While I was off gallivanting with other Wyoming librarians… my family was still working on the ranch… moving cattle this time! It was another exposure for the little boys to help ride and work. I think they loved it! (and I’m sorry I missed it) (photos shamelessly stolen from Megan and Tess)

That Grin
Longmire Days was fun… definitely more people this year, although I really only felt it at the street dance. I didn’t push for photos or autographs, but just enjoyed the visits, the food, the craft fair, the town of Buffalo, aka, Durant, which I enjoy every time I visit. I’ve more to share at a…
Why I Farm
A little while ago, I had a visit from a determined young lady named Natalina Sents. She was working on a project called Why I Farm. Sponsored by Beck’s, a seed company, the goal is simply to recognize farmers (and ranchers!), share their stories, and connect with consumers. Today, only 2% of Americans are farmers. …
Grandkids’ Day
It must have been Grandkids’ Day at the Greet Ranch. Early in the morning, Quinlan gets to try out a neighbor’s “kids’ horse” for the first time. It was an easy ride of a few miles along a road… and to the home place. Then we began to bleed the heifers… gathering a blood sample…
#TBT: Birthday Boy
Happy birthday to Daniel… What an amazing 29 years it’s been!
Third
Well, I told Tess about the great wildflowers, and we decided it was perfect for Lacee’s third birthday photos… I loaned her my old cowboy hat… and I gotta say, the girl rocked my hat!
Party On
While other areas of Wyoming (and just up the road from here) are dealing with a foot or more of new snow… we, luckily, escaped this storm. That’s OK. There’s plenty of moisture around. The guys moved a few cows this morning… and then, we had the party for little miss Lorelei. Three. She’s three!…
Good Times
Snow in the morning… a gorgeous day by afternoon. Quinlan got off the school bus here, his parents late from returning from town. This kid loves to fish… and how can I resist… even with the creek up and muddy… that’s not the point! The grass was an incredible shade… We had an audience. No…
Hike Day
We all had spring fever today! Johnny drove out into the badlands, so did Vernon… different ways! Brandon moved dirt for his big project. Daniel and a friend went horn hunting. The girls and kids and I went for a hike. Jaxon found the name on the rock immediately! (G.H. Rebedeaux 1909) A little cliff…
Just Dandy
Because this photo is just Dandy. He wouldn’t come hug me at the calving shed yesterday because I have the rotten cold that’s been touring the Ten Sleep area as of late. He wouldn’t even take a brownie from me! So I took a picture of him. Yup, that’s my boy… Broncos cap. Check. Sunglasses. …
Christmas Joy
My buddy and I today… I hope you’re enjoying this Christmas week… wishing you the best.
