Upon the Ground
The gate post was wrapped in smooth wire. The barbed version was saved for the gate and connected fence. Tacked with fence staples was an decrepit sign, illegible due to occasional rain, fiercely driven snow, and brutal wind that sandblasted the words into the cosmos. Although this day was respectable, she’d met each variety of…
Definitely A Blessing
The past three days, I’ve had a visitor. While I’ve had to dress up and work at the Ten Sleep Library, my visitor has donned work clothes, gloves, and air mask… and he’s shoveled out my chicken coop/studio! YAYYYYYYY! My sweet sweet nephew, R., came up on his way to Billings and has sweated and…
Notable Accomplishment
Honestly, I don’t do too much when I have company… A few meals… Some diapers… You know? But while sitting around visiting, letting the kids listen and watch to “Smule”, I found another neato app for my iPad. (Of course, neato and iPad, are of the same generation of vocabulary, right?) It’s called Notability… and…
Fresh Air Partners
The storm yesterday did wonders… The brilliant blue sky that is one of the hallmarks of Wyoming has returned! The varied pageantry of clouds fluffed and scurried and skimmed and floated… just like old times. For today, there was no dreaded smoke, no haze to dampen spirits. Ah, *this* is Wyoming, “Where the air is…
Wowza
I’m taking the easy way out tonight, because of this. Supposedly a spider bite. This started last week, and predictably, got worse over the weekend. Thank goodness my doctor said just come in when I called him! So I’m sitting with my foot elevated like I’m supposed to, and I chose to blog through my…
Minute Movie: Moose!
Vernon and I went to Deer Haven Lodge last night for our anniversary dinner. The New York Strip was excellent… well, it all was, even the salad! Instead of heading straight home, Vernon decided to take a drive up to West Ten Sleep Lake… a popular campground. Evening was falling and the scent of rain…
Wordless Wednesday – “The Crew”
For Wordless Wednesday this week… The crew from last week’s cattle drive takes a short break after letting the cows into the new pasture. **** August 15, 2011 Minute Movie : Bull Fight August 15, 2010 Come True August 15, 2009 Saturday Rain Moments(Joy, this one’s for you) August 15, 2008 No entry.
Surround Yourself
Yesterday, a woman and her husband stopped in… Someone who had worked on this place back when it belonged to the former owner… Back when our children were little, babies, and being born… Back when I was SO SO SO happy to have people MY AGE finally around the “neighborhood”. Back when we were learning…
Looking Happy
Wow, guys, Amazing Job with The Game yesterday! I thought you all showed great imagination! We need to finish this story! What’s coming through the fog???? Big Thanks to Belle, Patr, Joy, Dana, Ketra, Terry, and Cammy for joining in! That was FUN! **** Daylight found us on our way up the mountain. It was…
Sad Tale
First, I’d like to say “HI!” to any new readers out there in Blogland. This weekend is BlogHer ’12 in New York City. Since I managed to be chosen as one of their Voice of the Year (visual) winners, more than a few people might see my name/blog for the first time! Welcome to Wyoming!…
