Sometimes having all these outbuildings is a blessing… and sometimes a curse. It means you have room to store STUFF, which means you have a tendency to store STUFF. Honestly, I’m not too ashamed (most of the time) to dig out some old toys for my grandkids instead of buying something new, because in all…

Mind Your Own Business
The other day, as the warm weather shrunk the snowbanks into the ground, I worked in my yard. If you recall, we had our cottonwoods trimmed last fall and under the snow is a carpet of sawdust and sticks. It’s going to take a few sore backs full to clean up this mess. As I…
Art Doodle
I taught an art doodle class at the library tonight. It’s a fun little hobby, easy to do, minimal supplies… We went over some designs… Practiced a little… Then we all copied a stencil of a cat… and look what happened! Each one is so different! This was SO FUN! Thanks, ladies, for coming!
What a Difference

I was all about the presentation! That’s my sign…and a tablecloth… Unfortunately, I didn’t win… Sara did… She’s sporting…
Peace, Truce
It must be too late at night because I do not know where my camera is… sometimes… sigh. Well, I’ll save today’s story for another time, I guess. And tomorrow is the chili cookoff and auction and tshirt sale to benefit the Fire Department, so I’ll be sharing that tomorrow. Direct donations can be made…
Heads Up, Craig Johnson Fans!

Well, neighboring towns have been generous in gear and money… raising money at basketball games or bake sales. Donations have come from across the country directly to our…
Questions and Answers – March 2015 Edition
Let’s go! Della/Joanne/Peg: (Concerning my doodle shoes) Do you use a pen, sharpie, what? Most looks way too fine for a typical sharpie, but maybe a fine point? How long did it take to complete your doodling? I used a fine point sharpie on canvas shoes. I did it over a series of nights in…
Winter Scenes
Two days of absolutely gorgeous weather and the snow is retreating fast! I’ve taken the twins out in the morning to go sledding because by afternoon, the snow is more mush than snow and it’s hard for three year olds to slog through mush. Victoria and the boys did leave this afternoon though, which gave…
Guest Doodle
Today’s guest blogger, aged three, begins practice for my art doodle class. He seemed to be more interested in color than form. I may need to work on my early childhood teaching skills… Just a bit. Thanks, Wyatt. **** Any more questions for my Q&A session? Post them in the comment section!
