Compared to the greyness of yesterday… intensified by my use of black and white photography… today was almost a painful blue… The first shot, I was really looking at Daniel in the rearview… the second, at our shadow on the creek ice. They are almost exactly in the same spot… pretty good for a moving…

Feeding Two Video
I started this last time with the Feeding One Video… how to load your hay trailer! Now it’s on to pitching that hay to the cows. Johnny’s driving, and I’m riding on the trailer. With a bit of a breeze and the movement of the trailer, the wind chill now hits a low that squeezes…
New Addition
No, it’s not a new calf… we still have a few weeks before that happens… Remember my Indian Room? the first room completed (still no curtains and the baseboard needs finished but done enough!) out of my entire house? Well, I had a gap next to my desk… and a TON of books on Indians…
Cowboy Culture
Saturday mornings, as I drive my tractor over frozen cow turds, I tune my radio to KTWO, 1030 AM, out of Casper, Wyoming. I do it for one thing only… to listen to “Clear Out West”. That’d be C.O.W. Radio Show starring the Nelson brothers from Pinedale, Wyoming. Cowboy and ranch humorists, farriers, and poets… these…
Questions and Answers – February 2011 Edition
Alice wrote: Do you enjoy flying or do you just tolerate it? Alice, it’s been about 5 years since I’ve flown anywhere… but I don’t mind it. I’d prefer it if it came with a map because I’m always wondering what that is over there, and what kind of crops are in that center pivot, and…
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…
Wordless Wednesday – “What A Paintbrush!”

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…
