It was a day of extremes… we have bad weather like much of the nation, it was cold, but not horrid, we have snow, but not a lot. The roads weren’t great, but passable. It was something else. I attended a funeral of a Girl Scout boss and inspiration… wearing my pins and scarf to…

Cool
The wood box is filled. I have everything I need… wool slippers, wool blankets… down blankets… I imagine I will be warm! I hope you all stay warm out there! The coldest it’s been here lately was -16˚ a few days ago, far from the coldest I’ve seen it. It’s 10˚ now and falling with…
Occasion

You know, I think about this… how much wildlife sightings are just the norm for me… oh, there’s deer. and antelope. wild turkeys. maybe some sage chickens or chukars or pheasant and ducks and geese… I still get excited over elk! but, I see so many deer, etc., *every day* that…
Good Thing
I decided to go out with Vernon and Daniel and check the water in the badlands. The cows are out there right now, and all of their water tanks must be freed of ice. All owners that have cattle out there rotate this job, so it makes the work load easier. There also has been…

My dogs just LOVE the cold weather! Strange creatures. My internet has been out since yesterday. I started and restarted, unplugged and plugged,…
Wordless Wednesday – “Photobombed”
My scenic creek shot was photobombed repeatedly by a rather large black panther named “Moo”.
Make Your Own Marshmallows
I know, I know, this isn’t a cooking blog… but I made these, and people seem to *really* like them… so I’m gonna share! Making your own marshmallows is EASY. First: sift together 1/4 C powdered sugar and 1/4 C corn starch. This is your “dust”… it keeps your marshmallows from sticking EVERYWHERE. This was…
Thanks
Whew. Lotsa work and tons to think about, but one more Silent Auction fundraiser is over. We had a great turnout. Thank you, Ten Sleep, for all you do for our little library.
Copper Fun
I ignored my house in order to finish up some copper jewelry for the library auction. I always have such high hopes of getting so many things made for the auction… This was all I accomplished today. Plus I tried to make some marshmallows… and I think I’ll try again in the morning! It’ll all…
