Pet peeve #532. So fifty feet away from Quinlan and I, is a corral full of commercial Angus… and I have to read a “farm” book to my grandson where all the cows are spotted. Please, someone write a kid’s book where there are BEEF cattle represented! Sigh. **** September 16, 2011 Eggs and Tomatoes…

Git ’em!
Long day. Great morning… riding through the trees… listening to elk bugle! Took video, it’s dusty and noisy with wind and camera noise, but if you pay attention, you definitely hear those bulls bugling and grunting. No time to upload it, though, after getting home, I started cooking for tomorrow’s big day. Maybe in a…
He’s Baaaaaaack!
He’s baaaaaaack! Just the other day, my entry from 2010 was about Rocky. Well, Rocky is back for another visit! I really wouldn’t mind running a boarding kennel… and Rocky doesn’t seem to think this is such a *bad* place… He’s managed to be taken on a walk every day he’s been here. Nose to…

Upon the Ground
The gate post was wrapped in smooth wire. The barbed version was saved for the gate and connected fence. Tacked with fence staples was an decrepit sign, illegible due to occasional rain, fiercely driven snow, and brutal wind that sandblasted the words into the cosmos. Although this day was respectable, she’d met each variety of…
Quick Shot
Up the mountain we went today! These cows have been in what we call “The Partnership” pasture. This time of year is a bit late to be headed UP the mountain, but with our overabundance of larkspur in our mountain pasture (it’s kinda pretty, but deadly poisonous to cattle, until it’s dried up) we have…
Just Wait!
I didn’t take one picture today. Guess I’m saving it all for tomorrow, as we gather “The Partnership” Pasture and move that bunch of cows up the hill. It’ll be a full day of cowboying, so I should come home with tons of photos! Tonight I’m going to be a sissy and just head for…
Definitely A Blessing
The past three days, I’ve had a visitor. While I’ve had to dress up and work at the Ten Sleep Library, my visitor has donned work clothes, gloves, and air mask… and he’s shoveled out my chicken coop/studio! YAYYYYYYY! My sweet sweet nephew, R., came up on his way to Billings and has sweated and…
Many Blessings
While ranch work consumes the guys, as usual, and I march off to my day job at the library, bits and pieces of blessings flow around us. First, remember these, my Red Dirt shirts I made to benefit the Washakie County Library Endowment? They were sold at a silent auction fundraiser. The characters of Henry…
Wordless Wednesday – “Trailing Sheep”
For WW this week, as we crossed the Big Horn Mountains yesterday, we passed through this large band of sheep trailing to new pasture. This is a lot of wool and mutton! **** September 5, 2011 Labor Day… Yeah, About That… September 5, 2010 Something You’ll Like September 5, 2009 Pregnancy Testing Video September 5,…
