It’s a small accomplishment, but I’ll take it. I finished this today. The frame is on its way and it will be added to my wildflower items. It is 13×13. That’s a lot of dots!

Good News
Rain! We received .56” in this storm! It’s the first rain we’ve had in a looonnnggggg time and it was needed so very badly. The dust has settled, snow has fallen on the mountain and has helped quell the growth of the wildfires. It’s been a cool couple of days and everyone is celebrating the…

Gorgeous!
First thing this morning, I texted Megan and Tess and begged for photos of today. They’re gathering our mountain pasture in order to bring the cows down tomorrow.

Elk Fire
Well, I tried to sand on my table by hand today but I think I need my little hand sander because I couldn’t sit there with my knee bent like that for very long. Most of what people suggested for me to do to fill my week, does take some walking around, so that won’t…

Throwback Thursday: How Lucky, v.2.0
This was first posted October 12, 2014. My favorite trail drive of the year… bringing the cows off the top of the Big Horn Mountains. It looks like they’ll fall off the top of the world… Never fear, there *is* a hillside to run down. Well, I don’t run, but some cows do! The rest…
