Everyone Say, “Awwwwww”
Snow again. 4″ of white stuff with an inch of slush underneath… yes, we’re back to ooee-gooeey mud! Not that we had dried up from the last storm. I had to drive into Ten Sleep this morning… again, 4 miles down the road, there was just a skiff. We’re just special, I guess! I had…
Say, What?
Dally ignores my chickens as they happily scratch through the brown grass to the green shoots below. She is baking in the sun, panting at the highs in the ’50˚s! Heated to the mellow, sleep stage, I imagine her simply whispering, “eh? Say, what? huh?”
The Opposite Side
Sometimes it’s good to know what’s on the opposite side of the tree from your chicken coop.
Self Portrait in a Chicken’s Eye
I may have some rushed posts the next few days… I have company in my Indian room, and so my usual late night, hour long, detailed posts will have to be condensed! For tonight… a close-up of one of my chickens provided me with… ME! My silhouette appears in her eye… an unknowing self-portrait at…
The New Girl
Whoooooeee. So, feeling sorry for Victoria, I decided to clean my own refrigerator today… Ha! Not really. I DID clean it, the purpose was to make way for More Food. Then I cleaned and reorganized the pantry. Hey, look. I DON”T need to buy more olives for Thanksgiving! Then there was that short incident about…
New Additions
The flock is growing…
Wrecks
1. First Branding is done. We JUST had enough people, short some of our regulars… but had enough food for more! We had great leftovers for supper! 2. While kicking the cows and calves over The Big Grey Ridge, they had a wreck, which means they’ll be riding again tomorrow, trying to straighten out cows…
Made Me Laugh
Look who gets to free range! Yup, I was going to do this anyway once the snow began to leave… Highly Supervised… but now, since Elsa-the-pheasant-killer is happily running through Dog Heaven, I’m doing this in Less Supervised Mode. Dally ignores them. Lucas-the-original-chicken-killer, watches, and is 90% unfazed by them. They don’t seem to excite…
Wordless Wednesday – “Her Close-Up”
Wordless Wednesday. Her close-up.
Making Progress
Wow. I’m feeling almost human today. It’s been a week of feeling crummy, so I’m SO glad I’m getting back to normal! I actually worked all day at putting my house in order, though I would have much preferred to go steal a sled from Daniel’s house and take Quinlan on a few runs down…
Highlights
Getting organized for Thanksgiving, including cleaning and straightening up my house, occupied most of my day. Unknown to me, the guys moved the heifers from one field to another. Had I known, I would have helped… and of course, taken photos for you! As it was, the most excitement I saw was my washing machine! …
