While today remained overcast, at least the wind wasn’t blowing! I jumped on this project because it’s a No Wind Necessary Project. I painted the little windmill in my front yard. We went from this: Note the rust… and the off white flower pot below it… Sage green legs and a brown flower pot… Some…

Rough Character
Well, here we are, starting another new month… and I never even made my Q&A Vlog for *last* month! I think I still have my list of questions around somewhere… and I promise I’ll make a new video post in a few days. At least now the weather is somewhat cooperative… We did a little…
End of an Era
The eighteen wheels rolled over the red dirt, hauling its small load to the sale barn. Calves were separated from their mothers temporarily… keeping them safe from being stepped on was better than a few hours of pitiful loneliness. The voices left behind in the empty corral were cleared again… and again. A glance to…
Why, People?
I just had to share this. I-25 was closed around Cheyenne to lightweight high profile vehicles due to wind gusts of 65+mph. The area this photo was taken in was having gusts of 50+. Other cars were quickly passing this vehicle on the road… each probably praying for safety until they were in the clear….
We Made It
Yeah. All that about good intentions… I really thought I’d blog last night. From a motel room via email. I had a plan! Then things got all switched around, and instead of staying and spending the night… my boss and I decided to come home. In the rain. On the back road. On the back…
Strange Sight
I came home from work yesterday to a strange sight. There, in the grass, not far from my chicken tractor, was a shredded black plastic bag. At least, that’s what I thought it was. A few steps towards it, and I questioned my initial reaction. No, not shredded plastic. Feathers. Black feathers. Black Australorp feathers….

Summer Read
It was another warm and wonderful day in Wyoming… You can watch the fields grow right before your eyes! We’ve all turned from cowboys into farmers… the guys getting water going and prepping the fields… me, I’m mowing my lawn, transplanting bushes, staining my gliders, and working on flowerbeds and the garden. In between these…
Cowboying is Complete
My company left… and literally within minutes, Vernon handed off his horse to me, and I was back “on the job.” It was a tad hot to trail cattle today! The thermometer said 81º after we finished lunch! Cows are wrapped in thick leather and black hair and a winter of laziness in the fields…
Having a Blast
My sister is here. We work on projects together quite well. We also can have fun! Today was Fun Day. What would we choose to play with today??? She took her new AR-15… I took my new .22. (We also had throwing knives and slingshots along for backup!) I took my little bitty spinny target…
Minute Movie: Spring Turnout
Here you are, folks… A fresh Minute Movie! Feel the sunshine on your back, the movement of the horse under you, listen to the calves and cows bawl for each other… It’s Spring Turnout Time!
