Sooo… Do I tell you about branding, or the branding we did yesterday, or what we did today? After a month or more of not having hardly any photos to share, I have plenty! Tess had to go to Cody today and Reagan has been a bit under the weather, so we decided she could…
As we say around here… We got the use out of this day! Vernon is always out the door by 7 am if not earlier, and he quits at 6. After the feeding was done, I was to ride down with Brandon and Megan to help gather. That was 8:30 am or so. I walked…
Parts of Wyoming received two feet of snow and high winds. We only received 3”, but it was a wonderful wet snow and we’re grateful. Any moisture is welcome since we’ve been in a drought for so long. We were back at the job of turning cows out to their spring pastures this afternoon. We…
I awoke to 3” of wet, wet snow and sideways wind. Not the finest of weather, but much better than Wyoming further east where 1-2 feet of snow has fallen and created many a tall drift. We’re grateful for the moisture and five miles down the road, the snow was simply rain… Tasha was outgoing,…
The Ten Sleep Library will be hosting a ”Spot of Tea” and Silent Auction tomorrow, with special guest, author Tasha Alexander. Tasha Alexander is the author of the Lady Emily mystery series. Set in Victorian England of the 1890-1900’s, Tasha’s books also roam across the area, from Paris to Greece, Germany to Africa. My favorite…
This was first posted April 25, 2011. Just to show that some things change and some things remain the same… Well, well… We did it. Four trips to Shaw Pasture with varying amounts of cows and their calves and our yearling steers. It is a LONGLONG trip with baby calves. I puttered around…
For a jigsaw puzzle of these rimrock cowboys, go HERE.
All right… my eyes are slamming shut. It was a busy day. I spent time on cleaning up from branding cooking. Then started to plant a few new trees, but I ran out of time and met up with Brandon, Daniel, Megan, and Vernon to pair out some cows across the highway. I think I…
Somehow, we’re crazy enough to cook a big meal for Easter for 15 people, then turn around (wash all those dishes) and cook a meal for 31 great neighbors who helped us brand today! Yes, there are dirty crock pots sitting in my kitchen. Yes, my house is a disaster. Yes, I’m too tired to…
Here’s the video I made about my “After the Bell’s” garden tower. Over two days, the kids and I assembled, filled with dirt, and planted our tower. Of course, there’s been snow on the ground, so it hasn’t spent any time in the sunshine, but it is together… Our center compost tower has only a…
A cold, grey day… so I decided to brighten it up! Light switch covers… After I spray this with an acrylic coat, I’ll remove the bucking horse sticker, which will show white underneath. There is red, orange, and golden yellow paintbrush all on this mug…
