Remember the 4th of July Parade? When my friend, KJ, and I built this float for one of our favorite local authors? We made a big ol’ wolf coming out of his most recent book since it *is* called Land of Wolves. Plus, we had fun adding “library stuff” to the book like a backtag…
Gnomies
After those vintage trailer rocks, I had to try my hand at making a few of those popular gnome figures. I like the trailers better, but these guys can still be my gnomies… Question: do you prefer them to be magnets or hanging ornaments?
What To Do?
Today, we went and picked up our new-to-us dining table and chairs. It’s much darker than the other woods we have, a rich “almost cherry”… about as far from the beat up, blonde, 1950’s table and buffet we inherited when we moved into this house. Everything is sturdy and solid. I really like them… but……
#TBT: “Ooohhh… Wyoming Wind, v.2.0”
This post was originally written November 14, 2008. Tucked away as we are, sheltered from traffic and people and other disturbances, it still comes as a shock when the infamous Wyoming Wind blows. Now I basically grew up in Casper, Wyoming (since I was 12), and it is famous for its wind. Gusts in the…

Vintage Trailers
What is it about those 1950’s trailers, repainted and repurposed instead of sitting abandoned… I love ‘em… So… grab some perfectly shaped cobbles from the creek, wash ‘em, and start painting! Aren’t they cuuuuuuuute? And I like those old pickups, too…
Treasure Beach
Because I needed some rocks for a craft I had in mind… I recruited my local work force. Nothing like a good rocky beach for discovering all sorts of treasures! Tomorrow I will share what I’ve been working on.
Keepers
Those young heifers that have made the cut to become the replacements for our older cows that we sold needed some work. They have had their eartag that matched their mommas’ since birth. Now they get their grownup numbers and tags. This heifer is cooperative, showing off her little black tag. Black tags mean her…
Questions and Answers: November 2019 Edition
Lots of questions going clear back through October… now I may not reply to each comment, but be sure I read them all! Depending on the day, I may answer you right away, or stock up your question for these Q&A sessions. Don’t forget, there’s a tab at the top of my website with older…
Dangerous Beach
Imagine it. A beach with worn stones, from bagel size to bread loaf size. A virtual minefield for broken and twisted ankles. To make things even more interesting, let’s take those bare stones, and cover them with a layer of moss. Not the kind that’s thick and luxurious, but the kind that’s thin and slimy….
#TBT: Dirt, v.2.0
This was first posted November 10, 2008. What began as an invigorating hike morphed into one of those meandering strolls, like Lucas and I experienced here. But instead of Lucas being exhausted, it was me! I feel so good lately, I go out and try to do activities like I did before my PE incident. That…
