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…
Ukrainian Pysanky
I hope you got the memo. Pysanky Class tomorrow at the library! Yes, Easter will be here before you know it and you better start melting that beeswax! There’s nothing like the sweet smell of beeswax to get you in that Easter-ish mood! I had planned to film my vlog answers for you… but the…
Dirt Bag
So… I found out that you can paint with Red Dirt. I found out I needed to improve my artistry… perhaps profiles would be easier? I really really really wanted, though, to have my three dogs on a canvas bag. I use canvas bags all the time… or recycled feed bags. 😉 So, I gave…
Red Dirt Medium
Well, I was going to answer your good wishes one by one, but evidently GoDaddy and I are on different pages at the moment. To each of you that sent well wishes, thank you! It is just a head cold… and orange juice and neti pots and hot baths seem to be working… Let’s return…
T-zer
If you’ve been here any amount of time… You know I love Red Dirt! I named my book and my blog, Red Dirt In My Soul. But, not only is Red Dirt in my soul… it is also… in my laundry. Yeah. Good ol’ red dirt. It stays in laundry Very Well. So well, in…
Bag It 2!
In Bag It! I showed you how to cut out a feed sack in anticipation of making a fun shopping bag. Then, I ran into J., who showed me a quicker and easier way instead of what I WAS doing. I’ll show you both ways… and hopefully, you won’t get too confused. Go ahead and…
Only Fair
I rolled out this morning to help Vernon again. But this time there was a different twist, for it’s my Bountiful Basket morning… meaning our food co-op was delivering. I had to disappoint my dogs, telling them, “No. Stay in the yard.” What disappointed looks! I drove my Durango to help feed, then took off…
