You’ll never guess what the nice UPS man brought me today… My newest Canon camera! Yes, I impulsed bought a Canon SX720HS. It was $50 off… so how could I resist, right? and those horrid spots inside my other camera with that rough grinding noise while zooming the lens? It is downhill from here. It’s…

Rising Water
Two Canada geese watch the Nowood River as it rises with flood waters. One is probably on its nest. The southern half of Wyoming has been slammed with rain and snow, flooding in towns, closing the Interstate. We received only 1/100th of an inch of rain even though much more was predicted. We’re very grateful…
Half a Mile to Go
I alternate between cleaning my house and outdoor chores… too often I ignore my house in favor of “playing”, so it’s about time I do more than a swipe and a swish to clean things up! It *is* SPRING… While cleaning my light fixtures of bugs is rewarding… it’s not very photogenic… it isn’t very…

Wordless Wednesday – “Lazy Boys”
Ten lazy bull elk bedded down in our field the other day… mid-afternoon and they are simply laying around… double click on the photo to help spot their new growing antlers.
Sounds Like Work
If you see me tomorrow, and I’m walking a bit slow… it’s because I rototilled on my garden for a bit… then I rode my bike clear to the mailbox at the other place (roundtrip of six miles)… then I came home and mowed my lawn with my little mower. It’s like pushing a mower…
Bee Check
Bee check. The new bees have been in the Golden Hive and Beebylon for almost a week now. They look pretty happy to me… and Mess-opotamia is looking busy as well. Thanks to Sheri, who reminded me of the name of my own hive… There’s a bazillion dandelions now, so they SHOULD Bee Happy! They…
Zentangled Shoes
I babysat until afternoon then decided to see if it was dry enough to rototill my garden. It was. Around and around I went, sparing the volunteer lettuce! The soil looks great under the straw left from my straw bale garden attempt last summer. I plan to go capture some other rotting straw and till…
New Home
It was time to move the chicks… they’ve outgrown their little pen in the wood shed! Since I also still have my older chickens, I moved the young ones out to the milking shed, and avoided any conflict between the two ages. I had help today… Aren’t the Barred Rocks BIG? The were very funny…
Tempting Work
The weather has been amazing here of late. I believe Vernon told me in the past 40 days, we’ve received over three inches of rain and wet snow. That is simply, simply unbelievable. And it’s cold. I mean, in the 30’s and 40’s cold. With wind. Yippee. I’ve been hiding out indoors. Sitting around. Of…
Loved
Rumor has it, someone had a second birthday party today. Here’s hoping it was full of thrills. Our best to you, Miss Lorelei! You are loved.
