Forgive any mistakes, you professionals… this is the first time I’ve handled bees!

What Will Bee…
Well. The Adventure began today… my bees arrived! I’m babysitting Jaxon this weekend, so I had a helper on my run to town, but he slept through most of my visit and pickup at Bryant Honey! These guys sold me my Carniolan bees and some syrup for food. Plus, they helped with my biggest problem……
Getting Anxious
After the 8 inches of snow melted in one day… We had plenty of mud. It was starting to settle… Then it snowed an inch and rained a smidge last night. Back to mud. Another snowstorm is due Sunday night or Monday. No wonder the four seasons of Wyoming are ice, mud, dust, and fire….
Questions and Answers – April 2013 Edition
Barbara: What titles are on your “gotta read that book” list? What books are in your library? Ooooh. GREAT QUESTION, I love it! Right now I’m working my way through the science fiction series starting with Ender’s Game. I hear they’re making a movie, so I wanted to read it first. Next I have Cat…
Wordless Wednesday – “Waiting for Breakfast”
For this Wordless Wednesday… The cows are waiting for breakfast!
Snowstorm Calf
8 inches… Which is better than many parts of Wyoming that did receive the predicted foot of snow. The 60 and 70 mph winds did hit the southern section of the state, and the usual windy spots had their snow blown into impressive drifts as well. Good thing our carpenter listened to the weather reports…
Not Overly Pleasant
Winter just HAD to rattle our cage one more time… I spent the day at work watching it snow, and while it was barely sticking to the ground in Ten Sleep, I arrived home to this. Five inches of the ol’ white stuff. It’s continued to snow, and predictions are for almost a foot by…
This Close
We ran up to Powell today… getting caught in scattered rainshowers! We’re still about the greenest place around, so everyone was happy to see a smidge of moisture. The next two days, Winter is supposed to reappear… That’ll slow our spring work, but we will be grateful for the moisture when it warms back up…
A Grand Adventure
You should have seen it. Three little boys, ball caps listing in various directions, being pulled on a sled around and around the garage by Vernon. Snow? They didn’t need any stinking snow! It fact, it was a rather marvelous day! Giggles abounded. We couldn’t help ourselves! We adults couldn’t stand the cuteness of the…
In the Lee
We chose to go picnicking last night. We thought we’d shoot for the burn on the Mesa Pasture… see how it was greening up… but 3/4 of the way there, it was WAY TOO MUDDY. And just when we had spotted some elk! Mud is good for the Mesa, but bad for picnicking. It *is*…
Decisions. Decisions.
Decisions, decisions. New tin roof colors… what to get? My first choice was mottled brown… from a distance it looks like asphalt shingles… not tin! But, of course, it’s more expensive, and not on the “allowed” list of colors. They had a wonderful sage green, soft, and one of my personal favorites for clothing (if…
Wordless Wednesday – “You’re Not Taking a Picture of Me, Are You?”
Nope, Daniel. Nope. I’m not taking a picture of you! **** Winner of the SoapStone to be announced tomorrow! Yes, there was a winner! More of a story to tell than I can do on Wordless Wednesday, though! 😉
