Squint and Back Away Slowly
I felt a little “off”… laid around for a little bit… discovered, thankfully, that it wasn’t the horrid flu that is consuming Ten Sleep at this time… but I took the “time off” to finish a new pastel. You know, I think I do pretty good, then I see someone else’s *real* talent… and I…
Nowood Creek Ice Puzzle
We have received NO new snow in the past week. It’s actually been fairly nice, with temps wandering up into the low 40˚s. The sun warms it up quite nice and the wind has been nonexistent or just a slight breeze. Now, if it can hold on through calving season… ha! We would have actually…
Artwork
Well, seems as if I spent my Sunday cheering on the Denver Broncos to Superbowl 50! It was a dramatic and traumatic game… sorry if you’re not a football fan, but I have been all my life. Well, at least for those teams I care about! I sure can’t just watch football CONSTANTLY. I also…
Go! WYO!
Have to share this little crafty project I just finished last week for a friend’s birthday. She’s an avid University of Wyoming fan… following sports of all kinds… hence, “Steamboat”, the bucking horse logo. It’s all done with brown, tan, and gold Sharpies. I rather like ’em! Go! WYO!
Blogoversary and a Winner!
Yup. 2008 was when Shreve from Daily Coyote told me to go for it… start my own blog… and I did. That first year I wasn’t consistent until fall when, after another cup of coffee at the cafe, Shreve told me to be dedicated. I stepped it up… and barring slow or non-existent internet, family…
Wordless Wednesday – “Heritage Dog”

Done With That Chore
Today was a repeat of yesterday… except this time, we vaccinated heifers. Remember, heifers are our young two year old cows that haven’t had a calf yet. These will be the ones we will watch over very closely… doing 4 hour checks throughout the day and night. Of course, there aren’t as many as yesterday,…
Good Day
A little cow work today… Daniel, on the left, is giving a mineral supplement… so the girls are getting the right balance of nutrients… Brandon is worming them, because cows eat grass where things have pooped and ingest worms which grow and then are pooped out for other things to graze and get worms… Yeah,…
Every Morning
Every morning this time of year, the guys are all doing a version of this. Whether they’re driving or pitching, or running an automatic bale feeder… they are out there first thing, feeding calves, steers, heifers, cows, and bulls! It doesn’t matter what the temperature is. It doesn’t matter if they don’t *want* to roll…
From Stuff to Dog Bed
There may be a few people who wonder why I keep stuff… Vernon included… I mean look at these outdoor cushions! Rescued barely in time from Eden’s puppy teeth! Yes, I did throw the others away! These have been sitting in a sack, along with that worn out blanket. Today, I joined them together. Not…
