Finally. Rain. Lots of it. An inch and a half as of this writing… which is great moisture for a dry steppe country like Wyoming. Rain days are vacation days for ranchers… go to town on a rainy day, and you’ll see your neighbors. We were going to be prepping for preg testing on Saturday……

Soggy
Rain! Holy cow, it’s like we live in Seattle or something!! There’s local flooding around parts of the state… Thermopolis, Kaycee, and the creek is as full as it can get here. More rain and parts will start getting flooded. We had plans to give the heifers we are AI’ing their Lutalyse shot, but held…
Enjoying Ourselves
Rain. We’re up to 1.34″ so far, with more predicted! There’s also a huge snowstorm going to hit eastern Wyoming, although it is supposed to miss us. Hopefully, everyone over there has their livestock in a sheltered spot and plastic over their tomatoes if they’ve planted them already. My chicks were due today… but since…
Rainclouds
More rain. Snow predicted tomorrow. A day spent babysitting… Last chance for questions for my next Q&A… post ’em now!
Dodging Rain Clouds
Stay tuned… tomorrow… a horse sale! Yeehaw!
Look at the Light
Holy Toledo! It is RAINING out there! It’s rained off and on since yesterday afternoon. There’s snow in the high country, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we had snow in the morning. Wyoming usually smacks you alongside the head as a simple reminder that Winter Is Coming. However, next week it’s supposed to be…
Mountain Wonders
I took Victoria and the boys up the mountain to meet Matt. They’ve been here the past few days, but it was time to return home. We timed it just right, each of our vehicles getting chased off the Big Horn Mountains by rainshowers. This rain is doing wonders for the mountain!
Swirls of Light and Rain
Vernon and I went for a drive this afternoon just to get away. If we stay here, we tend to find work, so a drive is a good option. We headed towards our Mesa Pasture, the one burned in the wildfire last year. I still have not been all over it this year, just to…
Fire Starter
I canned the pitiful Minute Movie I WAS making, and replaced it with this one. Though this movie is much longer, this thunderstorm was IMPRESSIVE. Notice some things: My camera fades in and out of focus… I apologize for that. Some of the best lightning bolts are out of focus, but I left them in…
I’m Grateful
For the past few days, thunderstorms have rumbled through… bringing a bit of rain, too much lightning for my taste, and winds up to 50 mph. From the Studio, it looks like this over our oat field. The moisture is GREAT, July has been very dry right here… though other storms have gone around us….
The Other Day
Rain. Again! For two days it’s drizzled and rained… There’s a winter storm advisory in the Big Horn Mountains with 8″ of *SNOW* above 8000′. Rain slows down some work… like farming, but it doesn’t usually slow down work like gathering cows. Which is what I’ll be doing tomorrow. And I’ll be wearing my chaps…
