Once again, our little community came together in support of our ambulance and library. The Harvest Dinner served over 300 people. The school cafeteria was packed. The Friends of the Library were ready with raffle items and auction items. Thanks to everyone for your support. You make Ten Sleep a wonderful place!
Quite the Treat
Victoria texted me a photo of her three boys out observing the eclipse this morning. Oh, crumb. I’ve been all in a tizz trying to get things organized to attend HunterFest and the Harvest Dinner. I had spaced it! I was just loading stuff in the car when I decided I should grab a welding…
First White Layer
Wowza. Two point two inches of rain in the past day and a half! We’re not very used to that much rain at once. This has definitely been a great year for moisture and it has changed the look of the country with green grass *still* at the base of the dry tops. That moisture…
#TBT: Next Assignment, v.2.0
This was first published October 14, 2012. She still hasn’t received her assignment! Earlier this summer, this little pen looked like this: We have used it for some calves, though ever since a big windstorm and our purchase of the Mills Place, it hasn’t done heavy duty. The windstorm did quite the number on the…

Goofing Around Video
After hours on horseback, sometimes it’s fun to get a little silly to brighten up the day. It’s easy to get numb… your legs, your butt, your mind. I made up a radio station and interviewed a few of our crew.
Gate Guardian
This is our “Horse Pasture” where the cows we had gathered the afternoon before got to spend the night. We arrived early, with frost still on the ground, to saddle up. There was a slight delay as some cowboys were sent to bring in three that had given us the slip and more cowboys had…
Breathe
Thanks to those of you who commented on yesterday’s post. I believe they were probably the most thoughtful and heartfelt comments I’ve received. I’ve had to spend a great deal of time in Worland this week and lunch hour was a quiet time. I’d sit out in the sunshine and have to give my stomach…
I Needed This
I needed this. All eight grandkids, my “kids”, two sweet daughters-in-law, and Vernon zipping around somewhere in the side by side. Gorgeous fall day. Horseback. Riding the mountain pasture to prepare to bring them off the top of the mountain tomorrow. “This God forsaken Land” by Juanita Leach has been rolling through my mind lately….
#TBT: Another Day Done, v.2.0
This was first posted October 8, 2012. We preg tested and weaned our last little bunch today as well as helped the neighbors with theirs. We’ve leased some pasture from them, so it’s easy enough to do… You just have to play Shuffle the Cows! Gather our bunch, sort off the calves, start pregging and…

From Rattlesnake Ridge
The skies were dramatic on my way home tonight. The eastern sky draped cloudy sheets over the Big Horn Mountains… The western sky hid behind layers and layers of clouds. Same place, different directions, different moods. Which is your favorite?
