As Johnny continues to clean and organize his basement, more cardboard boxes full of “treasure” have appeared. For instance, right now we have a box full of letters and cancelled checks and other papers from 1933-1949. The letter tells of the attempt to purchase 40 acres from Mr. M., as it would square off a…

Wordless Wednesday – “Frozen Waterfalls”
Frozen Waterfall
Collection
Adding to the collection… A couple of country scenes and the Green Man… A far out fox, some welcoming birds, and a silly llama!

No more news on the chicken/egg front. Nothing else has hatched, but I’m still going to give her a couple of more days just to make sure… I can’t believe only one out of ten would be fertile, but who knows. I’ll attempt to break her from being broody if these don’t work out. Poor…

Ag Days
Once again, it was time for the local WESTI Ag Days in Worland. If you remember, I was a speaker here last year, right before Vernon and I took our vacation to San Francisco. This time I wasn’t a speaker, but I had a few spoons, and jewelry, and photos, and paintings, and calendars for…

Then I thought, well, let’s see if there’s an easier way to teach crochet to young kids that don’t have great hand-eye coordination. So… somewhere along the line, I found finger crochet. Basically, instead of using a crochet hook,…
Walk
Finally, I felt good enough and it warmed up enough that Eden and I could go for a walk! I honestly don’t think there’s a better way for me to feel *normal*.
