While we should be haying along… instead we’re on rain delay. We’re up to .68” for the month of August already. “Make hay while the sun shines” is a truism. You can’t cut hay if the field is wet, the hay is wet, and if it’s cut and laying on the ground, you don’t want…
#TBT: Stop, v.2.0
This was first posted August 4, 2012. I apologize for last night… I sat down to write and poof! no internet. OH, YAY. I just LOVE when that happens. So, I was blessed with a “night off”, although my half hour of pitiful troubleshooting should count for *something*! Meanwhile. Vernon’s been reworking a tiny reservoir…

Summertime Fun
It was time for some summertime fun with cousins… All eight together with plenty of squealing and moss fights and splashing and swimming and floating and kicking and laughing and short lectures and timeouts and back at it again… hopefully, a good summertime fun memory.
Off Camping
At the last minute, I decided to go camping. School will be soon upon us and I wanted to take grandkids camping. Tess and kids bowed out since they’ve been “camping” at fair all week, but Brandon, Megan, and kids, and my sister all volunteered to go. For my Girl Scout friends… yes, notice the…
Horse Trainers
Lately, I’ve been investigating a few tips to help me with my horse. While Milo is basically a good horse… he does have some quirks that I’d like to iron out. I’ve been very lucky with Panama and before him, Willow. They each had a light touch, turning with the minimum of rein pressure. Milo…
Fair Time
It’s the Washakie County Fair and the culmination of Jaxon and Lacee’s many months of work. They each have a steer and a heifer to show. Now I’ve never been a a 4H mom or a fair mom, being a Lifetime member of Girl Scouts… so I’m pretty ignorant of everything. I do know how…

I Like ‘Em
I never shared some of these, and I like them… so…
Picking on Megan
The other evening, we had spent the day at the kids’ horse show… but had to come home and work. Gathering cattle with end of the day heat and the swarms of bugs wasn’t enjoyable, but it would be a short trip. As we made the final section to the fields and corral, the light…
Traffic Jam
Finally! FINALLY! All of our cows are out of the heat and bugs of the flats where it reached 96° today and up on top of the Big Horn Mountains, where I don’t t know the temperature, but I can testify it was cooler! Instead of dumping the cows in our corral and trailing them…
