Cool
I feel like I didn’t accomplish much today… They weren’t very physical, I guess! I started to scan some of the old family photos… after figuring out the best way to do it, it went fairly fast. Scanning at a higher dpi slowed the process down extensively, so I didn’t. I imagine I may regret…
Coating of Pine
There’s one set of cows we have still running in conjunction with the neighbor’s… Today we split the herd to take them to better pastures. No dogs got to play today because the other cattle aren’t “dog broke” and they will just go on the fight and not want to move. Well, that was the…
Boysen Dam
For any Wyoming history buffs out there… Here are two photos I found interesting. Boysen Dam is south of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Construction began in 1946. It is a rockfill dam, eventually reaching a height of 220′ and length of 1,143′. The crest of the dam is 30′ wide, but the base is over 900′! That’s…
Old Photos
Gah! I’m SO disgusted with myself! I wanted to enter some photos in Casper’s Wild West Photo Fest like I did a couple of years ago… and I kept thinking the entries were due the last of August. I looked at the form today, and the deadline was yesterday. I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF! …

Wordless Wednesday – “National Dog Day”
“There’s a National Dog Day????? Well, pllllll! What am I? Chopped … Oh, wait… Forget I said anything.”
Ancient Treasures
Dr. Larry Lowendorf knows pictographs and petroglyphs. I think I could follow him around and just absorb so much! His discussion on Saturday was only and hour and a half long… but I was ready to go all day. I was happy to find that what I had shared with Ten Sleep’s summer school kids…
Ringbearer and Wedding, Sweet!
Somebody was impatiently waiting for his job to begin… Aha! Now we’re getting somewhere! Dad had to walk the ringbearer up the mowed aisle… you just can’t tell it wasn’t head high on the little guy. Oh, no! He’s down! Good thing the rings are tied onto that pillow! Oh, he’s up! Can’t keep a…
Gorgeous Settings
Busy day for our actual anniversary day… I requested a trip to Medicine Lodge Creek State Park to listen to Dr. Larry Lowendorf, a phenomenal expert on petroglyphs and pictographs. In the Before Time, I wrote a research paper on petroglyphs and pictographs, and they’ve always captured my imagination. Dr. Lowendorf has written multiple books…
