“Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.” — Emilie Buchwald. If so, they all have a good start this Christmas! I gave a selection of Jan Brett books… one of my favorite illustrators… to be used at a future point in time! **** December 26, 2011 Her Glory December 26, 2010 Wildlife…

Fingers Crossed
Well, I probably should have baked all day… but instead I just continued my line of crafting like Christmas is still two weeks away! NOTICE TO MY FAMILY: Expect gifts throughout January, because obviously you’re not getting all this *hand-did* stuff day after tomorrow! Today’s projects? I made large crayons. Well, I re-melted crayons. This…
BVD
Bangs Vaccination Day. The day when your friendly veterinarian visits with vaccine, a vet shield tattoo, green ink, a toothbrush, and numbered metal tags. It was also the day of the local food co-op, so a mad 40 mile round trip dash started the morning. Followed by unloading of said food… anyone want to share…
Good One
A little corral work today… We shipped off some little steers to a local feedlot… We usually feed them ourselves throughout the winter on hay (and some years, extra barley or oats). This is the first time we’ve ever done this… They’ll come back in the spring and we’ll put them out on grass until…
Very Good Boy
Santa had his work cut out for him at the library today… Jaxon’s a Happy (sleeping) Boy… Quinlan not so much. But that Santa… he was silly. He kept dropping those cool jingle bells. Quinlan was willing to help that much, giving the Jolly Old Elf those bells back! A little patience, no sudden moves,…
Wordless Wednesday – “Brilliant but…”
Brilliant but weak sunshine on the snowy Big Horn Mountains… **** P.S. The first of the calendar orders are on their way as of today… except for yours, Marilyn… I forgot to take a book with me, too! Tomorrow, my dear, yours will be in the mail truck! For those of you still interested, you…
The UN-Party
For years… and years… the women of the Upper Nowood have held a Christmas party. Nowood Creek runs north through this area passing through or near many of our places. If we’re not on the Nowood, chances are, we’re on a creek that flows into the Nowood. Yes. It is NO WOOD. Not Norwood, or…
Catching on FAST
Well, no… I haven’t been on this place long. It’s my first job, if you want to know the truth. They gave me this sorting stick… I’m not real sure what “sorting” is, but look at the awesome trails I can make in the snow! I guess I’m on gate duty. It’s an important job….
They Noticed
The guys worked our replacement heifers today. We’ve decided to keep quite a few this year… Today’s the day they get their “grown-up” eartags, the ones they had until now simply matched their mothers… They get a matching number tattoo in their left ear. They get the number 1 branded on their left hip for…
I Spied
Whew… we ran off to watch Victoria coach her middle school girls basketball team to a second place finish today. Way to go, Kaycee! I’m ready to quit for the day, so I’ll just share what I spied coming home from the PAP presentation the other day… **** December 15, 2011 Tootsies December 15, 2010 …
