I decided at the last minute to run down to our other place and see if the elk were in the field. They’ve been coming in lately, and I’d seen them last night. It seems when the alfalfa gets frozen, the wildlife really hit the fields! Since we’ve been down to 20º, I saw just…

Looking For Ideas
Not too much to report on for today… Cleaning… Cooking lunch for some relatives in town for a memorial service… Catching up on other household duties since I was gone for three days… Finally, I got a chance to head out to the studio. The radial saw has disappeared again… so I switched back to…
Half Moon

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…
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…
We Amaze Me
Gee, Carol, how many horses can you fit into your horse trailer? Well, today, obviously a few more than the six we usually squeeze in there! OK. I’ll say it first. You might be a redneck if… Instead of getting a car hauler, you decide you can fit a Ford Ranger into your 16′ horse…

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……

The Pits
I’m tired. Twenty pounds of peaches and a crock of pickles and supper for eight. Only a half cleaned house, but oh, well. I’m calling it good for this evening… my back is sore and it’s the pits! **** August 24, 2011 Wordless Wednesday – “Lone Stalk” August 24, 2010 Big Cedar Ridge August 24,…

The final haul of Whitney Crabs… though the few left over will become dessert soon… Love the color and clarity between the regular jelly, caramel jelly, and apple butter! **** August 21, 2011 Minute Movie: “Fishing AKA Bringing Home Supper” August 21, 2010 ‘Ear, ‘Ear!
