“I did not hunt any the next day but contented myself following the others around just keeping in Kodak range and trying to get a snap at one of them in the act of firing at game. But we had no luck and spent the second night in camp with nothing killed except the one…
Throwback Thursday: Wear Some Clothes Today, Eh?, v.2.0
This was first posted November 3, 2014. I keep meaning to recreate the last photo! Wear some clothes today, eh?” was the recommendation of my husband this morning. Before your imagination runs amok, it was his way of telling Victoria and I that it was cold outside and that warm clothing was the order of…
Wordless Wednesday: Gullies and Shadows
For a jigsaw puzzle of these gullies and shadows, go HERE.
Well Done
Out you go! All the calves have been weaned and all momma cows now head to the badlands to graze the good hard grass of the Big Horn Basin. While Brandon, Megan, Quinlan, and Lorelei braved the chilly wind on horseback, Vernon and I drove the side by side along fence lines, closing gates, tightening…
Calendar Time
I spent much of the day going through a bazillion photos… Then sorting and choosing… because it’s calendar time! I’ll go through it one more time to see if I think I’ve chosen the best for the month or holiday… But for now, here’s the cover!
Rustic Look
Remember this? This is the metal clay pendant I made this summer, which then was taken back to California with my sister-in-law to be fired. She mailed it and Victoria’s earrings back to me. I waited for Victoria to come over for our final polish… The jewelry comes out of the kiln as bronze with…

Wordless Thursday: Rainy Day
Well, I don’t know where my brain was last night! Oops… For a jigsaw puzzle of this rainy day view, go HERE.
Paintbrush Table
I forgot to share my other little table… the other one was lupine. This one is Indian paintbrush.
Outside and Semi-Productive 2
Reagan and I returned to find cows streaming down the hill and hiking to the gate. We teamed up on the gate and drove through to make sure the cows turned right. Vernon drove the pickup and horse trailer down the hill and met us just as the cows reached us. The three of us…
Outside and Semi-Productive
I helped! Reagan and I were on duty. Vernon, Daniel, Brandon, Victoria, Jaxon, Wyatt, and Matthew were going to bring cows off of our Mesa Pasture. Reagan and I could bring up the side by side, bringing drinks and snacks, following along on a short bit that the side by side could handle… then go…
