I have another early morning heading my way. I’m supposed to roll out about 4:15, be ready to leave my house by 4:50. Drive to Worland to be there around 5:50. Why? Because this last pair… these cutey patooties… Stocky Stormy with her wild left ear, and Niobrara with her slight build and high set…
Dog Gone Long Day
Saturday’s trail drive covered about 12 miles. The elevation rose from 5100′ to about 7700′. It took from about 5 am to 4 pm. Of course, we had two stops to rest in there, once after a big hill climb, once for lunch. We then waited two more hours to let them settle down and…
Bits of My Day
Yup. Pretty much recovered… although I haven’t had a very stressful day. The guys have, as they were called out on a lightning fire this afternoon. It was popping all around us, and I was sent to watch for smoke around here, while the guys went to the fire. The plan was to call dispatch…
Morning Light
Let me take a wild guess… at 3:30 this morning, you were asleep in bed… having a little REM action. All comfy. Yeah, well, I’m jealous! When we move our cows to our mountain pasture, you’ve got to be on your horse and riding in the dark to get to the right spot just as…
Hunting Lessons
Jireh left today to her new family… I think she’s going to have a *wonderful* time! Afterwards the last two pups started following Elsa and Dally and I followed them. It quickly sank in what was going on. Stormy and Nioby were being taught how to hunt moles. A favorite place is along the fenceline…
Soapy Smile
I’ve been meaning to share something I did a few weeks ago… One of my pet peeves is laundry detergent. Don’t ask me how I got this way, but it always seems to be a fight to find what I want for the price I want to pay. Unless I manage a 4 hour trip…
Wordless Wednesday – “Headin’ For the Hills”
Paired up and headin’ for the hills where it’s cooler! **** August 3, 2010 Cowgirl Happiness August 3, 2009 Another Day of Riding August 3, 2008 No entry.
One Day
We moved the last of our cattle that are down low to our Mesa Pasture early this morning. Dally was my dog of the day… and it wasn’t very long before she was soaking wet from the heavy dew that lay on the grass and in the willows. It was easy to see how she’s…
Minute Movie – “Dragonflies”
Well, Monday Movies has transformed into Minute Movies… Why limit myself to Mondays?? I *loved* everyone’s ideas for topics for the movies… and peaceful natural settings seemed to be at the top of the list. While this one doesn’t show the scenery or the distances of Wyoming, this closeup experience of a mountain pond casts…
The Final Four
For the past few days, there have been the Final Four. Four pups waiting for rides to their new homes. Five had already taken their journeys, and I’ve actually received photos of some of them in their new surroundings! When they’ve all reached their new homes, I’ll share… But this morning, Husker was due to…
Four Amigos
Too late. Too tired. Please stay tuned! Enjoy the Four Amigos! **** July 30, 2010 We’re Smiling Here July 30, 2009 Red Dirt In My Soul July 30, 2008 No entry.
Remnants Stand
Through these doors walked strong men and women… We cannot imagine what life was like for them. The thought of their work load is staggering. Still their remnants stand, and I wonder… What part of me will be here in 100 years? **** July 29, 2010 Drenched July 29, 2009 Wordless Wednesday –…
