A few weeks ago, I started my latest wool project. When the wind blows and that cold goes rushing by your ears, you become a fan of whatever can cover your ears! For years I”ve carried a simple earband in my Carhartt pocket. Just a smidge different, it was long enough to go OVER my…

Hermit
It was one of these days. If the roads are nasty, then we’re probably headed somewhere… Today it was Cody, where our pickup had an appointment for early tomorrow morning. I would have delayed the trip, but in 5 days or so, our heifers will really be calving, and getting time to drive that far,…
Bee Adventurous – My Helper
I thought you might enjoy this quick video of Lucas and my new top bar beehive. I was seated on a log… just watching the bees go in and out of their entrance holes. There were just a few dozen of them, none of which was paying any attention to either of us. Lucas decided…
Sunshine Breakfast
By the time I’m heading to work in the morning… Vernon has already fed the cows at the lower place… Breakfast in the morning sunshine!
Commercial Time Filler
I need a favor. The BlogHer community is running their contest for Voice of the Year again. This is a way to promote great bloggers across the country. In 2011 and 2012, I was recognized as one of the Voices of the Year. I even made it into their downloadable book of entries in 2012. …
At 60 MPH
Picture yourself zipping down the highway and you glance at a neighbor’s corrals. There he is again! Standing on top of the fence! Boy, that horse has great balance! Well… maybe not. But you can see how, at 60 mph, that first glance makes you do a double take!

Ten Sleep is having a baby boom. Twelve, well, I think it’s twelve, people from Ten Sleep are having babies! Some live other places now, but we count them just the same! Additionally, some people know what their little bundles of joy are… and for the first time in a while, we have girls! Seems…
Bee Adventurous IV
It was a warm day… it actually rained for a bit… rain on snow means mush everywhere and ice when it cools down again. I pursued some indoor projects… My Indian room has needed curtains since I moved in. I’ve repurposed the original lined draperies into a bedskirt and today I made a pillow case…
Good Things
My, oh, my! I’ve a couple of videos for you… but I didn’t come in here soon enough to accomplish that! After fussing and researching, I decided, once the sun was out and it was a balmy 45˚, to go ahead and break into my new hive and see the conditions. I had worried that…
Lovely Day
On this Valentine’s Day… I hope you shared your love with someone! Thanks to our patrons at the Ten Sleep Library, we had a LOVELY day!
Bee Adventurous Again
My first bee sting. She didn’t get me very good, so it wasn’t much… and, yes, I deserved it. Don’t Put Your Fingers Where You Can’t See, one of the cardinal rules of beekeeping… oops. Let me tell you the story of this Bee Attempt. I saw on craigslist a successful top bar hive was…
