I hope you had a wonderful Easter! I hope you enjoyed the simple things… (Quinlan applauds the Easter pinwheel) Or perhaps, discovered something new… (Quinlan chasing soap bubbles) At the very least, I hope you spent time with your family… (Johnny visits with Jaxon, his great grandson) **** As a quick aside… I’d really like…

Silk Tie Easter Eggs
For those of you procrastinators… who haven’t dyed your Easter eggs and really… that means you’re LATE… and you insist you aren’t the Crafty Type and therefore totally ignored my earlier posts about the fine Easter egg art known as Pysanky… Here’s my quick and easy How To Dye With Silk Ties Tutorial! Dig out…
By Jove
Here they come. Me and my partner blocked this road and forced them uphill on the other road. We did well, even though my partner slept through most of it. Yup. We did good. They’re headed the right way now! We kept the heifers from joining the party by moving them two fences away… By…
Bond. Just Bond!
I traipsed around after the guys the other afternoon… shocked to find that only 5 miles down the road, they didn’t have snow! Somehow, I always think if I have snow… everyone has snow… You’d think I’d learn. We live just over the divide, and it frequently starts snowing within 3 miles of home. Anyway,…
Wordless Wednesday – “Lookin’ Like Momma”
For this Wordless Wednesday… this calf sure looks like her momma.
Soap Stones
Boy. It’s been a LOOONG time since I set up anything in my store… and I hope I did it right… but they are there! SOAP STONES ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Soap and washcloth in one! Great for toddlers (especially in Ivory Soap, it floats!), comfortable for arthritic hands, and the exfoliating action works for faces…
Frustration for the Optimist
Mercy, mercy, what a total day of frustration! iPhoto still was not working this morning, so I rebuilt it as the instructions said to do, and everything looks fine. However, it continued to spin along, going through all my photos organizing faces… which is rather Big Brother-ish, but I let it do its thing, and…
Philosophical
After working on some photos to see if I could make a new header… and I did! What do you think? I somehow got the great idea to update my iPhoto. Photostream is handy… another tweak or two for my photos would be great… newer, better, whatever… Now I can’t get iPhoto to open. At…
Nobunny
It’s snowed the past two days… and all that wonderful dirt/mud/tiny green grass that was appearing is now well under 5″ of wet wet snow. There was more accumulation, but it has condensed! This is great news for the grass that will grow this spring… and the runoff has filled many reservoirs in the badlands…
Minute Movie: “Her First Minutes”
This Minute Movie is taken probably two minutes after the calf hit the ground… although I edited it so you wouldn’t see my jerky video as I walked around her to get a better perspective, this really was just the first few minutes of our newest 051! Unbelievably, the calf does get dry with just…
Headstand
My goal was for an early bedtime, so, no, I’m not staying up waiting for Vimeo to finish doing whatever they have to do to my videos! But tomorrow you are in for a treat! On my way home from work, I stopped off at the shop, having seen Vernon’s pickup there. Four wheeler tracks…
Wordless Wednesday – “The Green Grows”
For Wordless Wednesday… the green grows ‘neath the vanishing snows…
