If I don’t get a project finished during the winter months… it’s probably not going to get done over the summer! At least those *hand-did* gifts… Like this one… Last year, Victoria found me the cutest Roy Rogers fabric while shopping for her twins’ quilt fabric. I was just going to put the two back…

Highlights
Getting organized for Thanksgiving, including cleaning and straightening up my house, occupied most of my day. Unknown to me, the guys moved the heifers from one field to another. Had I known, I would have helped… and of course, taken photos for you! As it was, the most excitement I saw was my washing machine! …
Ta-da!
This morning greeted me with this view… I made this up for tonight’s activity… Same with this one… Ta- da! **** October 6, 2011 Good Timing October 6, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – Sunshine Flows Into Trees October 6, 2009 Randomness and Cruisin’ October 6, 2008 Teach Me, Dally
Many Blessings
While ranch work consumes the guys, as usual, and I march off to my day job at the library, bits and pieces of blessings flow around us. First, remember these, my Red Dirt shirts I made to benefit the Washakie County Library Endowment? They were sold at a silent auction fundraiser. The characters of Henry…

From Rags to…
Well, maybe… Maybe… If I could REALLY make it through a day where I could sit on the couch and do NOTHING else, I could either finish that dastardly baby quilt, or the new project… my rag rug. I know… the babies are almost a year old… but the quilt is a use-at-grandma’s-house-only quilt anyway……
Right Place
I’m going to repeat myself. Because I talked about these years ago… but when J. showed up the other day, and brought me two new ones… I just HAVE to mention them again, they’re just so cool! This is what I’m talking about… First, “Welcome, Friends” Then, “Cowboy Wisdom” She just photographs vintage farm tools,…
Longmire
Just as I was sitting down to post tonight’s Longmire Baskets for the Washakie County Library Endowment Silent Auction… ka-boom! Lightning and thunder and minimal rain… which quickly meant, once again… FIRE. My guys grabbed their Nomex and the Fire Truck, and off they went. I manned the phone, calling neighbors, the county grader, and…
Another One
If you think I’m talking fire… well, yes. My guys were out until 3 am, fighting fire in a steep and rocky canyon. This time things went perfectly and they hit it hard and fast, and kept it to less than 30 acres! Score! Beats 4,000! Thunderstorms continue to swirl around… which means I’m on…
The Easter Egg
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 make you a pysanky video for your…
Red Dirt Shirts
I tried this earlier… on a tshirt for a friend, then on a canvas bag. Remember those Dirt Bags? I wasn’t happy. So I had to try again. I went and bought just a men’s white tshirt. I threw some mud at it and look what happened! (before washing it…) Now I’m wishing I’d bought…
Awesome, Girls
Wyoming felt the need to celebrate the spring equinox with a snowstorm, so once again, my world was white! How quickly we become used to 60 degree weather and the return to the 30’s is a painful one. It was a wet snow, and our mud that went to dust is now mud again… but…
