His blocks came in a little blue zippered bag with a “J” on it. I do believe he liked them. Too many things and people, so they didn’t get investigated fully… but I took this as meaning he was interested! Happy Birthday, Jaxon! I’d say it was was a successful present!

Puzzle Blocks
Little Jaxon will have his second birthday party tomorrow. Today I worked on one of his presents. Puzzle blocks. They turned out so well, I have to share! I cruised through my stash of Little Golden Books… and I found Wiggles. Published in 1954. The book is older than I am! But it had a…
Wear Some Clothes Today, Eh?
“Wear some clothes today, eh?” was the recommendation of my husband this morning. Before your imagination runs amok, it was his way of telling Victoria and I that it was cold outside and that warm clothing was the order of the day. So, layered up with fleece-lined jeans and chinks, t-shirt, flannel shirt, sweatshirt, gloves,…
Happy Halloween!

Close to the Action
That time of year again… when the Good Doctor spends an entire day with his hand and arm being squeezed by the strong muscles of a cow’s ending digestive tract. That explains why his entire left side is green by the time he’s done. With their calves weaned already, there was much less bawling and…
Three Years
Well, I caught the cold everyone’s been passing around, so I was miserable today. I’m not thrilled, this week is going to be busy and I’d prefer to be able to BREATHE. Nevertheless, it was a Big Day, as grandson #1 turned three! Those three years passed very fast! He had a great cake and…
Ranch Kids Rule!
Daniel and Vernon were working on a pipeline… Tess and the kids stopped by to watch… I stopped by on my way home from the library… It looked like a party! There stood little Jaxon, next to a well head. This well has some issues… a little water comes out the spigot, then it creates…
Salsify Fun
And back on the ranch… Another bunch gets moved up to the Mesa Pasture… the difference this time? Victoria AND Matt wanted to ride, so that left me behind in the company of twins… Never to be left too far behind, I threw them in the Durango and followed the dusty trail. We arrived just…
Next Year’s Rodeo
Back in the day… my kids attended Ten Sleep’s little kids’ rodeo. Held for just local kids, this rodeo was the first and only experience at being *in* a rodeo for most! I used to help a little bit in the arena, one time Really Overheating, as I recall… because next to the 4th of…
“Red Hills Set Me Free”
I just have to share this… Sage is related to me… and recently spent a few days camping with various relatives a couple of miles from here. Her mom reads this blog, and after they were home, shared it with her. Well, Sage disappeared after viewing my blog and later re-emerged from her room with…
Mighty Comfortable
On rare occasions, I get to play like a Real Photographer… except I don’t have fancy backdrops, or extra lighting, or unique props. All I do is take enough photos that luck helps me out… and I get a few good ones. Welcome, Lacee, you’re a joy to all your family! And, my…
