There were actually rain clouds in the sky today… and a smidge even fell out of them! I should have taken a photo… it’s the first rain we’ve had in… uh… hmmm. yeah. Hold on a minute, yes, yes, I do believe I have a photo… I can vaguely remember pouring rain… for days. But…

Gold Star
The stinking wind blew ALL NIGHT, stirring up the ash and making our world smoky again… but we had heifers to trail back to their home… so we tried to get up and going early, but my, oh, my! It was HOT. Almost 80 at 6:30 in the morning. Bleh. Elsa was Dog of the…
Ugly Job
Back to normal. Kinda. The guys are back cutting, raking, baling, and stacking hay. The BLM continues their efforts at watching for hot spots… trees that smolder and then take off burning again… They have had their huge helicopter hauling water for two days. They’ll keep doing that for a while, because one tree could…
Sleep of Innocents
My brain is on overload. Can it be only two days since this started? I can’t imagine being in Colorado Springs or any other large fire since this little fire of ours has consumed me and my family so much. Bleh. So tonight, to end my late evening on a much happier note… let’s just…
If
Thanks so much for your prayers and well wishes. I’m not gonna talk much about this. It hurts. It’s maddeningly infuriating. It’s a state of being helpless. Today it went from this… To this… Yes. That’s the same spot. No, there are no cattle here… we would have put them here soon though. Now it’s…
Sh*&^%$t.
Our wheat hay under “smokey” skies at noon… Our wheat hay under SMOKEY skies at 8 pm. Sh*&^%$t. **** June 26, 2011 Jerri Burton Memorial Garden Walk June 26, 2010 Time Saved June 26, 2009 Book June 26, 2008 no entry.
To and Fro
Smoke from various wildfires has rolled into the Big Horn Basin, leaving us with the depressing overcast reminiscent of Big City Smog. It hovers and simmers in the high heat… and once in a while, a tiny whiff of burning wood teases my nose. It did make for a spectacular sunset tonight… but 99% of…
Snuggle In
After avoiding the “scattered thunderstorms” for a couple of days… the clouds settled in and finally blessed us with some moisture. The mountain is draped in white, and it is COLD. It’s 35º out there right now. I’ve built a fire and yanked another blanket on the bed. I managed to do some outside work…
Any Greener
Yay! .4″ of rain and sunshine… and things are GROWING! Lucas hides out in the wheat… And Elsa finds the shade cast by a power pole! I don’t believe you could get any greener! **** May 6, 2011 Questions and Answers May 2011 Edition Part Two May 6, 2010 English Shadow May 6, 2009 Puppy…
Fruit Blizzard
While the road report for the state of Wyoming looked like this today… and outside my door looked like this today… I somehow found it within myself to stay inside. I’ve put in my time being out in blech like this… I found things to do. I printed off more blog entries. I cleaned my…
Mighty Fight
Believe it or not, it’s 41 degrees outside and RAINING. I know Western Wyoming received up to 13″ of snow today, but here, we have rain. Rain on top of snow, for those of you who live in the tropics, makes for what we here in Wyoming would call “OneHellOfAMess”. When it dips back down…
