It was a day of extremes… we have bad weather like much of the nation, it was cold, but not horrid, we have snow, but not a lot. The roads weren’t great, but passable. It was something else. I attended a funeral of a Girl Scout boss and inspiration… wearing my pins and scarf to…

Jaxon
Ah… I do believe we have some of the best lookin’ cowboys around! I’ll prove it! Tomorrow is his official birthday, though we’ve had his party already, so here’s wishing this big boy a very happy fourth birthday!
God Bless America
Well, we can all do with a reminder, eh? Quinlan has learned this at school… and I’m obliging him by posting it. God Bless America from Carol Greet on Vimeo. **** The story that goes with this… I’ve posted his first take, cutting him off before he asked me if he was supposed to sing…
Quinlan
Couldn’t help myself… I talked myself out of working today, after doing some dishes and minor projects, and went and kidnapped Quinlan. We’ve wanted to make a Cowboy Counting Book together, so off we went! We climbed around the barn, and loading chute, and tractors, and toys… 111 photos later, we stopped! When I get…

I didn’t have a chance to go back to Longmire Days today… and, yes, seeing friends’ photo posts on Facebook with actors, directors, and production folks have made me a slight shade of green. (There are lots of live videos on Craig Johnson’s Facebook page you can watch if you’re interested) But, after my late…
Two
The guys were called out with the first lightning fires of the season. It’s awfully early to start fighting fire. I didn’t venture down to see if I could get a photo or two… But I did take some photos today. Tess asked me to take some of Lacee for her two year old photos……
North x Northwest
With branding over, it’s now time to split up the herd into smaller ones. The guys like to do this since it is so much easier to see which bulls are with which cows… They spend a great deal of time discussing “If we put this bull here with that bull, then we have such-n-such…
Dream Day
Five kids, three adults, and a morning searching for fossils! We knew they were there somewhere, and taking two dinosaur-happy boys out to find belemnites, aka fossilized squid, was perfect. We put them on the spot and let them find them (with just a little encouragement… possibly… maybe…) My partner was often Miss Lorelei… who…
Happiness!
Well, the past two days have been sooooo enjoyable… If you’ve been around FOREVER as one of my readers… you’ll remember I used to share the adventures of my Cousin Robb. He toured the world, sending AMAZING photos along the way. He’s traveling through Wyoming and stopped to visit. Fortunately, my sister and brother and…
Loved
Rumor has it, someone had a second birthday party today. Here’s hoping it was full of thrills. Our best to you, Miss Lorelei! You are loved.
More Spit Than Bubbles
Sometimes life is Pretty Darn Good. Things seem to go along as planned… Oh, sure, once in a while things crop up that pose challenges. But nothing that a little hard work won’t eventually overcome. If you think about it… LIFE’S GREAT! and pretty cool. Even if there’s more spit than bubbles. Remember those great,…
Sweet
Another snowy and stormy day at my house… I unexpectedly ended up babysitting Jaxon and Lacee… but what a good day to snuggle in and make Easter nest cookies, right? Plus have a pot of beans on the stove… I was surprised that Vernon, too, hung around the house more than usual. I mean, there…
