I knew I was missing it, but it’s difficult to celebrate when you don’t feel the best. I’m on the mend, just need to kick this cough out of my lungs. I do feel well enough to write, though, so HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY TO ME! I’ve just rambled through my blog anniversary posts from past years……
Panorama
Vernon shared this gorgeous panoramic shot with me the other day. I think you can click on it and zoom to see the big country I live in.
Vegetative
Lorelei and I commiserated with our stuffy noses and coughs today while Quinlan and parents went to a basketball game and Vernon and Daniel snowmobiled to the top of the mountain. She started to feel better and sat and watched tv in this position for over half an hour. I used to be able to…
Play Time
With days of bad weather and babysitting and “me time”, my stash of crafts has grown. I’ve been on an alcohol ink kick lately. The trouble I’ve faced is how to seal the ink. I’d made quite a few and knew they weren’t dishwasher safe. And I also didn’t like the way the acrylic spray…
#TBT: Whisper of Hay Dust, v.2.0
This was first posted January 22, 2012. Hay dust filters through the sunlight, drifting in lazy circles until it settles back on wooden edges. Ancient grain, a pile of manure (well-aged), mice scent, and dried out leather add to the ambience as I wonder at the memories held in these log walls. Memories that don’t…
Wordless Wednesday: Trailing Towards the Hidden Mountains
For a jigsaw puzzle of Megan’s photo, Trailing Toward the Hidden Mountains, go HERE. (Yes, they’re the Big Horns but you can’t see them because of FOG/SNOW/CLOUDS)
Good One
Tonight the library was to show the movie, Secondhand Lions, just to give the people of Ten Sleep something to do… watch a Great Movie, eat some popcorn and drink some hot chocolate (it’s beginning to snow again), and enjoy each other’s company. Well. It didn’t work out, and me (the projectionist) was the only…
Sorry, Bud
The little rain, rain, snow mix of the past twelve hours did make it slick, but as the afternoon wore on, the clouds continued their journey east, and the sun reappeared with a gentle glowing light. Time for me to stop my crafting and get outside! My brainless dog, Bravo, knows quite well how to…
Gathering Deadline
Today I was going to watch the grandkids while everyone else was going to gather the cows from the badlands. Jaxon was a bit under the weather, his mom keeping all of her kids home, so I ended up with only Lorelei. Quinlan had decided to cowboy. Lorelei and I began to tackle an old…
Expressions
There’s been a fair amount of shop work, aka maintenance, on various vehicles lately. Occasionally, I swing by to see what the guys are working on, and maybe pass them a wrench or socket. If they don’t seem to need help, I usually wander on quite quickly. Mechanical devices and I aren’t usually on the…
Beauty Update
I have a quick update on how I ended up arranging my big new sunburst cabinet. Remember this beauty? After a couple of trials of different ways to have the upper part become home to all of my tshirts… I went ahead and bought some shelving. Honestly, it couldn’t have fit any better! I’m very…
