Thank you so much for sharing all of those lovely glamping photos. I really loved every single one because i love all of that vintage goodness. It reminds me of stories my dad told from his childhood and everything else good 🙂 🙂 Plus I just think older stuff has more style and character, too 🙂 🙂 Have a great weekend, Shery 🙂 Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 😉

Generally, I’m not the camping type but after looking at the lovely "glampers"…..! Looks like you all had fun. And thanks for sharing about the cross in the sky. I worry when I look at the news but God is in control. Nothing gets by Him. Our little town of Crossville seems to be the old car capital of TN. Several times a year downtown Crossville holds activities that include showing off some old time beauties. I always see old cars being driven around. Thanks for sharing your fun with us.

Beautiful pictures. You all (yes, I’m from the south) must have had a wonderful time. Wish I could have been there.

Y’all are living a dream of mine – friends and camping – oh yes lots of work but my oh my look at the beautiful results!! Thanks for sharing your times and give all the girls a ‘hey’ from one who wishes she could do camping again – but God has blessed me with all the glampers and a wonderful life here reading about your lives.
God Bless

What a wonderful glamping trip you girls had! My husband and I just got back from a camping stint at a nearby lake. The camp host was the first to peek into our ’65 Ideal and even he commented on the ‘fantastic decorating’! He even loved my bedspread…His rig is a 40 foot motor home that undoubtedly costs more than my HOUSE! Anyway, we were the bell of the ball at that campsite…A flash from the past..

That little Bonnie is a jewel and your photos of your young friend Jaycee are exceptional! Another great post Shery!

I love your post for several reasons, the pictures are out of this world with beauty, and the way your decorate just gives my heart a thrill. I made your little candle lamps with tin bowls and hurricane globes placed inside you had displayed around Christmas, now a centerpiece on my kitchen table.
But, a couple other reasons, is that each time I read it, it reminds me so of the John Denver "Song of Wyoming", and also his many songs about the cowboy’s life.
The father I barely knew, spent his last years on his ranch in Wyoming, and so when I read your post, it connects my heartstrings to him, even though he has been gone for 34 yrs, when I see your pictures, it somehow helps me see
him once again.
Thanks so much for making my day brighter and my heart lighter!
Hugs from Noel, Mo. ……Diana

Dear Shery – I am always delighted and astonished by your prose and gorgeous photos. I have the delight of sitting on my screened porch right now and oh, how I wish I could capture the scene as you do. I enjoy your musings and blessings very much!

Love your post…especially the pictures. While this time of year is busy with all the bounty of the garden, I savor every moment! Winter will be here soon enough.
All of it is a blessing.

Dear Shery, I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy your pictures and the topics you write about..I have never lived in the west…I have only dreamed about it since I was a little girl. Being raised in Ohio, my Grandfather and Grandmother had a small farm where we spent most of our weekends. I have been in love with horses ever since I can remember. Your pictures sometimes make me cry, they are so beautiful and full of life. Wyoming is such a gorgeous state. In 1975 we took a trip to Yellowstone. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. I wish I could return! Please continue to post your lovely stories and pictures. Thank You

Thank you for sharing with us your Saddle sights. I live in BC, Canada on Vancouver Island in an area called Yellowpoint. My husband and I moved here eight years ago for our retirement. Not much retiring is happening but we are doing what we love to do; me gardening and developing a very small scale kitchen/market garden and my husband fly fishing. We love the country living but some days we do wonder what we were thinking taking on a very small property which needed much work and a fixer upper helper house in need of much in the way of renovations. But, we plug along, doing what we can when we can and when we can afford to. Your entries are most interesting and give me incentive to keep on going with our projects here at ‘Naturewood’ our given name for our little plot of land. Thank you. Marian

 First time i have posted. i live in kentucky having moved here from the mountains of new hampshire. my horses- arabians and rocky mtns. keep me busy as well as gardening and "junking" – still searching for my little teardrop or small trailer to cowgirl up. i love your pictures, your horse is lovely- a quarterhorse ? your plants are lovely as are their containers. what fun- will be looking forward to your blogs from now on- thank-you !

