Lots of work around the house and yard today. I thought we were supposed to ride, but it got pushed back a day… instead I worked on my garden and I have all but three plants in the ground, two tomatillos and garlic chives… 97% of my flowers, veggies, and herbs are finished… Now, a…
Uncle Jack
I keep remembering my uncle from New York State, who, upon his one visit to Wyoming, repeatedly commented on our clouds… and as a teenager, I thought that he was so funny… They’re JUST CLOUDS. With all this rain… all I seem to do, is take photos of clouds. Here’s to Uncle Jack.
Red Hills
The first of many long days to come… plan on lots of photos this week!
Life is Good
Yes, it rained. There’s rockslides in Wind River Canyon by Thermopolis, off and on Powder River Pass has been closed. You can’t get there from here unless it’s NORTH! While the creek is running high, not much damage has been done… (yes, that’s snow on the mountains further south) The guys are having to AI…
Soggy
Rain! Holy cow, it’s like we live in Seattle or something!! There’s local flooding around parts of the state… Thermopolis, Kaycee, and the creek is as full as it can get here. More rain and parts will start getting flooded. We had plans to give the heifers we are AI’ing their Lutalyse shot, but held…
It Rained
Definitely not a big day today… babysitting and a wedding comprised my “easy” day… The guy who got married is a “neighbor” up the road a few miles, and a friend of my boys. Now the weather the past week hasn’t been perfect for weddings, rain and clouds and more rain and more clouds, and,…
Evening Light
Well, for once it’s only past 9 and I’m posting! That’s because I’m entirely exhausted… I managed to mow most of my tall, tall yard and work in my garden getting most of it planted! According to my little wrist counter, I put in just over 19,000 steps today. That’s why my hands are sore…
Ornaments
The old International pickup. The old International pickup with ornaments “under the hood”.
Branding Pics
Just hanging around, watching everything! Lacee has her own vantage point. Jaxon helps dad hold the calf, while Quinlan marks the calf’s back with chalk. Vernon dallies his calf. Kay, one of my “pups”, takes a ride on the pallet. Yes, she stays on! I’m not supposed to be here, but you can’t see me.
Again
We branded Brandon’s little leased herd today… pictures to follow… then I spent the afternoon on my lawnmower trying to catch up with the out of control grass. Before I knew it, here came Vernon, and I headed to the house to cook something for supper. Washing my hands at the sink, I noticed two…
