Tie Dye Double Duty

Posted on August 8, 2023

In between the rain storms the guys continue to work on projects… so strange to be a week into August and throw a light blanket on at night or sweatshirts during the day! The cool weather is supposed to stop tomorrow and the guys are anxious to get going on the second cutting of hay….

Wedding Present

Posted on July 7, 2023

I can share one of my latest alcohol ink creations now since the wedding is over… Congrats to A. and W.! This set of pitcher and salad bowl are decorated with the colors of a high plains summer… I know they’ve spent hours riding horses through the bunch grasses and yarrow I painted on these……

Poppies and Cornflowers

Posted on June 10, 2023

The idea of time lapse photography of the clouds and storms rolling in didn’t work today, as about 5 am, lightning and thunder started popping and the rain descended. All day it has rained off and on, giving us half an inch of moisture. It’s lifted and returned and come in waves and disappeared. I’m…

Braiding in the Rain

Posted on June 3, 2023

I had all five grandkids today while the crew finished up AI-ing the heifers. I did have some outdoor plans they were going to help with, but I woke to the wonderful sound of rain dripping off the roof. It continued to drizzle most of the day which kept us all inside except for a…

A Little Rain

Posted on May 26, 2023May 26, 2023

I hauled most of my craft items to the Ten Sleep Brewery this morning. I sold a few things… Then a friend and I decided to blow over the mountain to Buffalo and check out their greenhouse and buy some flowers for the library… Mission accomplished. Our idea to eat or shop a bit more…

Partner

Posted on April 7, 2023

Come to find out, Jaxon is not a fan of accompanying Tess when she gets her hair and nails done. I said he could come here. He saw that I had been working on some pysanky and asked if he could try. You bet! I’ve tried to get my family to do this with me,…

#TBT: The Easter Egg, v.2.0

Posted on April 6, 2023

This was first posted April 7, 2012. It’s been a busy couple of days, with kids and grandkids all here… But they’ve all left now. Silence reigns and a neglected English Shepherd lays at my feet! Easter Sunday just might be a smidge quiet. While they were here, I did, with Victoria’s help, manage to…

Tis the Season for Pysanky

Posted on April 3, 2023

The huge blizzard they predicted? It hit south of us but as of this evening, hasn’t made its appearance here. We were due to get most of it tomorrow, so I’ll see what I wake up to! The wind did blow all day and it was cold, so I sat down and pulled out my…

In Production

Posted on March 12, 2023

Finally. My arthritic hands can attest that I have braided a set of reins for each of my grandchildren with the completion of this set for Reagan. And don’t forget, I squeezed a set in there for Tess! I’ve also told Megan I’d make a set for her, but I may not get to it…

Aspen Love

Posted on March 5, 2023

My little Fire King mug was damaged by going through the dishwasher. These alcohol inks are hand wash only… so I removed what was left and started over. Aspen trees were on this before… and I love the look. My big, warm your hands in the morning, mug was also ruined. It took a razor…

Perfect

Posted on January 31, 2023January 31, 2023

After all my work on the studio, it’s just not available in the winter. A few small electric heaters and a wood cook stove still take time to warm it up. Supplies that can freeze just can’t be left there. Sitting down to work on a project for only half an hour here and there…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
