I’ve spent a great deal of time with the grandkids this week… my favorite photo, well, ok, one of my favorites… was this one. A sundog appeared while we were sledding. Always a favorite of mine, sundogs are even more fleeting than summertime rainbows. They make me remember so many things… one of my very…
No Sighting
Well, it was a pretty sunset… The cloud continued to consolidate… and after sunset, the only thing visible was a narrow slice of sky just above the horizon. So much for viewing the Christmas Star. Maybe there’s a chance for tomorrow. An evening of crafting… And an old movie… Still added to the Christmas spirit……
Christmas Parade
I guess the newest thing on YouTube is called #shorts. Vertical videos in under a minute. I managed to squeeze Ten Sleep’s Christmas Parade into 58 seconds. It includes the Girl Scouts, 4H, Cowbelles, the town, Ten Sleep Brewery, some individuals, some businesses, the ambulance, fire department, and Santa! Four grandkids on floats… but Quinlan…
Watch It, Ornery
Your momma can still whip you in a snowball fight!
Lion Tale
Brandon came to tell me there were mountain lion tracks by our centennial sign. Would I be interested in taking photos???? You bet! Turns out, the mountain lion had killed a deer and drug it over a couple of hills, across our cattle guard and the highway, and stashed it in some trees. As I…
#TBT : Magic in the Air, v.2.0
This was first posted December 12, 2009. We need a little Christmas…I spent today decorating my tree…I don’t have any personal ornaments on it this year.I just decided to go with a different look.It is gold and red…with pinecone shaped glass ornaments, red beads, jinglebells, gold ribbons, icicles, and red berries. A large bow tops…
Wordless Wednesday: “Home”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this photo, go HERE.
Stocking Stuffer
What, you may ask, is that? There’s a locking carabiner on one end, a short length of knotted paracord with a leather tag (including initials), and then a midshipman’s knot on the other end. What do you use it for? Well, since none of my grandkids read my blog, I can safely show you this…
Views from Work
Helping the guys the other day… had to snap a few scenic shots… I thought the snow covered deer trails looked like Christmas tinsel… I may regret not using this for this week’s puzzle, but all that black might be too difficult!
It’s There
Well, I never got to hang my witch decoration for Halloween… remember her? You can see her HERE. I was doubly determined, then, that I should hang a wreath for Christmas. We usually are gifted a natural wreath from a hunter who owns a greenhouse in Wisconsin… but it hadn’t arrived yet. I have three…
Re-Red Video: November 15 – November 23, 2020
An overview for the Wyoming ranch blog, Red Dirt In My Soul, from November 15 – November 23, 2020. This video covers some cow work with great little helpers, moving cattle down the highway, a cool cowboy’s eighth birthday photos, a hike through some red rocks, a wet dog, and painted windows.
Mountain Winter, or Lack Thereof
We drove up the mountain the other day. Seriously. In December. In the side by side. All the way to the top. In December. December. The smidge of snow is definitely unusual. We shouldn’t be able to get here except by snomobile. This makes us just a bit nervous, even though we know that most…
