It’s time once again for Trunk or Treat at the Ten Sleep Town Park. There was this REALLY SCARY GHOST that came out of the Red Hills and took candy from everyone! Oh, my, he was SCARY! Then Thomas the Tank Engine came along. He was a little unsure of things, but as usual, learned…
Tucked In
Hooves scraped on lichen-crusted stone. The crackle of dried Mule’s Ears flowers caused even the dirt to make noise as we walked through. My hand reached out, brushing the tops of sagebrush, fanning the scaly needles of juniper, returning to rest on the work-etched leather of my chaps. I held the reins loosely, giving Panama…
Proof
Moving another bunch today. Dally takes a break in a puddle that has formed in an old buffalo wallow. Jekyll returns to Brandon’s call. This was his first official drive. He did well! My stirrup took a little juniper along for camouflage. I had Brandon take a picture of me… to prove we are cowboys……
#TBT: Dapper
I do not know who Clarence Wilcox was. I do not know where he lived. I do not know where this picture was taken. I do know he appears to be quite the dapper young cowboy.
Made His Day
Fall causes work: those items that need to be put away for winter, lawn chairs, toys, the trampoline… another round with the lawnmower grabbing leaves for the compost pile… organizing the garage and sweeping summer’s dirt away… there’s more items for the list, but only so many hours in the day. The little calves need…
Lost Blue
You have to return to “normal life” so fast when these quick trips are over… how do dishes and clothes stack up so badly when you’re gone for just two days???? The guys started work on the water in the badlands pasture. We will move the cows there in a week or so, so water…
Greeley Hat Works
(Reminder: I won a contest from Beef Magazine for one of my Cowboy Santa photographs. This is the result!) The flying trip to Greeley was over last night, and we even arrived home at a decent hour, but I didn’t have any photos since the girls were in charge of taking pics for me… and…
Oh, Toto
I’m not in Wyoming any more… Ok, that doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, but it’s true. I’m in Fort Collins, COLORADO! Megan and Tess decided to give me my Christmas/birthday presents early by bringing me down to all these people and all this traffic to pick out my custom cowboy hat! I…
#TBT: Six Horse Hitch
A six horse hitch is leaving the home place. The barn is still the same, but there’s a few more buildings and a corral in this place now.
