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 recliner after dark. It was much easier when there was only Monday Night Football. Now with Thursday, college Saturday, and Sunday football as…

Doing Ranch Work
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 season and…
Join in the Fun
The Harvest Dinner fundraiser… A big deal in a small town… Where we support our library and ambulance… And the churches donate the food… And volunteers work hard to set up and decorate and cook and clean… And the line goes around the school cafeteria walls… and out the door… If you don’t cook the…
The Bidding Starts NOW
OK, folks! I have my senses <such as they are> about me tonight… So… here’s my challenge for YOU, my Readers. *I believe there is an interest in Blogland for western artwork. *I am perennially a supporter of both the Ten Sleep Library and Ten Sleep Ambulance.

Intelligence Level
Many of you have commented on the amount of knowledge I have seemed to have absorbed the years I’ve lived on this place. It’s true… and I had discussion about that with a friend the other day. I never thought I could vaccinate cattle, but I do… I never thought I could drive a tractor,…
The Hands of Greet Ranch
The skin may be covered in oil and grease. The fingernails may be full of grit and goo. A splinter or a barbwire cut is usually evident. The fingers may curve in atypical directions… blame it on football or machinery or livestock. There are no rings to snag in a pto. Calluses are present, especially…
A Visitor
Today the guys come hustling into the house a little early for lunch. “Grab your camera and c’mere!” I take orders well, *sometimes*, so I grabbed my camera and followed them out my back door. I’m expecting a herd of elk. Or fire. Or a coyote or a wolf even. Nope. This. An alien from…
Raisin’ a Little
RAIN! HONESTLY! A nice little rain hit last night and most of today. We probably are lucky if we got .5 inch, but that’s enough for Wyoming to sigh with relief… hope wildfire season is over and we might even green up a bit if the nights continue to be on the warm side! Today…

Huge loss…..Could you post for others what you know of this? Prayers to all connected….. Judy Judy, we don’t know much. Marcia went on a walk…
Life Out There
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 Sleep has street(s) and they are paved, though not…
