hmmm. Just typed in “how Ten Sleep got its name” into my search engine and pow! the photo that I meant to take today was there on flickr. Seeing as how it’s copyrighted, I didn’t repost it here, but the sign, now showing its age, continues the tale of how Ten Sleep was halfway between…
Where?
And people say I live in the middle of nowhere! There’s all sorts of “wheres” around here! Even when we trailed cattle there was this sign… It’s been torn down, stolen, replaced, stolen, replaced, stolen, replaced… I was going to share Wyoming’s Place Names website with you, but I couldn’t quite get it to work……
Wordless Wednesday – “Back”
For this WW, Brandon chases her back to the herd…
Cream Can Dinner
Well, back to ranchlife… Spent the day catching and cleaning up my house. Seriously, I was just gone overnight… The sky is white with smoke from all the wildfires, but it did keep it a little cooler today, so I could achieve some painting on my garage… One more full day and it’ll be done……
Longmire Days – The Video
Well, I managed to put this together… a short video synopsis of Longmire Days in Buffalo, Wyoming this weekend! A BIG THANK YOU needs to go out to the organizers and volunteers, Craig and Judy Johnson for writing the Walt Longmire mysteries and “behind the scenes” work, and the great actors who patiently signed autographs…
Longmire Days – Part Two: The Big Silly Grin
It’s late, but I’ve just finished my two hour drive home over the Big Horn Mountains in the dark! I only saw three elk and a few deer, so it was a nice drive! I think I drove the entire way with this Big Silly Grin on my face! No music… just memories of the…
Longmire Days
I’m abandoning ship. Something to do with a television show called Longmire. I’m leaving the guys behind to work, and I’m going to play. If you don’t hear from me, I’ve lost myself in “Durant”. Don’t bother coming to look for me, just call the Absaroka County Sheriff’s office. I don’t know why I like…
Me and My Girl
Sometimes the day starts off with a kick! It’s cool… And running downhill just feels FUN! Well, it definitely went downhill from here… We gathered the pasture, turned them out into the lane, and they were happy happy cows. As in nopedon’tcarewheremybabyis, leavemealoneandletmeeat, cutmeoutofthebunch?Idon’tthinkso, whyisyourhorsesweatingthisgrassiswonderful. We were wanting to leave the yearlings in one pasture…
Sandhill Crane Watercolor
After getting some new belts for the combine, we were Back in Business. Vernon and Brandon stayed busy thrashing the grain, hauling truckloads of it off to the granary, and baling the straw. I kept busy mowing and working on my website. Finally, I managed a few photos… When you don’t quite have enough hay…
Rimrock English Shepherds
It reallyreally tried to rain here today, but the cloud sat on the far side of the ridge and when it finally made up its mind to continue farther east… it was out of juice. It had enough lightning and thunder to send me inside, though! While inside, I received a phone call about puppies….
Swirls of Light and Rain
Vernon and I went for a drive this afternoon just to get away. If we stay here, we tend to find work, so a drive is a good option. We headed towards our Mesa Pasture, the one burned in the wildfire last year. I still have not been all over it this year, just to…
