Still no luck downloading photos. Can anyone say, Aggravation? Tonight I had another peg’s worth of bags slid down on my rug. I can tell that the first rows I didn’t twist the bags any, and then for some reason I decided to. It has a different look to it but that may not be…
Peg Loom 2
Vernon and I went on a little adventure today and I was all set to share but my camera is refusing to find my wifi and download photos. Our internet provider brought us a new router… I have no idea what was wrong with the old one… probably nothing. The installer insisted we use a…
Peg Loom
Congratulations, it’s a peg loom! This type of weaving predates the Vikings. Pegs are set into the holes in a board. Weft strings are laced into the pegs. Then whatever you’re wanting your rug to be made from, for my first one, I’m using plastic grocery bags looped into a rope. It is wound alternately…
Welp
I’ve told myself over and over again… I don’t need another craft… I don’t need another craft… Welp, I’ve got another craft… Any guesses? I’m pretty sure this is a craft few of you have heard about. Hopefully, tomorrow I can give it a really good try…
Throwback Thursday: Helpful Tip, v.2.0
This was first posted January 30, 2016. When moving cows along a road… should you desire to split them… I have the technique for you to try. First, get your horse herd to stand in the middle of the road. Now, how you accomplish this is up to you… ours seemed to be well trained…
Wordless Wednesday: Letting the Dogs Go
For a jigsaw puzzle of the dogs bringing up the cows, go HERE.
Long Cold Day
Well, it was -15 at my place and colder at Daniel’s, but it was the day we’d planned to work cows… so work cows, we did. At one point, Brandon held his syringe in the exhaust of the side by side to help warm it up. The pour on Daniel was using was in by…
Lost Among the Wolves, III
I recently had a relative send me this old story published over 50 years ago. Since it’s reached its 50 year limit, I thought I’d share it with you over the next few days. It’s quite the story! Lost among the wolves by Mary E. Witherup in Wyoming Magazine, Vol VIII No. 2 June-July 1975,…

Update
I thought I’d give a quick update on my freeze branding. We freeze branded mid November, you can read about it here. My first attempts at my brand aren’t overly great… but they will do. My “slash lazy A” is thinner than I’d like, so I probably needed to hold it on a bit longer….
Throwback Thursday: Eighteen
I about forgot… after checking last week I hadn’t overshot the date, I just vaguely knew today that I was missing something. I guess I’m getting old and forgetful! Let’s do math… 2026 – 2008. 18. Really? Really? So, yes, that long ago, I sat down to start writing this blog. Am I insane, or…
