So the excitement of the day? Daniel came running over from the shed, looking for me and my dogs… a black bear was coming down the highway and crossed the cattle guard on the road into my house! I was working on my studio but came out to see the ruckus, my dogs went crazy,…

The Pits
I’m tired. Twenty pounds of peaches and a crock of pickles and supper for eight. Only a half cleaned house, but oh, well. I’m calling it good for this evening… my back is sore and it’s the pits! **** August 24, 2011 Wordless Wednesday – “Lone Stalk” August 24, 2010 Big Cedar Ridge August 24,…
Minute Movie: Moose!
Vernon and I went to Deer Haven Lodge last night for our anniversary dinner. The New York Strip was excellent… well, it all was, even the salad! Instead of heading straight home, Vernon decided to take a drive up to West Ten Sleep Lake… a popular campground. Evening was falling and the scent of rain…

All The Fun I Can Stand
I saw on Twitter the other day, someone was going to pass out at an ag conference the bumper sticker/vinyl cling that claimed: I’M HOT. I’M DIRTY. I FARM. It made me giggle. Well, today I came up with my own version. I’M HOT. I’M SWEATY. I’M STICKY. I CAN. Can. As in canning… preserving……

August 2012 Vlog
I decided to leave off here… Wonderful ending, eh? Good grief, I am such a dork. I missed a question… Have you done anymore welding? No… but I’m planning to! It’s fun!

So Sad
Reb was supposed to leave today… so I took him out for a Last Walk in Wyoming… He dug in gopher mounds… Crossed cattleguards… Bravely navigated a creek crossing… And loved on his momma. His new owners were delayed by a day, however… so I can take a few more photos tomorrow! Then the last…
Right Place
I’m going to repeat myself. Because I talked about these years ago… but when J. showed up the other day, and brought me two new ones… I just HAVE to mention them again, they’re just so cool! This is what I’m talking about… First, “Welcome, Friends” Then, “Cowboy Wisdom” She just photographs vintage farm tools,…

Yesterday, a woman and her husband stopped in… Someone who had worked on this place back when it belonged to the former owner… Back when our children were little, babies, and being born… Back when I was SO SO SO happy to have people MY AGE finally around the “neighborhood”. Back when we were learning…
