Day Off

Posted on July 11, 2023July 11, 2023

Day “off”. They loaded cattle on trucks first thing this morning… Then everyone followed the trucks up the mountain to pair them up and trail them to the pasture. I stayed home and did three loads of laundry, a dishwasher load, mowed the yard and started to water it, played a bit with Quinlan and…

Ugly Win

Posted on July 10, 2023

Another morning. Another ride. I could take a zillion photos of these two… I never tire of seeing them ride together. I hope they always do. Today’s challenge… Up, down, back, forth, and two loops by the guys, plus random trips by Vernon on his four wheeler… while Jaxon had the job of holding the…

Haying Weather Finally

Posted on July 9, 2023

When the shadows are long, we set out… Past broken dreams… To country I barely recognize. Green. Not dusty. Water standing in draws where I’ve never seen water. These storms have been a blessing on this country… …splashing neon green among the grey green of sagebrush. We walk by Vernon as he attempts to hay…

Display Ideas?

Posted on July 8, 2023

Vernon’s sister and brother-in-law have been here sorting through Johnny’s house. It’s a big undertaking as many people know. Johnny had cleared out much of his house, but inevitably, after living in one place for 70 years, there was still more to go through. This is one of the “winners” in the “found” objects. A…

Wedding Present

Posted on July 7, 2023

I can share one of my latest alcohol ink creations now since the wedding is over… Congrats to A. and W.! This set of pitcher and salad bowl are decorated with the colors of a high plains summer… I know they’ve spent hours riding horses through the bunch grasses and yarrow I painted on these……

#TBT: Ash Devils, v.2.0

Posted on July 6, 2023

This was first posted July 7, 2012. While the heaviest smoke has lifted, our skies are still filled with the haze of all the wildfires burning… We sit on the edge of our seats, nervous, scanning the skies for smoke trails that will lead us to tiny fires we can dispatch quickly and easily. We…

Before We Knew It

Posted on July 3, 2023

After a rain delay, we loaded the heifers and trucked them to the top of the mountain. After the heat of yesterday, the mountain was absolutely delightful! We mounted up… And, we’re off! The intensity of the green is amazing! Before we knew it, we were done. We tried to think up excuses to stay…

Next Vet?

Posted on July 2, 2023

So Quinlan decided to jump in and help Brandon out by learning how to take a blood sample from our heifers. This way, only a month later after AI, we can test for pregnancy. We will know if the AI worked before they get bred their next cycle from the bull. It will help us…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
