Enjoy! Pte Tanka from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Class
I made an expanded video… with slow motion and a freeze frame when the lead buffalo looked at me. Oh, and you notice almost the entire time he was running, his tongue was hanging out! Well… the video is still simmering away… so that’ll be tomorrow’s post. The original reason for going to Thermopolis was…
Pte Tanka
I attended an Oral History Seminar in Thermopolis today put on by the Hot Springs County Museum. I have all sorts of good things to say about it… but I’m choosing to delay that for a day. I have a better story. If I have a few extra minutes in Thermop, I’ll do a quick…
Getting There
The salt shed is making progress. Vernon’s winter project needs a tad more paint, some outside wall tin, and a doorknob…and it will be finished. It’s already served as a nursery, but in between checking on calves and nursing them, Vernon would work on the shed. Today, I started painting the double doors… Brandon and…
But No
Nope. It’s not a #tbt. I didn’t make it back to Johnny’s to get copies of the latest vintage photos he’s run across… So… I just thought I’d let you know I survived and even ENJOYED speaking to the Worland / Ten Sleep Chamber of Commerce. I didn’t stutter. I didn’t leave my brain along…
Wordless Wednesday – “Rimrock Sundown”
Rimrock Sundown
Nerves
I can’t help it. I’m lucky enough to be asked to speak to the local Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it, I really am… but I can’t help be just a tad nervous… what will I forget? I’m prepared. I’ve practiced and practiced. And hey… I’ll have my speech right in front…
A Little Fun
It seems like forever since everyone was healthy and the intensity of an overly cold and snowy calving season wasn’t hanging over our heads… time to get the grands together and go sledding! Well, they went sledding… Reagan toddled around up at the top of the hill… where the road has melted… That *is* chocolate…
Sunshine and Roses
Ha. Did you really think I’d be writing about sunshine and roses during calving season? Nope. Thank goodness, the weather is improving and at least the snow is leaving from the south facing slopes. Of course, that leaves mud and pools of meltwater… but let’s whine about one thing at a time, shall we? At…
Learning Fast
I’m taking the fast way out, by posting a video onto my Red Dirt Facebook page. No, you don’t have to have a Facebook account to watch it. This little calf looks half deer… but she was feeling good.
Sunshine
Nothing is looking as good to us as slightly warmer temps and plenty of sunshine.
