As the leaves turn and the mercury plummets and occasional snow threatens our young trees, it gives a man pause. It is appropriate to recall those two most important questions that pop up this time of year: Where did the summer go? What did I do this past summer? Before talking about our elusive Wyoming summer experiences, it is important to point out that in many ways fall is the best time of year. The chilly mornings followed by sunny afternoons and crisp evenings provide enjoyable times....

The beginning of this week ushered in the cool crisp colorful season of autumn. Wouldn’t it be nice if our cooking and baking reflected those tasty adjectives? Oh, wait, they can! Pumpkin bars and pies are the first golden brown beauties usually to adorn our tables after the season changes. Pumpkin bars can be a quick alternative to the pie and shouldn’t be written off as a brownie recipe that has Libby pumpkin dumped in. Although, I will admit doing that once or twice. If you are in a toot, or...

Little chilly Monday morning in downtown Harrisburg. Warmed up nicely for the rest of the week however, and should be pretty decent over the weekend. I was hoping for some of that beautiful fall weather for Monday because our 4th graders were spending the day at Flowerfield. They handle the cold much better than I do, so all went well. I spent a day there last week. I am always impressed with the ladies who teach, the inter action with the kids, and the entire learning experience. School days ha...
1 years ago September 25, 1914 Despite the short crop the county fair at Burns was a success. The garden and field display was surprisingly good and proves beyond question that this section is destined to be an agricultural country. The stock exhibit of hogs, cattle and horses, though not large, was good and convinces one that people are paying more attention to the raising and grading up of stock each year. This is a very essential feature in an agricultural section. Friday, Cheyenne day, was the big day. The people of Cheyenne proved loyal;...
