Blue Prairie Hero
I would not have been near so late writing this blog, but for a Roy Rogers movie on RFD-TV! I couldn’t resist… dear ol’ Roy was my first true love! Sometimes those old movies just strike me as a simple joy. Everything is black and white, including the film… Nice harmony… Gorgeous horse… Classic cars……
A Few More Hills
A little progress was made today… It rained this morning, so there was a delay… but the tower is bolted to the pad… and some pipe is together. In the comments yesterday, Judy asked, “WOW! looks like you have to move a lot more dirt a lot farther for it than any farmer in Nebraska…
Here It Comes
Yes, Yes! So many of you guessed correctly, now that more of the details were revealed! We are proud owners of a new center pivot. The first we’ve ever owned. The next two days will, weather permitting, have the tower in place and the pipe fitted together! It will be a bit before the electrical…
Big Impact
While a couple of you gave my query of “What is Vernon’s latest project?” a couple of unique and humorous guesses… (No, it’s not a man cave or a donut shack!) and since J. could “cheat” by seeing the entire field as she drove by… I figured it was only fair I give out another…
Vernon’s Project
Vernon’s projects are much bigger than mine… and lately progress has been made… with much more to come! It began with this… and, today, it made it through Step Two! This is the reason we’re tearing down the shed and moving the granary… It’s not too hard to figure out… but I think I’ll ask…
Now Transforming
Since I’ve spent the past three days working at the library… doing our normal routine plus getting ready for our Harvest Dinner Fundraiser plus decorating for Halloween… I figured I’d share! The banner my coworker and I created Tuesday is just spiffy… Then my addition of cobwebs to the ceiling added just a smidge more…
Wordless Wednesday – “My Valley. My Home”
One (oversized) to show detail. One (oversized) to show the expansive light in my valley… my home. **** October 17, 2011 Good Thing October 17, 2010 Doing Ranch Work October 17, 2009 No entry. October 17, 2008 Progress
Sweet Home
The most magnificent light burst from behind the rain (!) clouds on my way home from work today… I’ll save the best for tomorrow… but I don’t think this one is too bad, either! My little home sweet home… **** October 16, 2011 Zoom October 16, 2010 Join in the Fun October 16, 2009 Teaser…
21 Pints and Disaster
Bleh. I have 21 pints of salsa and a disaster of a kitchen to clean… That was my day, how was yours? **** October 15, 2011 Oh, Gee (look, last year I was too tired to write, too!) October 15, 2010 The Bidding Starts NOW October 15, 2009 We Know Wapiti (boy, howdy, do we!)…
Next Assignment
Earlier this summer, this little pen looked like this: We have used it for some calves, though ever since a big windstorm and our purchase of the Mills Place, it hasn’t done heavy duty. The windstorm did quite the number on the roof and one side… and Vernon has a Big Project in the works….
Good Job
Today marked another year for the Scarecrow Contest at the library! Although we had fewer entries, the level of creativity was just as high… My favorite? Easily Brandon’s entry… Nicknamed “Daniel, the Ski Bum”! Hmmmm. The Daniel I know is more Sled Head than Ski Bum, so I don’t know who Brandon modeled his scarecrow…
