From a few weeks ago, as we move the cattle down low for winter. Find its jigsaw puzzle HERE.

Just when my knee is almost healed, I get knocked down by a cold and have spent the past couple days vegging even more in the recliner. I’m rather tired of this. Then it snowed and was 10 degrees outside this morning with icy roads. Even if I wanted to go out for a walk,…
Back in the Day
So many of the old photos I’m going through are those of the Greet family. Not near as many belong to Vernon’s mother’s family, the Alexanders. I know very little about them other than Milton Alexander was caught up in the Spring Creek Raid as one of the “raiders” on that unfortunate night. After being…
Turkeys
Until a few years ago, there were no wild turkeys in this area. Now, it’d be nice if we could sell pasture raised turkeys for a side hustle! Yes, those are all turkeys… and I couldn’t fit more into my frame, but there were more!
Felting
I led another needle felting class at the library. Most people had taken one before and this time we used kits so people could take it home to finish. I chose a fox to do. It was kind of cutesy, not completely accurate… and where were her front legs? Of course, everyone’s fox will look…

Throwback Thursday: Brad and Dan, v.2.0
This was first posted November 13, 2014. You guys are simply a blessing, you know that, right? Writing what I figured would be the most controversial blog post I’ve ever written, I just knew I’d lose readers/fans/lurkers. Maybe I have, but at least they were kind about it and simply slipped away! Thanks for sharing…
Wordless Wednesday: Zip
For a jigsaw puzzle of Daniel’s horse, Zip, go here.
Dog Warmers
Today was a quick trip to physical therapy and the grocery store in Worland, followed by the little girls’ basketball game. The morning was overcast and cool, spitting rain by afternoon, and a slushy snowy drive home after the game. Definitely a change in the weather… I’m still looking for a home for these two…

Two batches of applesauce later… While they grow excellent pears and apples in Ten Sleep Canyon, I don’t usually get any apples because for years, when hunters come out from Minnesota and Wisconsin, they bring us cases of apples. I set out to peel a case of apples when Victoria texted and mentioned she had…
Definitely Not
Heifers worked and crew fed… it was time to move them. I ran around throwing the food into the refrigerator, then Bravo and I jumped in my Jeep to go flag in front of the heifers on the highway. Three miles on the highway and a mile to the field. Highway traffic is minimal, but…
Support Staff
Morning found me in the side by side, riding along as we gathered our heifers. The first step in choosing our replacement cows was to get them in the corral to sort off the list Brandon had made. While everyone went to work sorting, I retired to the house. Last time I sorted cows… things…
