One of the most common questions I receive about living “way out in the boonies on a ranch”, is one about shopping. Whether I like it or do it often or where’s the closest mall… (no, no, and 4 hours away) The same applies to doctor visits… whether it’s close and convenient, and how do…

Pay Backs
All summer. ALL SUMMER! I’ve been wanting someone to help me hang my Wyoming map that will serve as a shade for my large window in my studio… We’ve discussed methods and brackets and wood vs. metal… But I cornered Brandon… and I spent a bit helping him repair a water tank, and so, he…
Worm Pills for Children
In between working and riding and fighting to create the Powwow Video… I have been able to sneak out to my studio! While I’m still in search of my map of Girl Scout National Center West (anyone have a spare to donate? 😉 ), so my map tabletop is at a standstill, I decided to…
Finally. Crow Fair Powwow Video
I had to shorten it AGAIN, and it took forever uploading, but it’s DONE! Then, no, it wasn’t. Then they said I couldn’t upload it, conversion problems. So I remade the darn thing, and uploaded it again. Then I had maxed out my limit… what???? Looked again, the FIRST video was up. Sheesh. Deleted the…

I was all ready to embed the video… then em-bed myself… but, come to find out… the video was too big and Vimeo didn’t like it. I’ve edited it down and am re-uploading it now. First thing in the morning, I’ll post it, so you’ll get it when most of you read my blog anyway!…

Crow Fair Powwow
Powwow pics… Jingle dress color guard. Traditional dress. Fancy dancer. Elk ivory dress. The traditional beaded batman… Holy beadwork! How cute, eh? Just a riot of color and craftwork and artistry… Jingle dresses and ribbon shirts, traditional and fancy dancers, shawl dancers and one guy in tshirt, shorts, and checking his smartphone! It was amazing. …
Crow Fair
Oh, I had FUN yesterday! Friends asked if I’d like to go along on one of their weekend jaunts… and I went! 🙂 Yay, me! We started off with a trip to an antique store in Buffalo, and then to Pick’s Saddle Shop to talk to a guy (who owns one of my pups) to…

Forget California, this pair looks happy HERE…
Quick Escape
Salt and mineral and a drive through health check took Vernon and I to the mountain pastures today. Nothing looked sick… just saw the pretty scenery… and had a quick escape to cooler temperatures!
Lights Off
Pet Peeve #32. Lights. Love ’em in my house and outbuildings… I seem to need them more and more on whatever I’m working on… but I’m talking outdoor lights. Floodlights. Yard lights. Now, I know my mom in heaven is just laughing with my dad, because I was scared of the dark way back when. …
