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! 😉
Makeover
Well, you can’t really tell too much right now, but my house is getting a makeover. The ranch has decided to add fascia, soffit, and a new tin roof to my house! Yippee! As you can tell, the roof has seen better days… and it’s never had either fascia or soffit… so it’s a new…
Do Something!
Wow. What a nice day around here! I worked on my studio, this time doing some chinking. It’s finally warm enough, and it needs to be done before my cement floors get done. It’s amazing how much chinking goop I manage to drop! I wanted to incorporate some colored glass into the chinking, the idea…
New Journeys
I hope you had a wonderful Easter! I hope you enjoyed the simple things… (Quinlan applauds the Easter pinwheel) Or perhaps, discovered something new… (Quinlan chasing soap bubbles) At the very least, I hope you spent time with your family… (Johnny visits with Jaxon, his great grandson) **** As a quick aside… I’d really like…

By Jove
Here they come. Me and my partner blocked this road and forced them uphill on the other road. We did well, even though my partner slept through most of it. Yup. We did good. They’re headed the right way now! We kept the heifers from joining the party by moving them two fences away… By…
Bond. Just Bond!
I traipsed around after the guys the other afternoon… shocked to find that only 5 miles down the road, they didn’t have snow! Somehow, I always think if I have snow… everyone has snow… You’d think I’d learn. We live just over the divide, and it frequently starts snowing within 3 miles of home. Anyway,…
Wordless Wednesday – “Lookin’ Like Momma”
For this Wordless Wednesday… this calf sure looks like her momma.
Soap Stones
Boy. It’s been a LOOONG time since I set up anything in my store… and I hope I did it right… but they are there! SOAP STONES ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Soap and washcloth in one! Great for toddlers (especially in Ivory Soap, it floats!), comfortable for arthritic hands, and the exfoliating action works for faces…
Frustration for the Optimist
Mercy, mercy, what a total day of frustration! iPhoto still was not working this morning, so I rebuilt it as the instructions said to do, and everything looks fine. However, it continued to spin along, going through all my photos organizing faces… which is rather Big Brother-ish, but I let it do its thing, and…
