Hay dust filters through the sunlight, drifting in lazy circles until it settles back on wooden edges. Ancient grain, a pile of manure (well-aged), mice scent, and dried out leather add to the ambience as I wonder at the memories held in these log walls. Memories that don’t belong to me, yet I can feel…
Mighty Fight
Believe it or not, it’s 41 degrees outside and RAINING. I know Western Wyoming received up to 13″ of snow today, but here, we have rain. Rain on top of snow, for those of you who live in the tropics, makes for what we here in Wyoming would call “OneHellOfAMess”. When it dips back down…
The Next One
Wow. Vernon and I have both been miserable with the flu the past two days. We even cancelled our big vaccination day! Blech. I’m just now starting to feel “normal” again. We don’t get hit very often with colds or flu… just because we don’t get out in public too much, I guess, so this…
Breakfast
Feeling a little under the weather… so just another photo today! BREAKFAST! **** January 19, 2011 Wordless Wednesday – “It Came From Beyond” January 19, 2010 no entry January 19, 2009 Dally Learns (Video)

Clostridium Perfringens Type C
Kudos to you if you know what that is. Or not… depending on how you look at things. Because if you know this bovine illness, you know its consequences, and you know sometimes it’s not pretty. Let me back up and use some English. We vaccinated our heifers today… before we know it, it’ll be…
How To Switch Your Blog to WordPress, Step One
I’m busy busy with this blog… can you tell? I know… the switch to this layout was the first of a *few* changes… or so I thought. It’s turning into a much LARGER project. After traumatic phone calls… lots of *bangsheadondesk* action… a few tears… more than a single expletive phrase being tossed around my…
Minute Movie : “Big Country”
Ha. I made it out there. Vernon really wasn’t too concerned about leaving the pickup and horsetrailer out in the Badlands… but I volunteered to go along and bring it home anyway! I could have stayed home, I think, fairly easily… but it just doesn’t seem right! There were plenty of neighbors riding… and John,…
According to Plan
Well, things didn’t work out quite like I had planned… so I was not a partner in the badlands roundup today… I stayed in… organized on my craft room a bit… went through some boxes of my old stuff… got things ready for… get this… MY BRAND NEW WATER HEATER! SCORE! It will be a…
Twitter in 5 Basic Steps
This blog has led to me to great people over the years… and that’s the part I like the best! Putting myself out to another group of followers (besides Blog Readers) led me to Twitter (and in case you haven’t noticed a NEW Facebook page for Red Dirt In My Soul is in the works!)….
Q-utie, QT, Cutie!
I wasn’t going to use this. Then I was. Then I wasn’t. Then I looked at him again… And I just can’t resist! Besides, you don’t want to hear about my computer frustrations and cleaning my pantry which is all that occupied my day today… This is MUCHMUCH better! Here’s my Q-utie! (QT?) CUTIE! Cutie…
