When you hit the highway and visibility is one and a half delineator posts… When the snowplow must be busy on the mountain because your highway is still unplowed… When your wheels throw up more snow on your rear window than your wiper can handle… When your top speed of 30 mph seems plenty fast……
Spoon Again
More spoons ready to go. All with a western theme, no surprise. But then, inspiration came… And this guy appeared. With flames on the handle, and his eye on the front, I’ll be sorry to see this guy go.
Fermenting Chicken Feed
I’ve read about it for a while… and just started trying it with my chickens. Fermenting their chicken feed. Translate that to just soaking their chicken feed, and you’ll take the scariness out of it. They tell you that fermenting your feed will increase the protein, or rather, let them get the full protein out…
Slooooow
It seems to be very slooooow around here of late… The guys are feeding cows in the morning, but with four guys spreading out the chores… It goes fairly fast and easy (barring breakdowns). I remember it taking until almost lunch sometimes back in the Way Back Times. Maybe that’s like walking uphill both ways…
#TBT: Old School
We used to always haul horses in the pickup or big one ton if there was five or six to haul! Them newfangled horse trailers are kinda nice, though.
Wordless Wednesday – “Topping”
Topping Puzzle
HE No More
Well, here’s a post you squeamish readers may want to skip! Since it’s just a part of ranchlife, you know I’ll include it, but, the photos that come up, may not be for viewing over your morning coffee. Now that I’ve lost a few of you… Remember our surprise colt, Jackpot??? Cute little, tiny, itsy…
For Her
Today is for her… because my Mom was a cool lady.
Wyoming Road Trips
Oh, those Wyoming road trips! A little ground blizzard… A little wildlife… A little scenery.
Spoonin’
Playing some more… I do the fronts with a small pic, the back with the major pic, and the handles with a pattern as well. The bottom is my kids’ brands surrounded by a tooled leather style design. These are fun!
Meanwhile…
Well, after all that celebrating… Let’s check into what’s been happening on the ranch… Our last snowstorm dropped a nice amount of snow… between 9″-10″… Which was great in one respect. There was enough snow, that when you walked in it, it didn’t compress down enough to hit that layer of ice on the bottom…
#TBT: Stationery
Johnny has loaned me a box of old letters, and I’m just beginning to sift through the crispy paper decoratively topped by the fading ink of fountain pens and three cent stamps. My eye was caught by this stationery from the Plains Hotel in Cheyenne. Who wouldn’t want to write on this? And then frame…
