The sundog hung above the cedar topped hill. We were feeding our replacement heifers when I noticed it, a glaring bite of rainbow lonely in its attitude. As my tractor lurched and thudded over frozen chunks of manure, I reached for my camera. Pausing the tractor’s progress, with my husband’s questioning look, I opened the door…

Wwwwindsssssday…..
Well, actually it is Monday, but we’ve had Wind the past day and unlike other parts of Wyoming, we don’t always get wind here. We manage to whine like wind through the wires when we get it, too! Barring the drafts that blows through this old house and the creaking of the cottonwoods in my…

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
When your digital thermometer won’t show a readout, it is a good morning to not ask the temperature! We rolled outside at the normal time, the full moon sliding down behind the rimrock, the sun not quite up enough to reach down here next to the creek… The moon was bright against the amethyst sky,…
Snow
We haven’t had winter like this in years. It has sifted down all day long, sometimes heavily, sometimes not. In undisturbed places the white blanket is a foot deep, making any travel out of a rut difficult and sweaty! We cheated to move the cows down to the Christopherson place by putting out a hay…
Description
This “Overlook”, while it may pertain to Rimrock English Shepherds, will also include those notes of a more private nature…our life on the ranch, our children, my photography, and yes, stories! Many people have commented on our lifestyle when they reach me through the Rimrock English Shepherd website, so we shall see if this answers…
