Things I Saw Today

All too often we forget how lucky we are to live in Wyoming. Sometimes we don’t take the time to look around enough. With the economy in a temporary tank now is the perfect time to see the good things.

For me it doesn’t take much, just a short drive, about an hour, is all it takes. Today with the snow falling that is what we did, took a short drive. As usual, the sites were terrific. What a great place to live.

Wyoming Buffalo Stampede Storm

Quite a storm we had last evening, nearly three inches of rain with an abundance of lightning and thunder. Reminds me of the old stories of the west and the difficulties associated with trying to heard or drive cattle during these huge spring storms.

Before the cowboy came to the west, buffalo hunters told stories, (often turned to tall tails), of Buffalo stampeding during a spring storm.

Here is what our big spring storm looked like last night.
