Well, I didn’t take the time to figure out why my camera won’t download some of my videos. I’m not sure if its a memory thing, or if its unreadable for some other reason. Which is too bad, because I have great movies of Quinlan’s first bull sale! You’d think the sound and activity would…

Attentive
Today included: driving 2 hours to a bull sale. (bought a couple!) driving another 45 minutes to a.) watch Victoria’s middle school basketball team that she coaches (they won!) b.) attend an early 1st birthday party for the twins! driving home. OK. Technically I didn’t drive… but you know what I mean. That’s enough for…
Warm Place
I made some minor adjustments to the chicken coop this morning… Though repairing the window might require the purchase of larger rolls of wire… The rest of the day, it seems, was spent in my kitchen. It was a drying kind of day. As in dehydrator. Cleaning my refrigerator, aka creating soup starter, occupied part…
Dark Moons and Starlight
I wish I could photograph for you what I see at night, but pixels are poor imitators of the immenseness… the deep, soul-sucking blackness that backs the diamond brilliance of starlight unimpeded by city lights. The Milky Way that swags across the sky, a holiday decoration for year-round pleasure. The planets that wander along their…

Cooped Up
After lunch, I decided to transfer the chickens back into the Puppy Coop. It was such a nice day, 40 and sunny, so it felt good to be out shuffling things around. I grabbed all my dog supplies, crates and tunnels and beds and toys and hauled them to the bunkhouse. The roost had been…
Questions and Answers – November 2012 Edition
Let’s get going! Sandy G.: Was there a reason for tying the twine on the chicken’s leg? (Keep it out of your garden, keep it nearby, or just for some fun!!) ??? (I am an ignoramus when it comes to chickens, so just wondering.) ;-} Sandy, I figured I needed a way to catch her……
Lookin’ Purty
No, I haven’t forgotten Q&A time… just busy. Supper for nine tonight…and then I just kicked back. I’ll answer those questions and comments tomorrow! It was -5º this morning… and probably colder now… there’s frost on the inside of my windows! The girls and I did manage a walk this morning, though… (I like how…
Proof of Snowfall
As Jaxon was being born… a cold front was moving into Wyoming. The prediction was for 2-4″ of snow, and much colder temperatures. Amazing how dropping barometric pressure can bring on labor! We started receiving very light snow a couple of hours before we decided to drive to Worland to see Jaxon. We didn’t think…
Reinforcements
First of all, my apologies for not posting last night. Got home at 8 pm, ate some supper, sat down on the couch and about 9:30 fell asleep. I woke up just after midnight with a crick in my neck, and just too out of it to even consider booting up my Mac and writing…

What About You?
Since I’ve put out the call for questions for this month’s Q&A… I’d like to ask for suggestions as well… What *haven’t* I covered in blog posts? (stay away from personal items, I won’s share that! ) (I still have to make a solar oven… I haven’t forgotten… and I never touched too much on…
