Mother’s Day Drive included one of my favorite drives. We don’t take it often because it isn’t a main or important drive to keep an eye on our cattle. It is absolutely gorgeous, though… with clouds and light creating different moods. It’s so weird to see this country from this angle. Remember the Bubbles? Rock…

Aurora
Gotta jump on the aurora bandwagon… After the 32 second time lapse for the aurora, I “ painted” my flag with a brief exposure to my flashlight. I think it looks like a very bad photoshop version! South seemed to have more red. Ignore the power pole! The airplane trail made this pic awesome! I…
Reminiscing XXIV
This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. When we started down the other side, we dropped quite rapidly the first mile and a half. It was a nice, sunny day and we enjoyed the colorful landscape of the gumbo and bentonite terrain, accented with snow…

Wordless Wednesday: Wyoming Spring
For a puzzle of our latest Wyoming snowstorm this morning, go HERE. While half of this puzzle is sure to be a challenge, I could have made it worse by including much more of the flat grey sky!

Welding and Execution
I may have felt some success today in changing out my front door handle… which has been a pain in rear, making entry into my house extremely difficult at times! Then I walked to the shop to see how the guys are getting along… Our pipe trailer is almost complete! Practically from scratch… they have…

Don’t You?
When it’s been pouring rain and you decide to head to town You simply must stop to see how impressed the owl family is about this lovely moisture. I do believe she’s thrilled. Don’t you? (For the record, 1.54” today)

Divide and Conquer
Now that the majority of our cows are out on their own, it’s time to divide and conquer more farming type chores… our weather remains unsettled… a few nice warm springlike days followed by cold and wind and a snowstorm or two, but, yes, farming is upon us. Daniel makes repairs to the sprayer… Vernon…
