When spring comes, that itchy winter hair needs to disappear! Two of our horses help each other out in this trio of photos… “You Scratch My Back… and I’ll Scratch Yours…”
Garden – Potato 101
I spent the morning writing our ranch’s centennial story. They publish a book full of stories from each year’s Wyoming’s Centennial Farms and Ranches. Though our centennial was last year, they are just now collecting stories. For those of you who missed our party, you might investigate some entries from July of last year… I…
Sore
OK. Sore. Sore. <groan> I am so ready for a soak in a hot tub… but I don’t own one. It’s not that we traveled a lot of distance as the crow flies… it was like six or seven miles total crow distance… or that we kicked hundreds of pairs out… it was more like…
Blue Sky Gift
Wonderful Wyoming did it again… We awoke to rain with an occasional snowflake. For a bit, it was a full blizzard, then it backed off! Needless to say, Vernon voted for his tractor and plowing again, and I blasted off for the Mills Place to throw some paint on the walls. I painted ceilings first,…
Heading Home
After a couple of days of dismal weather, you couldn’t have asked for a better setting. Today was absolutely gorgeous Wyoming weather! Which was helpful, since we were trying to take the big bunch out to the hills. Since my little Panasonic camera is now kaput, I resorted to my OOPE style of photography. For…
Called for Rain
Our plan was to ride yesterday and today, kicking more pairs out to grass. Since yesterday threatened rain and thunderstorms, we decided to move the bulls to their bull pasture just over a mile away. I was mounted on Panama, the guys on their four-wheelers since it is road 90% of the way… I was…
Elsa’s Day at Work
Yesterday’s work totaled enough photos I just decided to make you a slideshow… Remember this is from my angle atop Panama… so his ears are in almost every shot! The black Aussie is, of course, Boomer… The border collie is Sam, Johnny’s dog. And Elsa… re-haired after blowing her coat after her last litter… and…
Wordless Wednesday – “Bittersweet Sunset”
The brilliant bittersweet orange color flavors this sunset…
Not One Photo
I have already fallen asleep on the couch tonight, generally not my usual program! But the day began with some nice activity… working on my flowerbeds… then a brief spell of housecleaning and beading on Victoria’s wedding veil. I was waiting for Vernon to come and get me, because our plan was to weigh and…
Creative Attempts
Random photos… Trying to be creative and not really succeeding… But today was a trip-to-the-city-of-Worland day… Wanna hear about salt loading, dog food buying, vet visiting, or grocery shopping? Didn’t think so, so here’s something to look at instead! Tomorrow is weighing, pouring, and cowboying steers… come on back! Dally back lit by the campfire……
Agility
While Victoria, Matt, Jazz, and Sadie were here… we decided to play a little agility one morning. Sadie learned about the chute… She caught on quickly… She’d circle the chute on her own… and even after we quit… she’d do a few extra loops… and then she settled down. Inside the chute! Then it was…
Night Falls Softly
Although we did manage to accomplish a few different jobs today… we again decided to take a picnic supper out to enjoy the fairly nice evening. It’s been cloudy all day, but warm, and with Victoria and Matt here until tomorrow, it was time to enjoy a break. This time we went to the creek…
