Brave Men And Planes
Have you ever seen the movie, “Always”? It stars Richard Dreyfuss, and, honestly, it ranks right up there in my Favorite Movies List. Hey, it’s also got John Goodman for laughs and Audrey Hepburn for class… you might want to find it some rainy day! The story is about wild land firefighters… the aerial guys…
Pony Time
Start your day with this little gem… I’m brushing Jackpot. Remember him? He’s grown, but not that much. He’s about 10 months old. He’s weaned. He leads. He’s still too young to do too much with, but I brush him and pick up his feet, and rub the lead rope all over and around him….
Shoulda Coulda
Well, it started nice… it shoulda been a great day, it coulda been a beautiful day, so I started working outside and I raked some and mowed some and then couldn’t rake because the wind was stronger than I was! (Okay, only 45 mph, so just a breeze for most of Wyoming…) I spent the…
Birthday Girl
Thanks, everyone for the well wishes and concern over my tooth and pain issues. I read all my comments even if I may not respond to all of them. Those of you who shared your own stories… thanks for trusting me with your experiences. For those of you handling similar crises, be strong, breathe, cry…
Diagnosis
Things have been a bit discombobulated for me lately… awkward posts at various times of day… I think I may have missed one or two… and I debated about whether to share some personal stuff, which I normally wouldn’t, but maybe some good can come of my experience. Last week, I felt tooth pain coming…
Wordless Wednesday – “Calf on the Rocks”

Saddle Show
Among all the riding we’ve done the past few days… Daniel has been trying out his new saddle! We’ve always just bought saddles used… or, “off the rack”, you might say… but never custom built! Daniel has a friend that makes saddles, though, and after riding one for a few days last year, he’s been…
Babysitter
I wasn’t a cowboy today… I was a babysitter for five grandkids! Thankfully, the day was a perfect spring day, and four kids played outside all day! I did manage a few things for myself… and lunch for everyone, cowboys included. I had to share these pics. Lacee gave me the best giggle… And Lorelei…
Country Thing
More rotating cows, kids, and us… I babysat Jaxon, Lacee, and Reagan after I’d helped pair the heifers and their calves and sort them in the corral. That gave Tess a chance to work. Then came lunch. After which I babysat Quinlan and Lorelei, and put them to work helping me clean out my garden!…
Why’s and Wherefore’s
Nothing like being late to the party, and everyone’s gone! I was 15 minutes later than I should have been, and the guys had already left the barn to move our first bunch of cows. And they didn’t have my my horse saddled either! 😉. I zoomed, and caught up to help them pair up….
