Last year, Vernon and I would take our Sundays to see how far up the mountain we could go in our side by side. After doing maintenance on my side by side, lunch, and a hair cut for Vernon, up the mountain we went. This is March. We shouldn’t be able to make it too…
Innovative
While I continue to struggle to pair my camera and iPad and download some cool photos… I thought I’d share a bit more on water saving techniques but not the check dams and leaky weirs from yesterday. This is for those of you living on city streets with gutters and curbs. I’m sure you’ve seen…
Check Dams
I traveled up the mountain to my Tanasi land… a bit of the mountain I call my own. Tanasi is my great great grandmother’s name. Somewhere in my brain, I had it that “tana” means weaver and “si” is a diminutive. So I thought her name meant Little Weaver. Going through my Choctaw dictionary, I…
Dish Towels
I’ll be teaching a class on block printing at the end of April… and I’ve been anxious to try it myself! There’s a slight learning curve on the carving, but I’m staying with simple designs, so… I chose these nine for a friend who likes horses and shed hunting and fishing and dogs and books!…
Throwback Thursday: Questions and Answers March 2016 Edition (Part Two), v.2.0
This was first posted March 19, 2016. Joan: “What do you suppose made it tangle like that? Isn’t barbed wire usually tight enough for that not to happen?” Twists in barbed wire are usually caused by wildlife jumping them and catching on the wires with their legs. The barbs then actually catch on each other…
Wordless Wednesday: Winter Blast
For a jigsaw puzzle of this wintery blast of weather, go HERE.
Hard Weather
I don’t know how I did it, but I got my camera to talk to my phone… and I can airdrop from my phone to my iPad, so, though it’s clunky and clumsy, I now have photos! While the weather has been unusually warm, a couple of days ago a little storm blew in and…
Dangit
Vernon has switched us to Starlink… and, once again my camera won’t talk to my iPad. Fine, she says, I’ll just switch back to my old router name and go back to it until he cancels that account. Nope! says the camera, I don’t recognize that. But you did 30 minutes ago, she says. Oh,…
Observations
Brandon’s side by side went by, then came back, then a cow went by, and I figured a cow was having problems. Then the pickup went by. And a four wheeler. Then Quinlan’s little silver truck. I was crafting away, but then I got curious. Everyone seemed to be over helping this cow, but it…
Article
Woo-hoo. A state wide electronic newspaper called Cowboy State Daily has written an article about the Ten Sleep Library and our national award! It’s pretty good, though the reporter talked a lot about the tele-health booth. The funding for the booth itself fell through, but we will have a dedicated computer to use in our…
Stress
With all the great weather, Vernon had continued projects while letting everyone else handle calving the heifers. I, of course, went with him to the project in the badlands. Then, we found out that the National Award the library won was going to take some work and I went in to figure out things. I…
Throwback Thursday: Slipper and Babies, v.2.0
This was first posted March 12, 2016. Curious, since I taught a needle felting class tonight! Still doing the wool thing… I told myself to work on that video today… but instead I cleaned my house and actually cooked a decent meal and cleaned out the chicken coop and felted on a slipper. Somehow, the…
