So a couple of weeks ago, I bought 11 chickens from my neighbor. That gave me 20 hens and one rooster. I was back in the egg business! I kept them locked in the coop and in a small area outside for a week, just to teach them that this was where they belonged and…
Kid’s Steer
I ran down to see the progress of all the various pipelines and tanks. Most of the pipelines have been covered back up with plastic ends sticking up through the dirt, waiting for their tanks to appear. Vernon had dug a trench clear past Johnny’s house down to the creek. Daniel and I discussed his…
Ready for Bigfoot
Winter has finally hit with a couple inches of snow and temperatures in the single digits. For that reason, Vernon pulled my Jeep in the heated shop to install my Christmas present. Weird, huh? It’s an infrared deer detector for my Jeep. Some fancy vehicles already have this feature, but not mine! In a few…
In Sight
As I’ve been preoccupied with Christmas, the guys continue to work on pipelines and installing water tanks. Victoria and I helped Brandon set one tank. The pipes had been run, the dirt filled back in, now to set the tank. White paint was inked onto the top of the pipe and the tank set in…
Delightful
I hope you had a great Christmas. We did. We are very blessed. Victoria had stayed for a couple of days and in between walks in the unseasonably warm weather, we managed a craft! Yay! I’m always up for making something. First we went to the creek to gather willows. Short. Straight. And hopefully, green…
Many Blessings
Here’s wishing you and yours many blessings during this holiday season.
Good Times
Victoria and crew are here… we’ve eaten, walked, talked, laughed, and played games. I hope your holiday season is full of good times as well…
Trail
Victoria and I are 76% done with the Trail of Tears. Our journey now turns northwest after heading southwest for days. We’ve had many river crossings as of late, some by ferry, some not. Crossings would not have been pleasant. I’ve asked if there is a way to find out which removal our ancestors were…
Scents of the Season
Author Craig Johnson once again shared his Longmire Christmas short story with the Ten Sleep Library and about 100 of our friends! The story may or may not have a certain black and white little critter as a central character in it. Our little library was about bursting at the seams, though the back room…
Little Red Truck
I have to share what fell into place the other day… a really sweet 1949 Ford truck is owned by a local guy, who works across the street from the library. He often parks the pickup behind the building. It’s such a great little truck! So I got a wild idea the other day… and…
Throwback Thursday: Again, v.2.0
This was first posted December 20, 2015. Cows had rubbed a gate down, and were where they weren’t supposed to be. Did I want to ride along with Brandon and see if a dog and I would be of any help? You bet! I don’t mind these little expeditions at all. It’s a good chance…
