Hmmm. On yesterday’s entry, I saw 7 comments… figured I was spammed! But, no! You were nice enough, once again, to encourage me, this time to write another kids’ book! Something with a ranch twist to it, instead of a dairy “feel”. Well, I have done that once… That’s how this blog turned into Red…

Pet Peeve #532
Pet peeve #532. So fifty feet away from Quinlan and I, is a corral full of commercial Angus… and I have to read a “farm” book to my grandson where all the cows are spotted. Please, someone write a kid’s book where there are BEEF cattle represented! Sigh. **** September 16, 2011 Eggs and Tomatoes…

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…
