I awoke to 3” of wet, wet snow and sideways wind. Not the finest of weather, but much better than Wyoming further east where 1-2 feet of snow has fallen and created many a tall drift. We’re grateful for the moisture and five miles down the road, the snow was simply rain… Tasha was outgoing,…
Tea and Tasha
The Ten Sleep Library will be hosting a ”Spot of Tea” and Silent Auction tomorrow, with special guest, author Tasha Alexander. Tasha Alexander is the author of the Lady Emily mystery series. Set in Victorian England of the 1890-1900’s, Tasha’s books also roam across the area, from Paris to Greece, Germany to Africa. My favorite…
#TBT: ”Done”, v.2.0
This was first posted April 25, 2011. Just to show that some things change and some things remain the same… Well, well… We did it. Four trips to Shaw Pasture with varying amounts of cows and their calves and our yearling steers. It is a LONGLONG trip with baby calves. I puttered around…

Spring Air
All right… my eyes are slamming shut. It was a busy day. I spent time on cleaning up from branding cooking. Then started to plant a few new trees, but I ran out of time and met up with Brandon, Daniel, Megan, and Vernon to pair out some cows across the highway. I think I…
One More Time!
Somehow, we’re crazy enough to cook a big meal for Easter for 15 people, then turn around (wash all those dishes) and cook a meal for 31 great neighbors who helped us brand today! Yes, there are dirty crock pots sitting in my kitchen. Yes, my house is a disaster. Yes, I’m too tired to…
Garden Tower Video
Here’s the video I made about my “After the Bell’s” garden tower. Over two days, the kids and I assembled, filled with dirt, and planted our tower. Of course, there’s been snow on the ground, so it hasn’t spent any time in the sunshine, but it is together… Our center compost tower has only a…
Brightening the Day
A cold, grey day… so I decided to brighten it up! Light switch covers… After I spray this with an acrylic coat, I’ll remove the bucking horse sticker, which will show white underneath. There is red, orange, and golden yellow paintbrush all on this mug…
#TBT: ”My Saddle Hurts”, v.2.0
This was first posted April 15, 2011. I’m paying for my winter of inactivity… ouchy. As we say out here… “My saddle hurts.” We sorted off some of our babies and their mommas and kicked them out onto green grass today… Three people. Three horses. Three dogs. I think we probably…
Wordless Wednesday: “Brittle Cold”

Snow
Well, we usually get an Easter storm… and I hope that this one counts as such. I awoke to this… and quickly decided that the guys might need someone to help haul baby calves to the warmth of the calving shed. I swiped off the 5 or so inches of snow on my Durango… lay…
