No such luck on the night time lapse on my GoPro… TOO DARK! I’ll have to figure that out… Took time lapses on the mountain today, but I’m still recharging the camera, so I’m not sure if they worked. I CANNOT see the display without my reading glasses, so it’s so frustrating if I want…
Some Success
I spent part of my afternoon trying to figure out my GoPro camera. Some of you have said you thought I needed one, but I have one! I just don’t use it because a) I don’t know how b) the screen is so flipping tiny I can’t see what I’m doing c) the battery life…
DeSkunk
It was bound to happen… that aromatic whiff that gags you when your dog walks by… The pitiful looks of not understanding when she is banished to the far reaches of the yard… (I wish!) And finally, when the chance arises, the saving grace of DeSkunking Shampoo! Step One: Gather your ingredients. One quart of…
Hay, Hay
Hay, hay. Second cutting is finally underway. **** It’s already the seventh of August… I have a couple of questions to answer… Anyone have any more???? Post them here!
Time to Wash
Vernon: Got a minute? Me: Uh, yeah. What? Vernon: Can you drive the tractor for me a little while? I need to flush the pivot and I don’t like using a ladder on the end. Me: Sure. So we were off. First he climbed up and replaced the bottom part of that vertical section he’s…
Wordless Wednesday – “Just Beecause”
I love this place! Just beecause…
Reminisces 2
Recently we’ve just all gone separate ways, Brandon is often fixing fence on the mountain, or putting out salt and mineral. Daniel is cutting hay. Vernon is repairing things and trying to combine the oats with a too-old swather. I’m trying to finish up painting my house. I started it last summer, then somehow didn’t…
Edward H. Stoll Award
I’d like to quote the US National Weather Service, Riverton, Wyoming because my father-in-law, Johnny, won an award today! They said everything quite well! “We were truly honored today to present a special award to Mr. John Greet of rural Ten Sleep for his 50 years of service as a volunteer cooperative weather observer. Mr….
Reminiscing
My father-in-law, Johnny, had an older brother James E. Greet, who wrote down some of his “reminisces” in 1991. I glance at the book every once in a while, and I always enjoy his tales about this Red Dirt Country. “There was the summer that the folks lived on the mountain claim with my older…
Minute Movie: “Eden: Bog Dog”
As you regular readers know, there are bogs at the end of our mountain trail. So after hours of travel, when people and horses and dogs are tired, the cows usually fall off the trail into the bogs to get a drink and get cool. You can’t ride your horse in there, because they will…
Nice Looking Men
I got sidetracked again… so still no video… Here are two of my favorite photos from the other day… My boys! Daniel. Brandon. I *still* can’t get over the grass! This morning I completed this… another sweetie! This is for a tshirt contest for the English Shepherd Club. They wanted art – although “art” is…
Long Day in Short Glimpses
Sat down and realized I was going to post a video of Eden… oopsie! That has to be started early in the day, and I fail. Here’s assorted photos from the mountain trail to make up for it… notice the height of the grass!!! Up and over a hill… As far as anyone wants to…
