After working on Daniel’s pipeline project, Vernon decided to move over to my place. We were so happy with the way his project on the Mesa turned out, we’ve decided to try the same thing at my “pond”. My pond refuses to hold water for long, most likely because it sits on the Ten Sleep…
Patience
Waiting on me…
Set-up
While I’ve been working on my outhouse door, Vernon has been up on the mountain, digging another… you guessed it… water pipeline. This one is for Daniel. I finally had to drive up and have a peek before it was totally finished. 90% is complete. A spring from further up the hill will flow into…
Throwback Thursday: Work and Play, v.2.0
This was first published August 14, 2016. Here’s a couple of shots just to show the difference… and why I like painting the old wood. I grant you “character” points, but just give the new paint a couple of years… Wyoming is pretty hard on paint! Two nights on the trampoline to watch the Perseids……
Wordless Wednesday: Aspen Views
I couldn’t make up my mind, so you get double the fun. First puzzle…. Aspen views. Then there’s this one. A close up of white aspen bark.
More Door
Haha. Any Lord of the Rings fans out there? Vernon was busy on the mountain working on a pipeline… so I had plenty of time to stare at my door. I thought and planned and thought… and I still messed it up! My brother, the carpenter would not be so proud… but in my defense,…
Door
I started on the door to the outhouse today… I finally decided on a Dutch door design similar to what I built for my studio. I spend a lot of time staring at it… trying to think everything through! I’m making it complete first, then will saw it in half at the end. The first…
Big Aspen
Take the day off, go on a picnic, find the biggest aspen tree I’ve ever seen… yup. Did that. Good size for a pine or fir… but an aspen?
Someday
More pond fence photos… It’ll look very pretty with green grass growing around it someday.
Pond Fence
What can you get done with hard work and many hands? Well, quite a bit! The goal? Build a fence around our pond with the plastic liner. It took many hands to spread that liner… and we were back to finish the job. The ponds have filled. Braces in four corners. A gate brace. Tposts…
Throwback Thursday: Wanderers, v.2.0
This was first posted August 8, 2016. Straightening up a mess on the mountain today, our cows decided to wander… my three kids and I rode and Vernon zipped around in the side by side, putting out salt and mineral and fixing fence along the way. Once settled in the new pasture, the cows and…
Wordless Wednesday: You Can’t See Me
Look closely at this puzzle. It’s not just a photo of our pivot field and the lower field. Brandon took this picture the other day, can you see what was watching him? He said it turned as he walked by… Complete this puzzle and see what Brandon saw.
