Clara is clearly showing us all what we feel like most of the time. It’s busy and the house is a mess of bursting boxes all around.
We get out of the house every day from 10:30 til noon. Even when it’s snowing…
It snowed as we were unloading the moving truck and the next day.
(our little road heading to the Big Horns and our house…we sit at the very base of them.)
(throwing snowballs. Looking west off our front deck. One of the horse barns in the background, on the far right.)
(Wooster glassing the elk up on the ridge near our house. Looking southwest.)
(mule deer that hang out in our yard…ALL.THE.TIME…and on our deck. There are about 11 in the little herd.)
(evidence that the mule deer hang out on our deck at night.)

(Ruby letting the world know she DID NOT WANT to be Minnie Mouse anymore…after talking about it for months, months, and months. She wanted to be a horse instead. No?…you didn’t hear her?)
(She was fine after a few hours.)
(They are beautiful people…)
(It really wasn’t that cold. Wooster had just come down off the mountain, bringing some bulls back to the main corrals.)
Ruby is doing well with the move. She likes to stick right by her mama’s side. I can’t get out of her sight. She had a few rough nights of going to sleep by herself, but she is getting better and better at it.
Ruby’s favorite places to walk are: the stable, the “new shop” and to the bridge.
At the stable she doesn’t care about the mama horse, baby and a stud that are kept there. She likes the tall bear thermometer and sitting logs.
When we walk to the shop, she likes to see and talk about the barking dog, Sadie. Little does Ruby know…Sadie the Dog hates us. But, we make it by every time unscathed.
So far we’ve watched Wooster and the others: load calves, pregnancy check, work in the shop, load horses, drive some cows up the mountain on horseback, move bulls to the corrals, and watch the beautiful sunsets over the Rockies.
(looking west, watching the sun go down over the Rockies. Now one of my most favorite spots on Earth.)
The area looks great. Tell everyone hello. Did you tell me I could give this sight to Walt Rosenbaum? I haven’t done it yet but they’ve asked about you.
Herb! Thanks for the comments. Ruby was nervous…or excited… about going to a different church. She could hardly sleep the night before. Yes! You can give this site to Walt. Thank you for doing so. Will you ask your lovely wife if I could post a picture of her, Reba and Ruby?
