One wild cow had jumped into the neighbor’s and they were nice enough to bring her home. They covered lots of country and found three lone heifers down in the cedars. It’s easy to…

#TBT: Water Is Flowing, v.2.0
This was first posted October 29, 2010. It’s that time of year… Snow has fallen on the mountaintops. Drifts lay across the roads. Any cattle left up high are finding their own ways down the mountain… or cowboys are bundling up and riding in the snow. Been there. Done that….
#TBT: “That Order”, v.2.0
For those of you new to the blog, every Thursday I repost a blog entry. Today’s entry is from October 18, 2010. It musta been a Monday today. Sometimes the only way to know what day it is around here is by what you end up watching on television when you collapse into the…
#TBT: Doing Ranch Work, v.2.0
This was first posted October 17, 2010. I know! I know! Seems like the past week has been full of hot air…balloons and me promoting my watercolors for auction .“I thought you lived on a *ranch*! Where’s the ranchy stuff?” <NOTE: I said ranchy NOT raunchy!><I know the difference!> Well, in between hot air balloons and hunting…
#TBT: Life Out There, v.2.0
This was first posted October 7, 2010. Even though the day was gorgeous, and should have been spent constructively… as in finishing the last bit of tiling, or mowing a lawn, or working in my studio… I chose instead to go to Ten Sleep and roam the streets. All kidding aside, yes, Ten…
#TBT: “His Job”, v.2.0
This was first posted September 27, 2010. The last part of the afternoon, we weighed our weaned calves. They’ve been in the corral, at least this bunch has, going through Mommy-withdrawal. That expresses itself in bawling for three or four days… and then they are over it. Before we turn this bunch out on…
#TBT: Playing in the Dark, v.2.0
This was first published September 23, 2010. Playing in the dark… WAAAAAYYY back when… I was the youngest kid on the block, so I didn’t get to join in much… but we played a game called Sardines. It is the opposite of Hide and Seek, kinda, sorta. In the dark, with boundaries…
#TBT: “A Picture of Progress”, v.2.0
This was first published September 17, 2010. Finally, a picture of progress. Before we started remodeling the bathroom… it was classic 1950’s style.Cool mint green *fake* tile… With a neato fishy on the rear wall! Although there was a shower curtain, notice there is no REAL shower. Remember those you could hook onto the tub…
#TBT: My New Toy, v.2.0
This was first posted September 9, 2010. My new toy…no, it’s not a Wii… (people tell me I should want one, but I don’t think so) no, it’s not a new iPod… (I’m very happy with my “ancient” gum stick iPod) no, it’s not an iPad… (though THAT is on my Big Wish List –…
#TBT: “Fame and…”, v.2.0
This was first published September 2, 2010. For those of you who don’t Tweet…or follow me on Twitter…or read the little update in the left hand sidebar…I gotta brag (again). My photo of the storm cloud that hit Ten Sleep made the front page of the local paper. Of course, I sent it to them…and the National…
#TBT: Third Look at Irrigating! v.2.0
This was first posted August 23, 2010. Today is my third (and most likely FINAL) look at irrigating! If you want to own cows in Wyoming, plan on feeding them through the winter. For those of you who want to try to run them just on pasture… I want to remind you of an incident…
#TBT: Big Cedar Ridge, v.2.0
This was first posted August 26, 2010. We were supposed to be back to thrashing the grain after our buckaroo interlude… but a small rain shower cancelled those plans. Wet grain can’t be thrashed. The guys headed up the mountain to put out salt, repair some fence, and check on the cows. They took a…
