This story is from James Greet, written in 1991 about his life as a cowboy in the 1940’s. (continued) The Big Dipper rotates counter clockwise around the North Star. In the early days, the “night hawk” men used it as a timepiece to know when to change the guard. The wise men of the East…
Throwback Thursday: Busy Season, v.2.0
This was first published April 24, 2014. If you couldn’t tell… we’ve been busy around here. We’ve been kicking cows out into our badlands pasture. It is a LONG walk for little bitty baby calves, and for my horse and my dog and for ME! (Don’t mind that my camera didn’t open all the way……

Maybe Tomorrow?
Somehow, that chicken coop just doesn’t get cleaned… that was my plan until Vernon said we were moving some pairs around this afternoon in order to be prepared for branding. While the cowboys brought the little bunch, Vernon and I zoomed down to move another little herd out of the way. It may not be…
Good Old Ranchlife
Back to good old ranchlife… After two days of special activities, the weather has been great and I chose to accompany Vernon to his latest water project. The ride out was gorgeous, all this recent snow has watered the country and things are greening up dramatically. This pasture has creek access on one corner, but…
Andrew Child
Whoo, what a day! Andrew Child gave his talk at the school… Followed by pie at the library… I wasn’t fast enough to get the counter covered with pie… but it was at one point… plus more! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves…. It was great! We said our goodbyes and thank yous and told him…
That Was Fun
I helped set up for Andrew Child’s visit to the Ten Sleep Library tomorrow then drove to Worland for Craig Johnson’s talk at the library over there…. No surprise… it was fun!
Throwback Thursday: Bottle Baby Video, v.2.0
This was first published April 11, 2014. See who makes a cameo at the end! Cattle don’t usually give birth to twins, and we’ve found that it is best to leave just one calf with its momma, and take the other one away. This one will be bottle fed until a new mother can be…
Wordless Wednesday: Beautiful Country
Coming home the other day from grocery shopping, I just couldn’t resist taking a photo. It is beautiful country. A jigsaw puzzle will be here if you’d like to try it out. Free. No downloads.
National Library Week
Well, it’s National Library Week and I’m going to take the time to promote the Ten Sleep Library! A few years ago, we had the author Tasha Alexander speak at our Spring Tea. She was friendly, entertaining, outgoing, and the perfect author with her Lady Emily mystery series. Oh, by the way, her husband was…
Eclipse Day
Happy eclipse day! Just for kicks and giggles…. Here are two videos from 2017 when we had our look at totality. This time lapse was impressive… Then my chaotic moments of totality with cute little Quinlan and snakes! Today, however, was very overcast. Rats. Well, we decided to head for Worland for a grocery run….
