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…
Meet Brownie
Yesterday as we kicked those 100 pairs out on grass, Vernon was test driving a new horse. Meet the brown horse. No name. Well, there’s probably a name on his papers, but we haven’t seen them. Pretty papers don’t make a good horse… so we’ll look at them if we buy him. “Brownie” works for…
Pairs
A while back, someone asked about eartags… Every place is different, keep that in mind… but here our system is pretty simple. If a cow is born is 2004… her eartag will start with a 4. Rarely do we keep cows over ten years, so this usually isn’t a problem having one from 1994 as…
Wordless Wednesday- “The Green Comes Creeping”
Wordless Wednesday for this week… “and the green comes creeping back into the fields…”
