Thanks to Vernon, I have a cool photo. For a jigsaw puzzle, go HERE.
Finish That Fence
The posts that were pounded in a few days ago finally gained their rails of continuous fence. Brandon and Vernon worked on cutting saddles in the top of the posts and aligning the rest as good as possible. Brandon was there alone welding when I wandered over. Not the prettiest of fences we’ve ever built,…
Part Two
This is part two of our family craft night. The interior 20 sided “ball” is complete and we now will add all the points! Three half size straws will now be tied to the small quarter size triangles. As you can see, Reagan’s pink straws are being tied to the green. Parental help was very…
Family Craft
I decided I’d do a family craft over Thanksgiving. I knew it would be a challenge, but I figured they could do it with some help. The kids would have to make many triangles… easy enough… and tie knots with thread… therein lay the challenge. My prediction was sooooo right. It MAY have been a…
No Googling
Well, I’ve just snored myself awake… so I’m taking the easy out and saying I’ll have to blog tomorrow. What we did today is much, too much, of a complex process that shaking myself awake to be accurate in my description will not work. I will say this. If you know what a stellated icosahedron…
Aftermath
I hope you had a great holiday. We certainly did! Then we met up again today, ate leftovers, and celebrated Reagan’s birthday a few days early. Happy birthday, Sunshine… I can’t remember if I shared this photo I took this summer or not… but it’s a pretty good capture of her!
Happy Thanksgiving
Wishing you the best of the holiday!
Wordless Wednesday:
For a jigsaw puzzle of this morning’s sunrise, go HERE.
Not the Prettiest
Sometimes there’s a whoopsie. Our heifers pushed up against this fence line last week. It’s old. It sits on the edge of a steep bank. The pressure of so many yearling heifers just was too much. The benefit to me was a pile of poles that will be sawn into firewood. Our choice for replacements…
Special Spot
Third time’s a charm. I’d been trying to make it to the mountain, a special place I should be visiting more… but there’s ranch work, and house work, and a dozen other excuses… but I’m determined to change that. If winter allows it, I hope to start making this more of a habit. Best of…
Looking Pretty
I didn’t go help very much, but the day brought the end of the big tire project. Installed in a new place, uphill a stone’s throw, and away from a gate… the huge tire had found its next home. It was plumbed in with new pipe, leveled, and surrounded by old concrete pieces to keep…
Lucky Man
Next on Vernon’s order of business is helping with the big tire water tank In Daniel’s corral. It had been leaking from the fittings underneath. When I arrived, Vernon was in his excavator. He reached out with the big mechanical arm and grabbed the huge tire and started to drag it to its new location….
