Unfortunately, I had the chance to be Big Trails Dispatch once again. A small lightning storm blew through just after supper, with a few nice CRAAAAACKS on top of us. When the phone rings about two minutes later… your first response is “craaaaaaap”. (Sorry about the vulgarity there…) The guys soon rolled on to the…
Shiver
Another favorite. “Ernest Greet and Shiver” What a horse Shiver was! and doesn’t it make you wonder… how’d he get that name?
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…

For Now

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…
