Quick story of the day: Walking out to jump in the Jeep and go to Quinlan’s basketball game against Arapaho, I glanced to the right and saw that black piece of plastic still stuck in my fence. I’d seen it last night, but being basically lazy, I hadn’t walked over to pick it up before…
Window Landscapes
Now that I’ve handed out the last of my Christmas presents, I can share. Often I’ve painted tiny watercolors and sold them, but the teeny frames are hard to come by. I look at thrift stores and garage sales but no way will I buy them! That cuts into my profits! I decided to do…
Throwback Thursday: Chopping Ice, v.2.0
This was first posted January 6, 2016. Even though my plan was to finally take down Christmas decorations, when Vernon said it was our day to go to the hills… I jumped at the chance. It seems like these chore days have been falling on library work days, or cooking days, or what-ever-needed-to-be-done days. Before…
Wordless Wednesday: Red Horse
Why do you like red horses? I dunno. Because they match the dirt? For a jigsaw puzzle of Panama and the Big Red Rock, go HERE.
Yakoke
We did it! Today, Victoria and I completed our virtual walk of our ancestors’ Trail of Tears Walk! Whoop, whoop! Or Yakoke!
Tanks and Troughs
With most of the pipeline laid, the guys have turned to installing tanks. Brandon has been doing some all along, but now everyone can join in the fun. This tank is in the corral and we’ve chosen to put it on a cement base. Daniel gives instructions to Vernon’s delicate handling of the block. The…
Kerfuffle
There was quite the bit of excitement in my chicken coop this morning. I’ve had a few mice in there… easily remedied with the application of one of my cats. I guess as I moved the grain bucket, a mouse darted out from underneath. A ruckus ensued among the hens. For many people, they envision…
Craft
Victoria and her boys left after lunch… they played until the last minute with Quinlan and Lorelei before Quinlan had to leave for his basketball game. Lorelei stayed behind to eek out the last minutes with the cousins. When they finally left, I asked Lorelei what we should do… Craft? She asked? So we did….
Quick Trip
Victoria and crew are still here, so as I’m enjoying their visit, enjoy this pic from this morning… a quick fishing trip with the boys.
Happy New Year Birthday
Happy birthday to Vernon! It was a day of good food, family, and a few crazy games!
Poses
Just had to go for a walk on this 55* day! Plus we are racking up the last few miles of our Choctaw Trail of Tears Journey. I took the time to pose with Bravo… why am I frowning? The sun was just in my eyes! And Indy had to give me a boop! I…
Mystery
So a couple of weeks ago, I bought 11 chickens from my neighbor. That gave me 20 hens and one rooster. I was back in the egg business! I kept them locked in the coop and in a small area outside for a week, just to teach them that this was where they belonged and…
