I’m pushing on trying to complete Megan’s table. I turned on my heaters and built a fire in the stove, then left to go do my dishes… hoping a little heat and some sunshine would make the studio much more comfortable. It certainly helped, and I spent a few hours listening to “The Greatest Treasure…

#TBT: “Happy Girl”, v.2.0
This was first published February 4, 2011. My help was requested this morning, so I found myself driving the tractor and even pitching a little hay. It was a VERY nice morning… in the 20’s… so that means 50 degrees warmer than the other day! Plus, driving the tractor also means *heater* and *radio*….
Wordless Wednesday: “Tabletop”

You Don’t Stop
A trip to town filled my day… Once again, I failed my “daily photographic journal”… but since the next week is supposed to be full of record cold and snowfall for many of us across this nation… I thought I’d pull out one of my favorite photos of Vernon, enjoying the life of a rancher….
Crafty
I tried to work more on Megan’s table today. I cranked up two little heaters and went to burning. After an hour of huddling in my studio at 25 degrees and a howling wind outside, I gave up. While my studio seems snug, it’s draftiness is quite apparent when the wind is blowing. I retreated…
Bulls
Whipping up a couple of pound cakes, an annual meeting (you know, it’s like we’re a business or something), and a long attempt at helping a friend with her printer/phone/wi-fi/internet… not a necessarily photogenic day. But there was this…
Ledger Art Class
It was all I wanted and more! Robert is a good teacher, leading us into the past and explaining the beginnings of ledger art, then sharing modern artists of the ledger art tradition. Before we knew it, we were working on our own artwork. Encouraging and positive, Robert led each of us on our own…
Ledger Art
While my accomplishments today involved my vacuum and cleaning rags, that simple repeated and temporary chore of cleaning…blech… I’m excited for tomorrow! The Ten Sleep Library has received a grant from Lifetime Arts for an art workshop for those aged 55 and older. Our artist of choice is Robert Martinez from Riverton. Known for his…
#TBT: What I Have To Work With… v.2.0

How weird is that?Wyoming’s not known for fog… moisture in the air just doesn’t happen that often…But we were proud recipients today! I’m still on…
Wordless Wednesday: “Farm Dog”… and a Winner (or two!)
For a jigsaw puzzle of this farm dog on a grey day, go HERE. **** 22 people commented on my post the other day which qualified them for an entry in my calendar giveaway. I entered the numbers in a random number generator and, voilà! Two winners! The winners are: Carole and Beth! Please send…
Progress and Pause
While the guys stay busy feeding cows and bulls, fixing fence, repairing machinery, or doing paperwork, I’m left to my own devices. That means I fill my days with cleaning on my house, doing laundry, taking Bravo for a spin out and about, and crafting. If I get going on crafting, sometimes the first three…
Christmas on the Ranch Video
A compilation of activities around Christmas here on the ranch. This video covers from December 19 – December 27, 2021. A Christmas pageant, sledding, some alcohol ink art work gifts I made, more sledding, Johnny’s 91st birthday, Christmas lights and Christmas, horses and then that pesky unwanted visitor. She was scared away and so far…
