This photo makes it look like my windmill is entirely buried. It isn’t. We did have 8″ though! Lots of cow work happening today in the neighborhood, but I’m headed to the warm library.
Wordless Wednesday – “Morning Smokers”
Morning Smokers
Halloween Visit
Happy Halloween! We were visited by a vampire bat, Dusty Crophopper, and the puppy versions of Tuff and Jekyll. Ten Sleep is a great place for Halloween!
Cool Cowboys
Guaranteed to happen: Work outside in the cold (22˚ this morning). Ride, walk, work the gate sorting cattle – back and forth, back and forth. Ride some more. Stand around, cooling off and getting stiff, but talking with neighbors and buyers. Go home. Drink two cups of hot chocolate. Finally make supper. Eat. Tip over….
Mooving
It’s time to bring the cows down off of our mid-range Mesa Pasture before this next snowstorm hits. Yesterday they brought some from a different pasture to this one, but today we take them all the rest of the way. Along for the ride? Quinlan! Yup, he’s riding one of the little ponies. Also there……

Our Western Star
I had a busy and FULL day of work (19 kids at the after school program!!!!), then I jumped in the Jeep and drove an hour to go see a friend at the Hot Springs County Library in Thermopolis. My readers should know him by now, but just in case you’ve forgotten, it’s New York…
Stackyard
The guys are working on a project. Since, I guess, the beginning of Greet Ranch, you’ve been met with a haystack as you drive into our place. It’s also become the repository of some old equipment and a humongous pile of used baling twine and the rotting corpses of old straw bales. Since the fence…
Creepy
I do believe she turned out pretty creepy.
Visitors
How do two people make so much dirty laundry??? Sheesh. While Vernon hauled some more water to the cows and, once again, tried to figure out what was wrong with the pump or generator… I did laundry and cleaned my house. I did take some time out to work on my ghost decoration… I’ll let…
