So… I found out that you can paint with Red Dirt. I found out I needed to improve my artistry… perhaps profiles would be easier? I really really really wanted, though, to have my three dogs on a canvas bag. I use canvas bags all the time… or recycled feed bags. 😉 So, I gave…

Red Dirt Medium
Well, I was going to answer your good wishes one by one, but evidently GoDaddy and I are on different pages at the moment. To each of you that sent well wishes, thank you! It is just a head cold… and orange juice and neti pots and hot baths seem to be working… Let’s return…

If you’ve been here any amount of time… You know I love Red Dirt! I named my book and my blog, Red Dirt In My Soul. But, not only is Red Dirt in my soul… it is also… in my laundry. Yeah. Good ol’ red dirt. It stays in laundry Very Well. So well, in…
Storm Beauty
I’m sending prayers to all of those impacted by all the horrible storms and tornadoes today. It sure makes our little snowstorms seem miniscule by comparison. I hope you can find beauty in all the destruction… somewhere… somehow. Jot down in your calendar… March 12 Girl Scout 100th Anniv. Open House at the Ten…
Family Tree
Not long ago, I shared the beginnings of an undertaking with you… in As Time Goes By. It is my version of the Pinterest project usually called “painted family tree” or some such title. Like I said earlier, this is an ongoing job, as our family grows… so will these photo walls. I’m looking for…
Wordless Wednesday – “Fresh Snowfall”
with 13″… Dally had plenty of fresh snow to enjoy! **** February 29, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008… No entries!!! P.S. A Very Happy Birthday to my cousin J.! Are you 15 today????
Calf Cam Spying
I sit here, spying on my son… The Calf Cam is in great form. The baldy cow had a baldy calf… and I LOVE baldy calves! To me, there’s more chance for “character”… or at least a name! Every other calf that’s pure black is just… black. Hard to tell one from the other. (Well,…
Un-onslaught
I keep waiting for it to “HIT”. The rush of baby calves. The flow of amniotic fluid… the grunts of labor… the slimywetcuterthansnot black babies that (hopefully) slip into this world… the steam that rises from their backs… the first shake of a head and blow of a nose… the mother’s soft “meh” accompanied by…

I know you’re probably wondering, “When will Red Dirt In My Soul ever switch over to its new format?” Well, I’m still chugging along at printing off all my blog entries. I shouldn’t have started… because now I don’t want to quit! But I do, too, because it is taking forever! I have 2008 done….
Heifer Checkin’
For a change, I did the ten o’clock shift with the heifers tonight. Daniel is gone, and for the price of two kisses, I told him I’d could probably manage to cover for him. He gave me a peck on each cheek… so I ended up hours later… bundling up at 10 pm, heading out…
The Job Everyone Ha- Doesn’t Care For
“The job everyone hates.” That’s the way Daniel described his afternoon chore of grinding grain. We feed our calves extra grain rations during the winter… it helps them grow big and strong! If we only fed them hay, like their mothers, they would put much of that energy into keeping warm and not grow as…
