Well, it took me a while, but here it is.
Reminiscing XXVIII
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. The following is a postscript to the first part of my memories about Christmas at Grandma and Granddad Pyle’s, and other Christmases at the ranch when I was a little kid. Also something about the places and times…
Throwback Thursday: Wrecks, v.2.0
This was, unfortunately, a very memorable day. It was first published June 3, 2014. Yesterday started off with Lucas not avoiding a pickup tire. As soon as I saw it start happening, I closed my eyes, not wanting to see his demise. Well, after a long trip to the vet (where you have an hour…

Won’t Care
It was a neck-jarring, teeth-rattling, iron-wheels-on-cobblestone type drive. The good thing about rain is … well, rain… the bad thing? Rain becomes mud and muddy roads walked on by cattle become the absolutely roughest roads you can drive on. Your muscles get tired from the constant tension from trying to hold yourself together mile after…
Green
Heifers are back from their winter home. With luck and the expertise of Daniel and Brandon, they are also pregnant. We unloaded the three trucks and they soon were on their way to green grass. The heifers were soon munching happily away.
Benefits

Reminiscing XXVII
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. Another time that I got in on the cattle drive from the ranch to Worland, was when Roy Mills and Russel Burgess had a few head each that they threw in with ours. The old Mr. Forman was…
Throwback Thursday: Relish the Light, v.2.0
This was first posted May 31, 2014. Afternoon thunderstorms roll in and by… They may hit with wind and rain and lightning and maybe hail, or they skip around us and all we get is wind! The gust the other day was 55 mph, just a breeze in most of Wyoming, but a good one…

In Sight
While Toria was here, we took a tour out to see the pipeline project. Vernon, Brandon, and Megan had already been working half the day when we arrived, four kids in tow. They had planted the “can” next to the creek, this is where the solar powered pump will boost the water WAY up the…
