“Hues of Ancient Promise” (Charles Tennyson Turner)
Centennial Traffic
Ranch “outfits”… definition: motorized transportation/work vehicles Four wheelers… Motorcycles… Pickup trucks… “Town” cars… Sometimes we are accused of having too many around here… Each kid has their car… We have 3 pickups… A truck… 3 four wheelers… Two motorcycles… My Durango… Johnny’s car… But NEVER. NEVER. Has this ranch seen this many cars at once!…
Centennial Song
One of THE best things from our Centennial Celebration was this song, written and sung by our friend Joe Bain from Crowheart, Wyoming. We’ve known Joe a loooong time, and were thrilled with this composition! One Hundred Years Ago ©2009, Joe Bain Greet Ranch Centennial Song from Carol Greet on Vimeo. By the Nowood River…
Centennial Celebration
Over 100 relatives… Fed over 300 family and friends… Launched my book Red Dirt in My Soul… Talked and talked… Hugged and hugged again… Took very few pictures unfortunately… Relying on others for that… Legs are tired… Left my camera in a car over there… So no photos tonight… Need to put my feet up…
P.’s Parable

Mountain Trail
I need to put off my other Kids’ Rodeo pictures for a bit and share the ones from yesterday. My sister was official photographer… The focus (pun intended) of her pictures is a bit different from mine… First, she takes more photos of people… (Like me visiting with my mother as we take a break)…
Bogged Down
Left home at 4 am… Returned at 8 pm… Successfully moved stock to lower mountain pasture… Horses, dogs, people tired… Can you read Dally’s expression of exhaustion??? She did very well chasing cows out of bogs today… but her look says it all… Whew… Did I really really want to be a cowdog when I…
Many Faces of Kids’ Rodeo
While I should be cleaning my house… I have company coming… I figured I better get this posted or it wouldn’t happen later! Kids’ Rodeo… synonymous with hottestdayinJuly/slowerthanmolasses/cuterthancute/whyinthe’elldowedothis? But boy! you end up with some cutie photos! Typical Grand Entry Posting of the Colors… until you notice the Wyoming flag bearer is kinda dressed “funny”……
Kids’ Rodeo
I did ambulance standby for the Ten Sleep Kids’ Rodeo today. I’ve helped off and on with this activity since my kids were little… read 15 years or so… I managed to acquire a few good photos… and a few funny stories… but I beg that you let me tell them tomorrow… The hour is…
