#TBT: Horsepower
Here’s another oldie shared by a relative… Since many of us are sweating through some hot weather… look closely at this pic to help you cool off! This six horsepower hitch is being used to pull out a tractor from some deep snow. Note the snow packed into the rear wheel wells. The guys look…
#TBT: May Snow
I recently received some old family photos… and scrolling through them on my computer, it was hard to choose which to share first. I finally decided on this series of three pics taken May 4, 1929. Now we’re just rolling into June of 2018, so these are 89 years old. They belonged to Wyoma Pyle,…
#TBT: Backstory
I’d like to know the backstory here… Work’s over… time to listen to some music? Instruments of choice? You work, we’ll play! What do you think? *Picture from negative, no date, no names*
#TBT: Stacking Hay
From a negative.
#TBT: Hereford Branding
No date. Branding Herefords.
#TBT: Tiny House and More
I admit. While I like seeing the “new” tiny home tv shows… and the builder’s creativity… I always ask myself… Why didn’t they just buy a RV or house trailer or… sheep wagon!? This photo, with two dapper men, a sheep wagon, a spare wagon, team, and riding horse, and perhaps the photographer’s car, pose,…
#TBT: Negative Help
This #tbt is a bit different. I saw on the internet the other day, an easy way to view negatives… and I have a lot of old negatives! Using a light table, which I have, thanks to my friend, J., simply place the negatives on the light table. If you have an iPad, it has…
#TBT: Deep Creek Photo
I thought I would share this photo from the Farmers Lumber calendar as well. Deep Creek is a few miles away from here, but many of the people are well-known early settlers of the Ten Sleep area.
The Big Tipi
Another adventure… This time to Lost Cabin, Wyoming for a tour of The Big Tipi, aka J.B. Okie’s mansion. Known as the Sheep King of Central Wyoming, he was an intelligent businessman with big plans. I’ve driven past this house FOREVER… Well, ever since I’ve been married… and have wondered about it. I’ve wanted to…
#TBT : Wooly Chaps
There’s just something about those wooly chaps of Fred Greet’s… there are many old photos of visitors and relatives, trying on the wooly chaps and playing at “being a cowboy”. Here, Fred has roped a visitor in the chaps and cowboy hat. She also is pictured on horseback at a distance and on the corral…
#TBT: Winter Cows
Since some of you are suffering through a heat wave… This goes back to 1930’s? winter time… snow on the ground… Herefords on the hill. (Thanks to J.A.G. – who posts old family photos so I can steal some of them and post them here!)
