Wildfire… Nah. Unfortunately, not the Michael Martin Murphey song. As I drove to work this morning, the smoke from the Fishhawk Fire outside of Cody was rolling in. Cody is 2.5 hours away from me… so no worries here… It reminded me of our biggest, closest wildfire we had waaaaaay back when my kids were…

#TBT : Oh, Daddy, v.2.0
This entry was first published September 9, 2008. FINALLY! the rain and cold has left us and seemingly the first nice day we’ve had since Labor Day Monday was yesterday. We’ve received almost 2″ of moisture since then, so we shouldn’t complain, but I do miss sunshine! Itching to get out and about, the dogs…
#TBT : The Best, v.2.0
This was first posted August 24, 2008. Mankind has developed great, wonderful, and stupendous inventions throughout the centuries… modern medicine, farming methods, space exploration, chocolate, milkshakes, and without a doubt, the best invention of all is nothing less than a hot shower. I spent the day with good friends, exploring and riding trails on our…
#TBT : Cousin Visit
Yeah. I was a dork. What was I, ten? I don’t know… I do remember loving that orange windbreaker… Notice John Patrick, the cutie with a mouthful of candy. We’ve seen each other only once in the intervening years… but, Facebook is good for getting in touch with long lost relatives. He took a jaunt…
#TBT: Tired and Muddy v.2
This post was first written July 19, 2008. It has been a year since Butcher’s Foothills Elsa has come to live with me onthe ranch. At first glance, she was small but quick, slightly nervous, definitely prone tobarking in situations that make her nervous, lost, looking for love, and willing to pleasesomeone since she had left her Oklahoma…
#TBT: So Much To Tell 2.0
Another repeat post from 2008. I talk about how it rained and rained and snowed… That we’d had over 2” of moisture… it sounds so eerie since this year we have had 3.6” of rain this month! Flooding had begun. That hasn’t happened here yet, but all that white snow on the mountain will come…
#TBT: Branded 2.0
I’m about out of historical photos… though I’ve held a few back for later down the road. I thought maybe I’d go back into the history here on Red Dirt In My Soul… back when it was simply an addendum entitled “Overlook” on my Rimrock English Shepherds website. The website is gone… seven years of…
#TBT : House Double Take
This house photo (circa 1940’s?) (and, yes, I posted this a couple of weeks ago) compared to a fairly close image taken last week… The perspective is a tad bit off. The house has been added on to and is now covered in siding. The corner of the sod roof bunk house can be seen…
#TBT : House
So many things have changed from this photo! There’s no date. I would guess 1940’s… as I can’t see the house where Daniel lives and I think it was built in the 1950’s. There is a man standing to the left by the equipment. This is Johnny’s house, but before the large porch was attached…
#TBT: Winter Riders
Our snow is all but gone… but in this #tbt, it looks cold if not deep. No date. No names.
