Brilliant but weak sunshine on the snowy Big Horn Mountains… **** P.S. The first of the calendar orders are on their way as of today… except for yours, Marilyn… I forgot to take a book with me, too! Tomorrow, my dear, yours will be in the mail truck! For those of you still interested, you…
The UN-Party
For years… and years… the women of the Upper Nowood have held a Christmas party. Nowood Creek runs north through this area passing through or near many of our places. If we’re not on the Nowood, chances are, we’re on a creek that flows into the Nowood. Yes. It is NO WOOD. Not Norwood, or…
Catching on FAST
Well, no… I haven’t been on this place long. It’s my first job, if you want to know the truth. They gave me this sorting stick… I’m not real sure what “sorting” is, but look at the awesome trails I can make in the snow! I guess I’m on gate duty. It’s an important job….
They Noticed
The guys worked our replacement heifers today. We’ve decided to keep quite a few this year… Today’s the day they get their “grown-up” eartags, the ones they had until now simply matched their mothers… They get a matching number tattoo in their left ear. They get the number 1 branded on their left hip for…
I Spied
Whew… we ran off to watch Victoria coach her middle school girls basketball team to a second place finish today. Way to go, Kaycee! I’m ready to quit for the day, so I’ll just share what I spied coming home from the PAP presentation the other day… **** December 15, 2011 Tootsies December 15, 2010 …
PAP Testing Video
Wow… Seems like this was pretttttyyy interrrrresting, eh? I’ll answer a few questions from yesterday’s comments first. Jake, seeing as how you’re *closer* to CSU, seems like you could put out some feelers for upcoming clinics, or contact Dr. Holt directly and see where he’s talking next. He’s well worth a drive! Darrell, you don’t…
PAP Testing
Meanwhile, back… Today, Daniel and Brandon hosted a presentation on PAP testing. Now, I can already see you guys starting to turn away to run, and most of the women cringing… But PAP testing with cattle is far removed from taking Pap smears with women! Stick around, all of you, you might find this interesting!…
Wordless Wednesday – “Cool Lady”
For Wordless Wednesday… Elsa strikes a pose… She’s a cool lady! **** December 12, 2011 No entry. December 12, 2010 The Antlers Quartet one of my most touching posts! December 12, 2009 Magic in the Air December 12, 2008 Goodbye, Heifers
For Jan
<giggle> I *told* her I’d dedicate this blog to her… so Jan, here ’tis! While on the phone with a Dear Friend of mine, I was multi-tasking, telling her what I was making… she, giving me her version… Let me back up a bit. I’d seen these beautiful Christmas decorations… and they were SIMPLE. Food…
Library Silent Auction
Another fun Open House at the library… over 50 people attended… and we raised just over $1000! Yay! My little HoHoHo earned us $22, and my little jar of home-made vanilla extract scored $25! I shall NOT divulge how much I spent on other items, however! But I will tell you what they are. I…
Failure and Happiness
Well, poo. Tomorrow’s the library’s silent auction and I didn’t finish up everything I had planned. Too many ideas and not enough time! The project that has slowed me up the most is the photo transfer I wanted to do. Finding the right combination of gel medium, paper, printer, etc. has slowed the process way…
