Yup. A day that actually acted like April. It was great! Unfortunately, I spent most of it in the library… but that’s ok. It didn’t give me much of an opportunity to take photos, however… so instead, I’m going to share an idea that I ran across a couple of weeks ago. There’s another Wyoming…
Wordless Wednesday – “Chieftan”
Chieftan watches over springtime in the Big Horns.
All Progress
Most of the snow melted today… and if there’s one thing that will put a smile on a farmer’s face, it is timing the application of fertilizer so that a spring storm will take it into the ground. Vernon managed that today. It’s a fine line between frozen and muddy, because if there’s one thing…
Halfway Stylin’
Snow. Wet snow. Lots of it. It looks like Christmas again! I started (finally) to whip up a valance for my Indian room from the old drapes that were in there, and had barely marked it out, when Vernon said he was going to work on my little minitruck! Yay! The tires have always been…
Frostography
I had the opportunity to take some amazing photos today… and pretty much messed them up. They were out of focus, partially my fault, partially the camera’s automatic focus.

Warm Light and Vultures
Finally. Warm light. and vultures. It must be spring!
Drama. Queen.
Today warmed up some, the best we’ve had, so I decided to transfer the bees to my top bar hive. I lifted the feeder. No movement. I lifted the lid. No movement. Crud. I lifted off the box, and there were my bees, in a pile. An unmoving pile. It looked like they had been…
Wordless Wednesday – “Patience”
Patience is a virtue, especially while waiting for this spring to arrive…
Bee Adventurous – Part Two
My top bar hive is an unusual style. Most bee hives today are the Langstroth hive, boxes on boxes that you’ve probably seen along the roadway. They are perfect for producing a great quantity of honey while pollinating large acreages. I didn’t need that. I wanted a small amount of honey for myself, maybe some…
Too Exciting
It’s here! It’s here! It’s awesome. My top bar hive arrived today and I’m just giddy! I can give you a video tour tomorrow… I’ve decided to wait to transfer them until the end of the week. It has been cold and blustery and snowing on occasion and even though the top bar might be…
