Happy Girl
My help was requested this morning, so I found myself driving the tractor and even pitching a little hay. It was a VERY nice morning… in the 20’s… so that means 50 degrees warmer than the other day! Plus, driving the tractor also means *heater* and *radio*. Koosh life. <How do you spell koosh? cush?…
Plenty
Today was my Master Cattleman class again… this time it was on budgeting. Yeah, one of those classes where you need to pay attention (I did) but inside you’re dreading having to deal with money! I told Vernon years ago… I’m no good with money. I *could* be… but just don’t want to deal with…

Feeding One Video
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Vimeo gets my Feeding One video ready to go before I have to go “home” tonight. I got a late start editing and it really is probably too long for most of you to watch… but it was *quit editing and get it uploaded* or forget about it until…
Sundogs
OK. I can tell this halfway living in two houses at once is gonna get difficult. My computer’s here, but I was there, and when I WAS here, I was busy. Got it? That’s my Excuse For The Day and I’m sticking with it. Plus… A frozen bale and a loose grass bale with a…
What I Have To Work With…
WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWOOOOOO. That’s my imitation of a fog horn… and boy! did we need one today! Fog set in and STAYED. All Day. All DAY! How weird is that? Wyoming’s not known for fog… moisture in the air just doesn’t happen that often… But we were proud recipients today! I’m still on Pitching Duty, so I…
First Night
Well, it happened finally. We spent our first night at the Mills Place. I need to rename it to something like the South Forty or Big Trails or some such name… but it will probably be the Mills Place for the next 30 years… No, we’re not completely moved… far from it! It’s kinda like…
Here I Is…

Yeehaw!
Today I began a class offered in Ten Sleep entitled Master Cattleman. It is put on by our Extension Office in cooperation with the University of Wyoming. It is an 8 week course… 3 hours every Thursday… on different topics ranchers might be interested in to improve their operation. (Check with your state to see…
Wordless Wednesday – “Dirty Bird/Dirty Look”
Pinyon Jays are the bane of my bird feeder… I try to feed the small songbirds… but the large Pinyon Jays can clean out my feeder in minutes! My pitiful attempts to thwart their thievery have failed… dirty birds… I don’t think he likes me either! **** January 26, 2010 No entry. January 26,…
BoomTrax
Goodness. I know this happens periodically around here… My mind goes a bazillion different ways. Maybe because we’ve worked cattle and moved cattle. We’ve played in the snow. We’ve gone to town (I know, big woohoo to you city folk, but hey, it *can* be exciting… plus I have a new haircut! <batseyelashes> I have…
