When we heard there might be an April snowstorm, it wasn’t a surprise. It’s not unusual. So six inches of snow appeared… That’s Lorelei, heading back to the house after helping me feed the chickens. Do you notice anything between her and I? Well, funny little story on the side… We were headed to the…

Being Grateful
The snow has disappeared again. We’ve suffered through a couple of days of strong winds with that snow… and the guys are making regular trips through the cows. Our heifers are down to the last few, but now the cows are starting to calve. It was miserable with the wind chill, thankfully, we made it…
Thoughts on Spring Snowstorm – Video
Oh, just some off the cuff remarks about this new spring snowstorm… just when things were starting to dry up, warm up, and look like Real Spring had arrived! Nope.
Ugly
An amazing amount of snow has melted with warmer temperatures and warmer breezes. While flat fields still hold their snow, anything tipped slightly with a southern exposure has become either mush, slush, water, or mud! It makes it interesting when we feed, the ruts in the road are deepening… I drove the tractor again for…
307 Day Hike – Video
Happy 307 Day. March 7th is 307 Day here in Wyoming. We proudly post “307” everywhere, reflecting our statewide area code. Today, with spring unfurling a warm blanket, rapidly melting our snow, I took a hike. All around was liquid, ice into water, frozen dirt into mud. It gave me a chance to play with…
Crystal Art
We had a few days of 50 degree weather. Too warm for this time of year. It actually RAINED on Christmas Day, only getting cold enough the next day for a bit of snow. Warmth and rain put a slick surface on everything. The clouds cleared off and brilliant, starry nights plunged the thermometer back…
Inside Day
When I went to sleep last night, I glanced at the 1.5” of snow on my front porch and thought perhaps that the predicted storm was going to miss us. When I awoke, I found out I was entirely wrong! While next to the house it only measured 7”, away from the trees and bushes…
Tomorrow
I was going to make a video from the Fifteenmile trip, but didn’t get it done. I made a short little time lapse video this morning, but it didn’t take a long video, and… I didn’t get that finished either. By noon, our gorgeous morning had socked in and started to snow. This evening, we’re…
#TBT: Ah, the Romantic Life…, v.2.0
This post was first published October 20, 2008. I’ve heard it many times. Heck, I used to believe it myself. How AWESOME your life must be… you live on a *RANCH*! Well, it is true MOST of the time… It is the small percentage of times when you are doing things like today, that most…

Riding Under the Double Rainbow
Big Day. It starts early. In fact, it’s so dark, my camera won’t focus from my moving horse. Doggone it! This would have been a good one… The sunrise was spectacular. Did you notice the cowboy in the trees? But then, the other way? Oh, wow! Not just a rainbow… a supernumerary rainbow. It had…
Rain
It’s official. We’re now setting on 6.05” of rain for the month. Remember, we’re supposed to get 14” in a year. We kept saying, it’ll make great grass, it’ll be so green, there’ll be wildflowers everywhere. We kept saying it. And saying it. Grateful for the moisture. But, seriously, by the end… all we could…
