Crafting
It was an easy day of weeding and watering the garden and lawn… then we experienced a heckuva windstorm for here… the peak gust was only 48 mph, but it got everyone’s attention. I heard Laramie had a 90 mph gust, and Worland experienced a microburst, while there’s branches down all over Ten Sleep. I…
A Few More
A few more pics from yesterday… this time, in black and white. Can you spot the cowboy in this one? Riding through a field of wildflowers… Ghostly rider cutting through the pines.
Silly Zone
Remember this post from last year??? Splash Zone. That’s what I entitled it… getting soaking wet while moving our heifers to their mountain pasture. Well, we repeated the move today… without a rain cloud in sight! The girls were ready to GO and thankfully, they went the right way! It was gorgeous up there… And…
Grandkids’ Day
It must have been Grandkids’ Day at the Greet Ranch. Early in the morning, Quinlan gets to try out a neighbor’s “kids’ horse” for the first time. It was an easy ride of a few miles along a road… and to the home place. Then we began to bleed the heifers… gathering a blood sample…
Early
Daniel, Brandon, Victoria, and Matt ride out early in the morning…
#TBT : Wooly Chaps

Here, Fred has roped a visitor in the chaps and cowboy hat. She also is pictured on horseback at a distance and on the corral…

Quick
Going to post quickly… It’s already 10 pm and I have to wake up at 3:30 am. We’re saddling at 4:30 and will supposedly be ready by 5 am to trailer out to the badlands pasture and gather our yearling steers. I’m praying for a much better ride than I had a couple of weeks…
In Sepia
Brandon and a neighbor joined forces to have another small branding. I set my camera to “sepia” (because I can’t get a good sepia filter to add later) and just shot that way. I found some I like! Little Jaxon is in this one… Blocking the catch pen while the branders catch up. (See Jaxon…
While the Sun Shines
The guys have been working long days… well, as best they can in between rain showers… putting up hay. You know the old adage, “Make hay while the sun shines”? Sun is essential for drying fresh cut hay. If you bale hay too wet, it can start to decompose, yes, like in a compost pile,…
