Before time gets away from me… I need to share what happened on the 3rd of July. Ten Sleep had its 75th Rodeo on the 3rd and 4th. You know how I love taking rodeo pictures… usually. I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about it this year… and it was HOT. And I had spent the day…
Job Security
We’re getting slammed with work… cows to move every which way! I’m trying to help when I can, so I was sent to the mountain to work with Brandon. He was going to fix fence. Now that’s a job I don’t mind doing. We were very intent on looking along the fence line… seeing that…
#TBT: A Hot Move, v.2.0
This was first posted July 10, 2009. The problem: Cows on the fence… they want to leave for the cooler mountain, but it isn’t time yet. Some dirty cows even are IN the field! Then there are the troublemakers… Lucas and Elsa have success! Lucas makes it to Bruner Draw… and goes looking for a…

Back To It
You may recall I talked about potholder rugs back in early February, back before the world stumbled. Well, I’m back at them! I made one for my sister… This one I called the Continental… it reminds me of the colors of the Continental Army, navy blue, tan, and white with red accents. I traded this…
Kid Branding Portraits
Last week we had seven calves that needed branded. Somehow or another they had missed out on the other days we branded. Since all eight cousins were here, it was definitely going to be a kids’ branding. Daniel and Brandon just “legged them out”, meaning one just grabbed a hind leg and the other “busted”,…
Re-Red: June 21 – June 27, 2020
This week on Re-Red… Pronghorn antelope, Quinlan’s artistic photos, moving cattle with Bravo along learning the ropes, and the Indian Blanket wildflower. I think I’ve found that I just love to be with kids that have to investigate their world… catching grasshoppers and minnows… learning and experiencing their world! It’s so unbelievably fun to watch…
#TBT: “A Find”, v.2.0
This was first posted July 9, 2009. I know someone who found something and then, wonder of wonders, returned it to the closest owner available. Her husband is a carpenter and was remodeling an old cabin. Tucked away in the bottom of an old cabinet, was this. Absolutely gorgeous, is it not??? Hand-tooled… spectacular. It…

Mountain Time
Since we took the blood samples from the heifers yesterday, they were ready to be hauled up to their mountain pasture. Now, historically, this trip is known for RAIN. Sure enough, scattered thunderstorms were predicted. Luckily, the rain held off until after we were done! It was a fast and crazy ride… cool weather, good…
