It’s time to move the yearling heifers to the home place. We knew when we leased this gorgeous pasture, that it was going to be difficult to gather… too many trees, shrubs, springs, trails, roads… and… we were right! We started off bright and early… and had a flat tire. And we (meaning the boys),…
#TBT: Young Teamster
I just *have* to start my first Throwback Thursday with one of my favorite photos! Since I’ve declared my #TBT able to use any old photos that include me, my family, or the ranch… Here’s a very young Johnny Greet at his first job that he remembers doing on the ranch. He’s driving the stacker…
Little White Hen
I *babysat* the neighbor’s chickens for a few days… it gave me a good chance for close-ups! For you puzzle fans… click on the small image and see how fast you can complete the puzzle… Little White Hen
Errand
Sometimes it would be nice to run across town, load up your repaired four wheeler on your pickup and get back home a half an hour later. Convenience is a Very Nice thing… The hard part for a rancher would be finding where to stash his cattle and fields and tractors in town so that…
Salt Bonus
Ya gotta love it, when you take salt to your cows… and see elk too! Well, at least it makes my day…

I did wander out to watch the…
Girls’ Day… With Boys
Antiquing with my sister again… We are in search of a big dining table for her… and ended up with a large cabinet she’ll use to sit the tv and media stuff on. And at 8’4″, just a smidge too long for her pickup bed! Neverfear, we had plenty of rope and blankets for padding……
Ideas
School has begun, and I started back at the library again, 8-5 … two days a week. You’re welcome to follow the Ten Sleep Branch Library on Facebook if you’re already on there following Red Dirt! I’m highly tempted to make it another Wordless “Wednesday”, or would you prefer a “Throwback Thursday” where I share…
Gate
Today’s project.. I know it’s hard to see… but look closely! Couldn’t resist! Before: After:
For Us
A half day trip to Cody with Vernon and Johnny… with lunch bought for us by Johnny, since today is our 35th anniversary! We ran into relatives… and searched for the wild horses, but didn’t find them… and came home and went back to work. No pics. No stories. A day just for us!
