While the Labor Day weekend has been full of company and activities, most pics have been of the grandkids whose photos I can’t post! There’s wading in the creek and sweeping “roads” in the dust on the shop’s concrete floor. There’s riding in the Rhino and fighting with your brother. There’s riding on the Row…

Shiver
Another favorite. “Ernest Greet and Shiver” What a horse Shiver was! and doesn’t it make you wonder… how’d he get that name?
Cool
I feel like I didn’t accomplish much today… They weren’t very physical, I guess! I started to scan some of the old family photos… after figuring out the best way to do it, it went fairly fast. Scanning at a higher dpi slowed the process down extensively, so I didn’t. I imagine I may regret…
Boysen Dam
For any Wyoming history buffs out there… Here are two photos I found interesting. Boysen Dam is south of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Construction began in 1946. It is a rockfill dam, eventually reaching a height of 220′ and length of 1,143′. The crest of the dam is 30′ wide, but the base is over 900′! That’s…
Old Photos
Gah! I’m SO disgusted with myself! I wanted to enter some photos in Casper’s Wild West Photo Fest like I did a couple of years ago… and I kept thinking the entries were due the last of August. I looked at the form today, and the deadline was yesterday. I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF! …
Reminisces 2
Recently we’ve just all gone separate ways, Brandon is often fixing fence on the mountain, or putting out salt and mineral. Daniel is cutting hay. Vernon is repairing things and trying to combine the oats with a too-old swather. I’m trying to finish up painting my house. I started it last summer, then somehow didn’t…
Edward H. Stoll Award
I’d like to quote the US National Weather Service, Riverton, Wyoming because my father-in-law, Johnny, won an award today! They said everything quite well! “We were truly honored today to present a special award to Mr. John Greet of rural Ten Sleep for his 50 years of service as a volunteer cooperative weather observer. Mr….
Reminiscing
My father-in-law, Johnny, had an older brother James E. Greet, who wrote down some of his “reminisces” in 1991. I glance at the book every once in a while, and I always enjoy his tales about this Red Dirt Country. “There was the summer that the folks lived on the mountain claim with my older…
Helpers
The last bunch of cows is now on the Mesa Pasture! Yippee! Of course, that also means that we will have our BIG trail drive on Tuesday to take them to our Mountain Pasture. That means we will pack up for a snack and big picnic lunch…which means I need to go shopping tomorrow… ick! …
Fishing Video
Fishing from Carol Greet on Vimeo. (Not his best cast, but the best I got on video!) **** Last chance for questions! Post them here…
Rainstorms Dance
It looks like my tipi post has inspired some great questions… but I’ll give it a couple of more days for another question or two to come in as well! Today we blasted our way over the mountain to Matthew’s dedication in Kaycee. After church, Victoria hosted us at the park, with a great playground…
Wyoming’s 125th
I had a story to tell with lots of photos… unfortunately, the internet doesn’t seem to be very cooperative tonight! I’ll try that tale again tomorrow! I had a very busy day trying to mow and weed eat everything I could… but then tonight, I had to take a young man and his Spiderman fishing…
