Reminiscing XXVII
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. Another time that I got in on the cattle drive from the ranch to Worland, was when Roy Mills and Russel Burgess had a few head each that they threw in with ours. The old Mr. Forman was…
Throwback Thursday: Relish the Light, v.2.0
This was first posted May 31, 2014. Afternoon thunderstorms roll in and by… They may hit with wind and rain and lightning and maybe hail, or they skip around us and all we get is wind! The gust the other day was 55 mph, just a breeze in most of Wyoming, but a good one…
Wordless Wednesday: Favorite View

In Sight
While Toria was here, we took a tour out to see the pipeline project. Vernon, Brandon, and Megan had already been working half the day when we arrived, four kids in tow. They had planted the “can” next to the creek, this is where the solar powered pump will boost the water WAY up the…
Busy Time
Victoria and crew showed up a couple days early, so, YAY! After a rainy morning, we ended the evening with a joint birthday party for Daniel and Lacee. Hamburgers and ice cream cake and funfetti cake made for a nice supper combo. Then, of course, Toria and I stayed up late visiting. Precious “cousin time”…
A Start
Earlier than usual… the Ten Sleep Kids’ Rodeo was held today. Nice and cool, not sweltering hot like in the end of July. It didn’t even rain as predicted! I usually put together a movie of it… and since there wasn’t time to do that this afternoon, I’ll just start with this.
Reminiscing XXVI
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. It was a nice sunny day, and we enjoyed trailing our cattle. It seemed as though the whole world belonged to us, for we hadn’t seen another soul since very early the day before. Maybe I should point…
Throwback Thursday: Mounting Evidence, v.2.0
This was first posted May 25, 2014. Today we began our AI program. Well, the hard work part of it at least! For the next few days, the boys (and Victoria when she shows up) will Artificially Inseminate our heifers. We’ve done this for a few years now, and continue to be happy enough with…
Wordless Wednesday: Scattered Showers
For a jigsaw puzzle of these scattered showers, go HERE.
May Snow Showers
Yes, snow. And 1.54” of rain. A friend posted they had 17” of snow on the mountain! A fundraiser for some of the kids planning an agricultural tour of northern Italy next year (including Quinlan) was tonight’s entertainment. Liam and Layne Jordan are in Quinlan’s 7th grade class and are quite talented! They’ve played at…
High Water
Back to the pipeline construction… The water tank is 13’ across… It is a tire from some huge piece of mining equipment that’s been cut in half. It was quite the sight to see. It had a few inches of water in it from the recent rains adding to its weight. They couldn’t lift it…
