So Many Ways
I tend to leave my housework partially finished because I want to do more exciting things… like craft or build or go help the guys… I’ll never win awards for housekeeping and I do regret that lack of ambition… but I want to be outside and wandering out to see what Vernon is doing in…
Moving To High Country Pastures Video
Back to last summer and a couple of weeks of moving cattle up the mountain to various pastures… The scenery is gorgeous with green grass and wildflowers, and there are grandkids living the dream wherever you look!
Tomorrow
Daniel’s little herd has calved, and two days ago, the one cow that Vernon and I own privately calved as well. Yay! Isn’t she cute? Yes, she has shelter and dry ground to lay on, but I guess the snow wasn’t that bad with the 40* temperature. Our heifers are due to start calving on…
Epic
This photo was from Wednesday amid the cold and snow… Today was forty degrees above zero with a brilliant blue sky. Wyoming’s mood swings can be epic. Nevertheless, Vernon is still out there, feeding cows every day. (I’d show you that if my camera would just talk to my iPad. Seriously, do they not realize…
Brittle Blue
For those of you who don’t know what -39* looks like… this is a pretty good photo of it. The creek, where the ice is out of it, is much warmer than the air… and it creates low lying fog along its banks. While most think snow should only be white, I think the more…
#TBT: Un-onslaught, v.2.0
This was first published February 27, 2012. I keep waiting for it to “HIT”. The rush of baby calves. The flow of amniotic fluid… the grunts of labor… the slimywetcuterthansnot black babies that (hopefully) slip into this world… the steam that rises from their backs… the first shake of a head and blow of a…
Wordless Wednesday: Feathers
Here’s a tough one! For this jigsaw puzzle of one of my chicken’s feathers, go HERE.
Soaking Up the Sunshine
A day full of housework gets to reward you with a bonus puzzle this week. I was tempted to call it “Chicken Dust” but “Soaking up the Sunshine” will do. Go enjoy this jigsaw puzzle HERE.
Mineral Trip
The next snow storm arrives tomorrow so Vernon decided to drive to Cody *today* to pick up our order of mineral. Mineral provides supplemental minerals to cattle, improving their health. That sounds very silly, but how else can you say it? Think of it as a “multivitamin”. Buying four pallet loads means you just can’t…
Tasty
Our nice and sunny is headed for nasty and cloudy, AGAIN. Storms and the resulting changes in air pressure can bring on labor. Even though the majority of our heifers should calve starting the 27th of February, weather and low birthweight bulls (used on our heifers for ease in calving their first babies) can slightly…
Action
More photos from yesterday… (I still couldn’t get them to download to my iPad, but a direct line to my desktop works, so I did manage to save these photos…) Indy and Bravo run alongside each other trying to catch up to the herd. We are all on four wheelers or side by side, the…
