This video shows our hard work yesterday much better than my OOPE photos! I believe I’ve outlined the basics of what we are doing on the video… but should you have any questions, please leave a comment and I’ll try to answer or clarify anything. I usually give the vaccinations… but Vernon took…
Ugh. Preg Test OOPE and exhaustion
This day has a reputation of being one of the longest, loudest, and most frustrating days of the year. It is the day we pregnancy test our cows and yearling heifers. This year went remarkably well… but I’m still… sore from being on my feet… deaf from listening to the generator for the vet’s hydraulic…
Mountain OOPE
My collection of OOPE photos continues to grow. I’ve always just stuck the camera in my pocket (hence the Out Of Pocket Experience title!)… but when it is 90 degrees outside… a coat or sweatshirt with pockets just doesn’t cut it! For those of you new to the OOPE photos… see the sidebar for more……
Wordless Wednesday – Mother Nature’s Finale
The Finale of Mother Nature’s Dance!
Fifteen Years Ago… and a few Days
I have to continue the story from the other day… the day A. and I spent dusting off our vintage memories… sharing them with her husband V. … (Their blog of this is at alivincedath.blogspot.com) because… because… dammit!… that Girl Scout camp meant SO MUCH to me and so many other girls! I bawled and…
Mother Nature’s Dance
I am sorry I didn’t post last night. I am sorry I didn’t post last night. I am sorry I didn’t post last night. A. and V. and Vernon and I were caught up in a dance with Mother Nature last night. We had a little too much of this going on… Just at sundown,…
Fifteen Years Ago…
Yesterday my friends arrived from New Zealand. A. and her husband, V. Now… as some of you may know… time sure flies by… A. and I worked together at a place once known as Girl Scout National Center West. It was the ultimate camp for Girl Scouts back then… much like the Boy Scouts’ Philmont….
What’s going on?
Boy, back in the day… my mother could say… “What’s going on here?” and my heart would stop! Who am I kidding… She STILL makes my heart stop if she asks that and the tone is JUST RIGHT… That’s what this red tail hawk seems to be saying as he perched over my head. This…
Cerberus
From the depths of darkness… emerging from the gates of Hades… I give you… Cerberus… the multi-headed dog who guards the underworld! Forced upward atop an ancient cedar… splitting stone in its struggle to escape from Hades… Cerberus emerges into the light of day in the middle of Wyoming… Completing its journey from hell into…
Wordless Wednesday – Romantic Glow
The sunset creates a romantic glow… ha! in Lucas’ dreams… see yesterday’s post!
Moody Blues
If you’ve ever been around dogs, i.e. bred dogs, you’ll know the “moody blues”. Lucas is that moody dog. The one that lays outside of the girls’ kennel when they are penned. He mopes. I think his lower lip ACTUALLY sticks out in a pout. On occasion he howls. Not a coyote howl… a pitiful……
Web Design and Lottery
I’d love to develop another web site… and I’d like to win 100 million dollars… Whichever will come first is anyone’s guess… I don’t have time for the first and I don’t live in a state with a lottery… Though I’d hire someone who is good at web development. I offered the job to my…
