Ha! I did it. My first pysanky completion of the year. The white is done, I’ve just covered the brown with wax… All dyed. With the wax melted off… Other side… white is finished and I’ve just covered the brown… All dyed… (very bad photo too… but realized it too late!) Wax all gone! View…

I’ve got the hankering for pysanky! After my classes… and a friend posting hers on facebook… and seeing my link for last year’s trypillian egg… That’s all I want to do is sit and smell that melted wax and create! Instead, today, I sorted and cleaned and painted and organized and…
Friends of the Ten Sleep Library
It’s a busy few weeks at the Ten Sleep Library and seeing as how I was recently elected president of the Friends of the TSL… I’m busy promoting. First I gave a Pysanky class… Ukrainian egg decorating… and charged $5 to benefit the Friends. It was a good time, with 10 participants and just as…
Highway 20 Views 2
So here, in no particular order: No surprise to see more windmills on these high plains, but why is it I take comfort at these old style windmills but the new ones for electricity just irritate me? With lights and bleachers and an old school bus on stilts, the Merriman Speedway Mud Races look like…
First Campfire
OK. I was all prepared to share more unique sights in Nebraska… then it was late and I thought, well, I’ll just show ’em some First Campfire scenes and then go to bed… But this I have to share. Remember, how I worked to come to terms with my (seemingly) lack of readership and felt…
Highway 20 Views
The thing I enjoy the most while traveling, is just to see how other people live. Now, granted… central Nebraska is not that far removed from central Wyoming… but I still noticed a few things. Like this house. What’s the story? Somehow, these people wanted to shout their patriotism to everyone. I like the sentiment,…

Buy One
So, the dog owners were happy… Hustler seemed ready for Round Two immediately… Dally sent the confusing signs of “yes, I wanna” right along with “no way, Jose!” We took a little walk, discussing dogs and goats and livestock, hoping to let Dally wrap her little mind around what had happened and if it could…
Sex and the Country
(part two) So, I’d done the Matchmaker part… checking pedigrees and working ability and health, and looks! I now perched precariously upon her decision… like a Fiddler on the Roof. I had been Driving Miss Dally all the way to not-quite Valentine, Nebraska… So, Miss Dally, what do *you* think? He’s dark, he’s handsome… He’s…
Passing Inspection
I left Ten Sleep with one hope in mind… that after driving clear to the middle of Nebraska… Dally would stand for the mate I’d debated and agonized over! The cool thing about English Shepherd breeders, is that there aren’t many *out there*… and that makes for a small community where we know each other…
Significant Other
We’re baaaaaaa-aaaack! 974 miles according to Google maps round trip. Which is crazy. Thankfully, I broke it up into 2.5 days! I drove to Casper, spent the night with my brother and sister-in-law, drove to Nenzel, Nebraska… had our rendezvous… and returned to Casper… where I again spent the night and then came home today. Dally…
