I mentioned I have the theme of “A Christmas Carol” for the library… Victorian… Charles Dickens… right? While trolling for ideas on the internet, I saw a pic of a little chair, a crutch, a top hat, and fiddle set just in a corner… and I *LOVED* it! Tiny Tim’s chair. Can everyone say, “Aaaaaaawwww”?…

Upcoming
The sign I painted on the library door… Obviously our Open House and Silent Auction is coming up FAST! The bulletin board inside is decorated as A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, so my Victorian lamp post served as my sign post. I’m still looking for a Dickens’ style top hat… I should just buy…
Hey, You!
Hey, you! Yeah, I mean you! Thanks so much for reading this little blog, commenting, supporting me in my wacky life, buying calendars (or whatever else I may have for sale…) and just BEING THERE! My readers are amazing people! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving day, no matter what you did!
(Not So) Wordless Wednesday – “Ten Bulls”
Yesterday I said I’d be heading to work early. Well, I did. Ten inches of snow got me out the door in good time… and as I said goodbye to my furry crew in the yard, Dally gave a strange “woof”! I turned back to her to tell her to hush! when I noticed her…
Counting
Snow! Gobs of it! Well, not New York style, but a good little storm this afternoon and evening. The kind where you feel you’ve transported to the Enterprise right before it goes into warp speed… which I would have taken a photo of but I preferred to *stop* my “shuttlecraft” before pulling out the camera. …
The Same
Another one from the pass… Can you tell I’m busy getting ready for the holiday? There hasn’t been too much to post about! Cleaning, organizing, planning and soon cooking have been taking my days. I hope you’re busy doing the same!
Celebrate
We drove over the hill today to celebrate the twins’ third birthday (a little late). The wind was howling on Powder River Pass, elevation 9,666′, but it made for a few great wintry photos!
Black and White
Finally finished. The black and white Red Dirt In My Soul 2015 calendar is available for purchase! Unfortunately, I just took this photo today, so it’s not in there… 😉 Maybe next year if I sell some! This monochromatic version includes my favorite b&w and sepia pics from this last year. Check it out here.
Fun
Started off the morning by zipping to Ten Sleep School. I honestly don’t visit there much, my interest has waned since my kids all graduated… and the biggest visit may be to haul some books over for a teacher or student. Today, though, they had an inspirational speaker who piqued my interest, and since I…
Friend’s Gift
With the cold and the snow (6′ in Buffalo, NY, really???) my mind thinks of wool… Here’s my first wool BOWL! I cut a resist from some soft plastic (floor underlayment) about 5″ across. I began to layer wool roving under and over it, each time changing the direction of the roving, and pulling the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Wild Commute”
Elk and antelope add to the scenery of my commute this morning.
I Wish
I Wish I had painted this, but it’s an app. I plan on learning from it though…