I love this time of year when the horses are so sleek. Also it appears you don’t have the usual brown grasses common this time of year. We’re pretty dry this year in California, but have had an unusually cool summer.
Love your gardens. They are such an inspiration!

I am so glad that you got to ‘meet’ such a wonderful spider. I believe that it is a crab spider. They change their color to match their background and do not have webs. They simply wait for their meal to come to them! They have always fascinated me..
That little Miss Sally is the cutest. No wonder you couldn’t resist her! Your gardens and views are beautiful. Ribbon is one gorgeous girl.
I have a beet addiction going on and my blood pressure is DOWN. Going to research that!
As usual, your pictures are wonderful…

Oh Shery, I LOVED every little word and photo in your post and the message is one we all need to be reminded of more often than not I’m afraid. It’s so true about what an eden of your own no matter the size will bring to your corner of the world. I marvel at the insects, toads, butterflies, bees, snails, moths, hummingbirds, squirrels, snakes and birds that visit my garden. It’s truly amazing. Your little Sally O Malley is A DOR A BLE! May I introduce her to Max? And Ribbon is beautiful beyond words.

Thanks for sharing your view from the saddle. As always it’s a delight and a lift when we visit!
Hugs from the east!
Deb

Gosh Shery, your photography takes my breathe away! LOVE your posts!

Love all your pictures, I too am so thankful for each new day and the blessing it hold.
Love Miss Sally O Malley, enjoy her That little One will bring a new blessing each day.
Thank You !

Thanks, I needed some positive today…sigh. I live in a lovely part of the country, but, I work in a really ugly place, a men’s prison. I am so often bombarded with such negative ugly. In a few years I will retire from "that place". It is my fervent hope that my attitude toward the human race improves. Thanks again for the lovely pictures and the uplifting words, I really needed it.

Love your photos and your words. Do I see a hackamore on your horse you’re sitting on? Love your mud puddle palomina. She’s a beauty (I mean, she’s okay ;-P)

———

Hi Elaine, Yes a hackamore. We start all of our horses in one. Actually, Ribbon is overdue to graduate to a bit. I love the Myers western shank snaffle. Best bit in the business IMO…you can leave them in it forever or move on to more of a bit if need be. It is a ‘happy horse’ bit. Even the fussiest mouth goes quiet. Thanks!! – Shery J

Shery: I just love the new picture of you on the blog. You look great and so does Ribbon. So glad you had a chance to hay this year. It keeps prices down. Your pictures are fantastic as usual. Thanks for your words.

Shery, How nice (and I should have guessed) that you are also a lover of Tasha Tudor. What a "farmgirl" she was indeed. I have always loved her art and books.
As always, enjoyed your blog and pictures. Since never having traveled west of Wisconsin, I love seeing the everyday life you provide in pictures. We have access to the beautiful photos of the famous places, but I love seeing life from your vantage point. Thanks!

What? A Corgi? Shery, you better be careful…Corgis are like potato chips… It’s hard to have just one!!! Your little Sally O Mally will bring you joy every minute of every day you look into her sweet brown eyes. Corgis just emit joy and want to be with you where ever you are. We are crazy about our Max! We talk about getting another one, but I don’t think our house could stand more hair. They shed year round I’m afraid, but who cares.. Love is love! Your Sally will be thrilled to have something to herd. All Max has is us, backyard squirrels and seagulls! We love Tasha Tudor in our house too. I’ve read all of her books. She had some of Max’s relatives for her beloved dogs. Our breeder Anne Bowes has been breeding corgis for 30 plus years. She has a picture of Tasha and her beloved corgis in her office. Wait till Max sees your Sally. He’ll be smitten!
We just had Max’s baby book out last night. He will be 5 this September. We can hardly believe it. We call him love bug… Loved your post from top to bottom! Can’t wait till you bring Sally home! Corgis are lap dogs too…Sometimes Max doesn’t even wait for our butts to hit the seat before he’s in our lap! So happy for you!!!!
hugs,
Deb aka Beach Farmgirl

