Wool Scarf
Tomorrow the Ten Sleep Library will be hosting Billie Jo Norsworthy from Lucy’s Sheep Camp. She’s coming over from Thermopolis just to give some lucky people a class on wool needle felting! Of course, someone has to be there to supervise the library… 😉 If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve seen me…
Calf Warmer
Still hung around close to the house today… working on some wool projects and cleaning… After lunch, though, I said I’d feed my bees and head down to where the guys were installing the calf warmer. After some research, I decided NOT to give the bees any corn syrup, as liquids need to be dried…
Happy Girls
Bummer. Everyone has had a cold around here, after the nasty crud in December, and the flu over Christmas… and I thought, knock on wood, that it might just pass me by. Nope. I got it. It’s been a horrid cold and flu season around here, hitting people in this community very hard. Actually, I…
Plein Air
The gift of pastel pencils has now turned into an obsession. I went ahead and bought regular pastels to speed up things… I’ve watched videos… I’ve glanced at some library books.

Rising
Spent most of my day preparing and hosting an Origami Owl Jewelry party. It was fun… not my typical thing to do! So… All I have is the almost full moon rising the other day…
Chanting
When you combine a split hose, water, and Wyoming winter, you get… There is a fine mist spraying into the center. Every texture of ice is portrayed. The melted glass look… Sugared crystalline grass… Feathered ice. And speaking of feathers… Upon my approach, I instantly saw it. Do you? On the right, an Indian medicine…
Wordless Wednesday – “English Shadow”
Oh, that English Shadow…
Phoenix
This has occupied our thoughts here lately. (photo by Lee Lockhart) This is Ten Sleep’s Fire Hall. Sunday night it burned down… with 5 vehicles inside. How ironic that a fire hall would burn down, especially since it is one of the “newer” buildings in Ten Sleep. We have many more buildings that have worse…
Advantage
One of the basic things I believe you should teach your dog is patience and calmness. Calmness around livestock is a great quality to have… it’s easier on your dog… and your cattle. While I’ve let Eden go along on some trail drives, I haven’t really WORKED her. She’s followed the other dogs and had…
