About Me

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

New Kid on the Block

This colt is three days old and the calves on this side were very curious so they moseyed over to get acquainted. The colt decided to hang out with them for awhile. The ears look a little long on him-he may be a mule. There are some magnificent mules being bred down the road. Mothers appear to be about one quarter Belgian work horse and are dark palominos. They have a common donkey dad. This year's crop of foals are just hitting the ground. Last year's are in another pasture. They are striking looking and would make a great matched team or big riding mules
The little guy is black, his mother is white and she prefers the company of a nursing cow rather than the other horses right now.

We had a quiet day at home. Rain came during my nap.