HI..I LOVE YOUR PICTURES…..I HAVE A CORGI – SPANKY…..YOU WILL ABSOUTELY LOVE THE BREED…YES HE MAKES ME SMILE …..GOD BLESS

Tasha Tudor came to our town once for the garden club in Dover, Pa…what a nice experience to see her at her work and hear from her first-hand..she was my kind of lady

Your horse is indeed a beauty. I had two dogs in mind when I was last looking. The Scotty that I got and a Corgi. Do not know much about Corgis but a good friend had a sister that had one and she was very sweet. I love dogs with short legs….maybe because mine are also on the short side. Still dreaming of a glamper of my own and always have my eyes open as I drive on the back roads around our area as you suggested. My purple bee balm is looking very pretty right now also, the red did not show its face this year, I think I will have to replant. I have been working on a shade walkway planting this summer and trying to get more involved in the church I attend. This next week is Vacation Bible School which I am helping with and my youngest daughter is coming up to spend a couple of nights so my grands can attend. We planted our garden so late this year because of all the rains that I have not started canning anything except on batch of jam. I love sun tea but not sweetened. Not sure why because I love sweet things just not my tea or coffee. Enjoy your coming summer weeks, they do go fast!

I had to laugh when I saw the ladies sitting by the stream…dark tanned arms and white, white legs…lol…I’m just sittin’ here lookin’ at my white feet and legs and laughin’!

And about dogs….well, I’ve been rescuing "throw-away" dogs here in my part of the country for over 10 years. Have found homes for many, many. Have lots! Of all shapes and sizes….they bring me joy no matter what breed. I love the great big ones best! Thanks for sharing your view of the world.

Thanks for the lesson in hayin’ Shery!
I really enjoyed all of the beautiful pictures- WOW. That is some scenery! SO happy for you that the weather has blessed you with garden abundance and your very own hay!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Laurie

Dang it! Why do you always make me tear up! LOL Got all homesick for a minute there. But not for long because I still have that panoramic view of the Sierras and the plains (like home) and my heart is soothed. Thanks once again for the lovely pictures and the lovely thoughts. I do appreciate you.

Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful pictures!! Being from a plains state too, Kansas, I know what you mean about the beautiful sunsets and being able to look out for miles. Loved riding along with you while haying. The hay here has been good this year too. Yea!

As usual I just love your blog! I love seeing all of your pictures and hearing your positive outlook on life. Yes, like you said we all have a lot of "things" to deal with but trying to keep a positive outlook helps in so many ways. Your flowers are looking so good among all of your "beauties" too!

Shery … What a great bunch of photographs! You live and work in a beautiful part of the country and your place is so well manicured! I love your cabin in a can! It’s so perfectly decorated and so inviting. I love the summer wreath you made, especially the tea cup hanging in the middle. Do I see a bird’s nest in the cup? Thanks for sharing your life with a farmgirl like me on the east coast! I’m only a farmgirl in my head and my heart!

Love,Love,Love all your beautiful pictures thanks so much for sharing.I sat here taking a break from the fullness of my life and jumped into yours for a moment and it was wonderful and refreshing,now back to those weeds for me!

Thank you, Shery for the wonderful photo tour!!! Your photography is outstanding. Loved seeing the picture of your little senior baby, Dottie. Our Jack Russell, Bo, (named after Bo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird), is pushing 15, so every day is precious with him. We aren’t even going anywhere this summer, as leaving him is too stressful…for him and us!!! I’m sure some would think we are silly. Golly, your "Cabin in a Can" is adorable. The chicks, precious. Ellis is amazing! And aren’t you just the blessed one to have found kindered spirits to home church with? I’ve been thinkin’ bout home churching, but can’t find a group in my area. You are truly one lucky Wyo cowgirl!!!! Happy Fourth and God Bless America!!!

