I rolled out of bed this morning and stumbled into the living room. I did a double take… There was SNOW on the ground. Good Grief! It wasn’t much, but there nonetheless. By the time I made it outside, most of the snow was melted. The puppies looked like this: Cold and shivering, they mobbed…
Gardening Dogs
Do you know the old joke about the guy who wanted to be a turkey farmer??? He returned twice to the hatchery where he’d purchased his turkeys… each time saying all his turkeys had died. The third time the hatchery owner asked him specifically what he was doing with them that he had such a…
Puppy Video at 6 Weeks
This has taken WAY too much time… and I don’t like it… I thought I could remove the original sound and cover it with music… but somehow I couldn’t figure out how… so if you are an Imovie expert… please contact me and tell me how to do this. I KNOW it can be done,…
Disagreements
I am working on a puppy video… but between having only a little tape, eleven puppies, and now, a dead battery… I’ve been slowed down. Sigh. I’ll get it tomorrow. But for now… here’s an insight into puppy disagreements and family dynamics. Puppy disagreements from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Big Trails
I’ve been painting a fair amount up at the Mills Place… every room needs painted and I’ve only painted the kitchen… now most of the mud room… next will be the office. I take Lucas with me 99% of the time… he lost out day before yesterday when he had helped with some corral work…
Low Light
I tried to get some photos of 5 bull elk in our field last night. Their antlers have shed, of course, but, body-wise… they were big bulls. However, it was dark-thirty, and I’m very bad at taking pictures in low light. From the top of a 4 wheeler. While it is moving. And the subjects…
Past 24 Hours
Day before yesterday we had snow in the morning, it switched to rain… then the sun came out.. then this hailstorm was accompanied by thunder and lightning… all in 12 hours… Wonderful Wyoming! Last night coming home from painting up at the Mills place, these three toms were busy fighting and strutting. By the time…
Ick!
The major difference with this litter and the one in 2007 is that without 6 or 8 inches of snow to keep them confined.. this litter is EVERYWHERE! They are all over my lawn (and pooping all over it too!) They even sneak under a fence next to their wood shed home. They are at…
Old Vs. New OOPE
Moving cattle the other day… down the highway… on a big curve… this appears… EEEEEK! It’s a SEMI!!! Nah… no, worries, mate… we have signs on the road warning of CATTLE ON ROAD, and around here, truckers know to believe the signs… and they come slow. But this shows the differences between the “old” ways…
Wordless Wednesday – “Cowboyin’ “
Cowboyin’ is my entry for this Wordless Wednesday.
Guest
Rarely, if ever, have I posted anything slightly political on this blog… but I just read Bush Babe of Granite Glen’s blog… a counterpart (ranchwife) over in Australia. I check her blog as well as Just Another Day on the Prairie, an Alberta, Canada, ranchwife. They both crack me up… repeatedly. The links to their…
Ponies
If you’re one of our horses… you need patience. You need to wait when we doctor, sort in the corral, eartag, eat lunch, and do a hundred other things. You get to take naps and swish flies (though the fly population hasn’t exploded yet!). You get to get used to your buddy and not get…
