To switch it up a bit from those classic black and whites of long ago ranching… This #tbt is actually from May 2018’s English Shepherd calendar. So current, but not… You might just recognize Miss Dally and Daniel. The photo is two years old. Hope you’re keeping everyone from having fun in heaven, Dally! You…

#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: “First Born Cradleboard”
A Throwback Thursday of my daughter, Victoria, asleep in the cradleboard I made for her. I still have it, of course, I used it for the boys as well. I really didn’t know what I was doing when I made this… but it served us well for many years!
#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.
#TBT: Long Gone
Today’s #tbt picture is from the 1980’s… The thing that stood out to me besides the neighbor’s Hereford cattle, was the barn. This barn now is nothing but a few bottom boards. It slowly collapsed in over the years, weighed down by winter snow and time. We still help our neighbor at this corral, but…
#TBT: Dog Family
A look back to 2007. That’s a very young looking Lucas, sweet, dear, Elsa… and puppy Dally enjoying a winter walk.
#TBT: A Team
When I first arrived at the ranch, oh, a Loooooong Time Ago… We used a team to feed cows in the winter. During the summer, they lived a life of leisure. But one time, someone arranged a Team Pulling Contest down at the Ten Sleep Rodeo Grounds. Johnny took Buck and Booger down to compete….
#TBT: Old School
We used to always haul horses in the pickup or big one ton if there was five or six to haul! Them newfangled horse trailers are kinda nice, though.
#TBT: Stationery
Johnny has loaned me a box of old letters, and I’m just beginning to sift through the crispy paper decoratively topped by the fading ink of fountain pens and three cent stamps. My eye was caught by this stationery from the Plains Hotel in Cheyenne. Who wouldn’t want to write on this? And then frame…
