I recently received some old family photos… and scrolling through them on my computer, it was hard to choose which to share first. I finally decided on this series of three pics taken May 4, 1929. Now we’re just rolling into June of 2018, so these are 89 years old. They belonged to Wyoma Pyle,…
Wordless Wednesday: “Bringing ‘Em Home”
Bringing ‘Em Home
Rain
Wyoming has been blessed with rain. Too much in a few places! We received .75”. I know, the fact that Wyomingites count the rain in hundredths of an inch, should tell you something… but it is amazing what 3/4” of rain can do to this country! The rainstorm did hold off for longer than it…
Done
More AI. The horse trailer doubles as an AI shed, holding the big semen tank, water warmer, lube, and long gloves. The boys look over some heifers… paying close attention to the silver/orange stickers and the actions of the girls. The heifers are bred and hauled off to fresh pasture. Another year done!

Old Dog in Springtime
Wildflower Season
Whew. Totally spaced doing a before and after of my flower beds. Take it from me that they look tremendously better! I guess at some point I can do a “now”… and then a pretty “later” one as all the flowers start to bloom! They probably won’t compare to the way the mountain is looking…
Cool Photo
You all know I’m on Instagram… and I enjoy it. Pretty pictures everywhere. If you’re interested, you can click on my link on the right and go look, no account required. But, human nature being what it is… I still look at how many people like my photos. I shouldn’t do that, but I do….
Questions and Answers: May 2018 Edition
Constance: the boot in stirrup seems to be getting most of the mail, but what about other boot? Why does it not show in the stirrup seen under the horse’s belly? plus this rider has on very clean looking jeans …. been promoted from drag ‘n flank to sitting on a horse watching the show? No,…