I’ve missed "seeing" you and really enjoyed catching up on your full life. Your photography is better than ever if that’s possible and your yard is fab!!
Life goes on here in CA with no rain and lots of fires. I have a foal due in a few days or so. Not of my chosing, but a surprise gift for me.
Love to you and Lynn.

I love spring too because of the ittie-bitties….sigh, I have chicks and piglets and puppies, Oh My. Add kittens and doves and birds galore, plus lizards (they’re new this year)and a baby eaglette…life is a marvel to be sure! Thanks as usual for your lovely posts.

So many wonderful little bitties. What a great story about the antelope. Must have put a big smile on your face when you realized who she was. We have had so much rain and our water table is so high we just started planting our vegetable garden this week. Some of it went right into the muck along with some peat. It is really sad looking right now and I think I need to replace some of the tomatoes. Hoping our little bittie plants will grow. Have a great weekend!

Oh, I loved all of your little bitties Shery! The antelope story especially touched my heart…She came home to her first mama to have her babies! Your maternal instinct shines through in this post my dear! Patience, love and nurturing… we all need that don’t we? Even when we aren’t so little bitty!
Hugs,
Deb

Ahhh love the little bitties, thanks for putting a name to them. What a sweet story about the antelope – we have quite a few prong horns in my area all year long and every time I see them my heart jumps with joy. One of the special little bitties in our lives this week was a fawn rescued in the Black Forest fire in CO. – we live just about 3/4ths of a mile from it and my son lives in the forest – we were blessed that his home was not taken in the fire but with the rush of having to evacuate he didn’t get his chickens out – just the horses so we are going to now be looking for some chickens, may not be little bitties but will get what we can. Thanks so much for sharing your exciting life. God Bless

Thanks for the vicarious high plains journey while I had MY morning cup of brew. I could almost smell the sage. It’s a smell I miss. I grew up in sage country but there isn’t any where I live now. Whenever I’m on the road and start to see sage again, I stop the car and darn near roll in it. I want my hands, my clothes, everything to smell like sage. Lucky you!

Shery … As usual, another great post. First of all, I’m so happy that you finally got some rain and have some green around you again. What a relief! Secondly, I love all the old, rusty stuff you have around. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful photos and stories about life in your part of the world. I’m also glad that you are bonding with Ribbon and beginning to feel more confident riding. Ahhh … the lessons we learn at this age! Carol from Pennsylvania

Shery, I love reading about your Wyoming life. We raise cattle in Missouri, but it is much different than what you experience. And I just recently regained my courage on a horse – or at least I’m working on it. I’ve had a few bad experiences and a broken elbow, and last weekend, I too used the Lord’s prayer to calm me down and get back in the groove. We were on a trail ride, and half way through I could finally feel myself calm down. Thanks for sharing!

Ahhh! Spring! It was here…then snow, now close to 90 degrees! New Hampshire (northern NH) is very much like your weather and growing season. Short. Planted beans this morning. And zucs and cucs. Small space but God always gives me a place to plant. And, I watered the tomatoes in my jammies this morning! Thanks, Shery, I do so love reading your life here.

Awesome! I wish I was a mouse tagging along in your camper:)

Can’t wait:) I long for a campfire dinner and some laughs with friends:). See y’all soon!

We are still trying to get ready for a vintage trailer rally in Roslyn, WA, the middle of June. This will be our first and I still have to get my curtains completed. It seems that the search for decorative items was more fun than the actual curtain making….

Now I’m homesick. You Wyoming glamper gals sure do know how to tramp in style. I was just out fussing in my Airstream and getting itchy also. Happy trails to all of you.

Enjoyed your article…I’m ready to go Glamping! Bessie’s Back-pack is too.

I love your Cabin in Can! Where did you get the lettering or was it hand painted on? JoAnn

——————

Hi Joann,  The letters are decals, made by a gal here in town that has a decal machine. All you have to do is download the font style and you can make letters & silhouette images. I was going to hand-paint the letters in a log style, but when I heard about the decals…well, it was a no-brainer. They are not expensive to buy and it would have taken me a couple of days to paint the letters. Thank you!   Shery
