A Minute Movie from a few days ago… The Sorting Grounds from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Unsung Heroes
Cowboys get all the attention… Good looking, talented guys on horseback… the Quintessential Romantic Cowboy. But at brandings, there are some unsung heroes… the Vaccinators! Usually, but not always, they’re girls. Not because girls can’t wrestle, Victoria and I have both put in our time holding calves, but because, I think, guys don’t want the…
FAIL
We were home and finished by 6:30 today. Amazing. And Vernon cooked a frozen pizza. Yay! I fell asleep on the couch for a bit, then woke up to lock up my chickens and feed the dogs. Sidenote from cattle moving: I fail at animal husbandry. I started with two broody hens and about 20…
Only These

The Little Seven… the Cousin Contingent… was in…

Lunch at 9:30 PM

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!
