Pet peeve #532. So fifty feet away from Quinlan and I, is a corral full of commercial Angus… and I have to read a “farm” book to my grandson where all the cows are spotted. Please, someone write a kid’s book where there are BEEF cattle represented! Sigh. **** September 16, 2011 Eggs and Tomatoes…

Two and One
Their first preg testing weekend… didn’t get much work out of these three… (Yes, two in the stroller, one in the backpack!) **** September 15, 2011 Introducing… September 15, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – “And the Sky Is Not Cloudy All Day” September 15, 2009 Sale Barn September 15, 2008 Gotta Go (Yup.

Upon the Ground
The gate post was wrapped in smooth wire. The barbed version was saved for the gate and connected fence. Tacked with fence staples was an decrepit sign, illegible due to occasional rain, fiercely driven snow, and brutal wind that sandblasted the words into the cosmos. Although this day was respectable, she’d met each variety of…
Definitely A Blessing
The past three days, I’ve had a visitor. While I’ve had to dress up and work at the Ten Sleep Library, my visitor has donned work clothes, gloves, and air mask… and he’s shoveled out my chicken coop/studio! YAYYYYYYY! My sweet sweet nephew, R., came up on his way to Billings and has sweated and…
Fresh Air Partners
The storm yesterday did wonders… The brilliant blue sky that is one of the hallmarks of Wyoming has returned! The varied pageantry of clouds fluffed and scurried and skimmed and floated… just like old times. For today, there was no dreaded smoke, no haze to dampen spirits. Ah, *this* is Wyoming, “Where the air is…
Looking Happy
Wow, guys, Amazing Job with The Game yesterday! I thought you all showed great imagination! We need to finish this story! What’s coming through the fog???? Big Thanks to Belle, Patr, Joy, Dana, Ketra, Terry, and Cammy for joining in! That was FUN! **** Daylight found us on our way up the mountain. It was…
Mountain Picnic
With company here, we actually took some time off… This time we chose to go to our mountain pasture and check out the grass (and weeds) and enjoy a picnic. I didn’t have enough hot dogs… so gypsy dinners it is! The scenery was beautiful… The weather was great (no wind, perfect temperature… with the…
I’d Like To Introduce To You…
This weekend was the wedding… so I had an excused absence from blogging last night! Let me update you! Brandon and Megan chose to be married next to the original Joe Henry homestead… the same place we had our Centennial Celebration 3 years ago. However… 99.99% of the time… it is also our little horse…
Having a Blast
My sister is here. We work on projects together quite well. We also can have fun! Today was Fun Day. What would we choose to play with today??? She took her new AR-15… I took my new .22. (We also had throwing knives and slingshots along for backup!) I took my little bitty spinny target…
Enjoy
The family’s all here. The tree glitters. The presents are (mostly) wrapped. There’s food to cook and wassail to drink… Sending good cheer your way! Enjoy your Christmas Eve… **** December 23, 2010 Seek Quiet (this is a good ‘un) December 23, 2009 Wordless Wednesday – “Lion’s Mouth” December 23, 2008 Feeding…
Chillin’
Don’t know about where you live… but here in Ten Sleep, Wyoming… Santa comes in wooly chaps and muck boots and leather work gloves! Look who got to chill with the Jolly Ol’ Elf today… Here’s hoping you’re spending some quality time with your family… **** December 22, 2010 The Internet Was Down! (last year’s…
Tootsies
I’m home. I left Kaycee this afternoon, positive that Victoria can handle those boys! She might need an extra hand or two on occasion… but in the past few days, she’s become an expert on tandem feeding. It is an art. The boys are getting it figured out as well. I’ve learned a great deal…
