About Winter…
Pop the cork on the champagne, I’m done with the tile in the bathroom! Well… I grouted today… there’s caulking to do… and the rest of the bathroom… But I am willing to celebrate NOW!!! Grouting was interesting… but I was happy with the way it turned out. It’s the one detail where I went…
It’s… Green!
Well, the snow hasn’t hit yet, and the Riverton Weather radar is down… so I don’t have precision radar… but I guess it is due sometime tonight. Yecch. After riding yesterday BY MYSELF IN GORGEOUS WEATHER WITH JUST DALLY (and some ornery 3 year old cows)… snow and low temps will be hard to adjust…
Questions and Answers – November Edition
It’s the November edition of “Question and Answers”! As usual, you came up with some good questions… let’s get to ’em. Did I ever tell you that my Taffy and your Lucas are related (through their Grandpa, Sparkplug)? Marilyn Marilyn, I think I knew that at one time… Sparkplug threw good looking genes through Boston…
A New Craft Support Group
Seems like there’s a rush going on… Snow and highs in the low 40’s are predicted for next week… So we’re busy putting up, cleaning up, fixing up what we don’t want to get frozen or too wet. Vernon headed to the badlands to repair a tank that was leaking… and he didn’t seem to…
Makeover
The guys did “clean-up” today… Reriding the pasture… Looking for the few head we were short. One wild cow had jumped into the neighbor’s and they were nice enough to bring her home. They covered lots of country and found three lone heifers down in the cedars. It’s easy to see how you can overlook…
Sunshine and Twilight
Yesterday and today were Cowboy Days. I like these days. It’s quiet. It’s relatively easy since the cows know where to go. It’s fairly easy on the dogs since cows don’t hardly fight without their calves by their side. I can move a big bunch by myself – which I enjoy immensely – so long…
Wordless Wednesday – “Ready to Disappear into the Willows”
A fleeting glimpse of a whitetail doe and twin fawns who are ready to disappear into the willows again… Happy Birthday to Victoria… I love you! Leave questions in the comment section… answered Sunday. ********************************************************************************** November 3, 2009 What Tomorrow Brings
We’re Set
I spent the morning trying to create some crafts. I’ve joined up with the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library for a fun little project. I did it years ago when I worked at the library… it’s called The Festival of Trees. Organizations decorate a Christmas tree or wreath… Businesses bid on them and display…
Heaven Forbid!
Honestly. If I buy 48# of cucumbers again… please shoot me. After making applesauce with friends until 11 pm one night, I spent the next day making sweet pickle relish. Eleven pints. Can I really use eleven pints in a year? That’s lots of hot dogs and potato salad and tuna salad… I then ran…
Lost Three
When I said I made gallons of applesauce last night I was *not* exaggerating! The Pepsi’s for scale. They’re big pots. They’re full. Well, pretty much. 23 quarts and 7 pints for Johnny! Today I moved on to sweet pickle relish. I’ve run out of onions and green peppers, so I’ll probably have to switch…
Ready to Quit
I had to go to town today… again. Sheesh. Seems like I just went! I made a day of it, picking up my Food Co-op Basket. Grabbing a bagel and chai at our little local bakery. Heading to the post office to mail my watercolors and some gifts. Meeting friends and their dogs… I didn’t…
