This was first posted July 9, 2015. Today I helped out at Ten Sleep’s summer school! They were going to one of my favorite places, Medicine Lodge State Park, just north of the town of Hyattville. Their theme this summer is “Dig Deep”, so I got to talk archaeology! This is the perfect spot for…

Wild Mountain
After drawing blood to test for pregnancy, it was time for the heifers to go be on the cool mountain. We take them to a leased pasture by semi. Well, at least partway. We unload them from the semis, and then it’s time to trail them across and down to their new pasture. Vernon and…
Cooked
After last week’s move of the cows to the Slope Pasture, the next day was to gather the heifers and pregnancy test them with a blood draw. I arrived late,thinking I was going to stack hay for the trailer to haul it out of the field. It looked like they were short handed, so I…
Can’t Complain
With the holiday and work, I’m falling behind on my posts! After the parade, we strolled through the craft fair. Then we decided to try to eat at Deerhaven Lodge up on the mountain. Anything on the mountain sounds good when you avoid the heat down below! My sister and brother-in-law were keeping us company….
Princess Parade
Lacee was the Ten Sleep Rodeo Princess. Her first duty? Riding in the well attended parade.
Fourth
I hope you had a fantastic Fourth! We toured around the mountain with my sister and brother-in-law, seeing new country, some elk, and a grand patch of wild columbine, the largest I’ve ever seen. It’s gorgeous! Happy Independence Day!
Throwback Thursday: Collapse, v.2.0

That’s what we finally did about 4 this afternoon… after zinging from the opening reception of the Wyoming Grasslands exhibit into final work on our float and supper with Craig and Judy Johnson at the Red Reflet Ranch yesterday and today’s early start to get those last minute details on…

Up Up
We continued the trail to the Slope Pasture, me in the sxs with Reagan, Vernon also following bringing pickup and horse trailer. We’d catch up to the herd… then fall behind as we rolled up old barbed wire… a big danger for horses. Someday, as we keep going up this trail, all of it will…
Close Calls
So branding took up a good morning… starting at 6:30, we were eating delicious breakfast burritos, watermelon, and cookies by 10:00 or so. The neighbors left to go finish out a full day of work and so did we. The next day, it was time to take those cows and calves and head up the…
