I saw on Twitter the other day, someone was going to pass out at an ag conference the bumper sticker/vinyl cling that claimed: I’M HOT. I’M DIRTY. I FARM. It made me giggle. Well, today I came up with my own version. I’M HOT. I’M SWEATY. I’M STICKY. I CAN. Can. As in canning… preserving……

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,…
Dee-lish
Here’s my last photo of Tully… And one of the last of Chabot… Can you tell they’re really stressed out about going to their new homes??? Yeah. NOT. Then… let’s go back to yesterday… and that tomato hornworm??? Bleh. This is why I’m not a fan, though I’ll grant you the Hawk Moth is attractive……
Yuk
So Tully was handed off this morning… and I enjoyed myself in Buffalo, Wyoming… and now I’m headed out for some Perseid watching… but I thought I’d share this! Look what disgusting critter has attacked my garden! YUK! (It’s a tomato hornworm…) **** August 11, 2011 Shopping in Wyoming August 11, 2010 Wordless Wednesday –…
Cute Accessories
I’ve managed a few days work in my studio… Remember that project? I don’t touch it for weeks, then get a few days of productivity! The electricity has been installed. I’ve filled some hard to reach gaps with foam insulation. I’ve torn down the top row of chicken nest boxes. They were tipping forward and …
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…

Good Dirt
I have done it. I finally have a garden spot built! The garden isn’t IN, mind you… but the place is there! We still had frost this morning, so the pressure isn’t on quite yet. I’d love to have a few things in the ground like potatoes and onions… and I’ll accomplish that soon. But…
Eating My Words
Yesterday, I said this: ” My plans for a heritage garden have evaporated, and I’ll have to buy some Early Girls in town. I’m sure they won’t have Cherokee Purple tomatoes in Worland! “ So… I shoot to town this morning with a gigantic list. The second place I stop is our little Pamida store. Although I…
Small Improvement
While today remained overcast, at least the wind wasn’t blowing! I jumped on this project because it’s a No Wind Necessary Project. I painted the little windmill in my front yard. We went from this: Note the rust… and the off white flower pot below it… Sage green legs and a brown flower pot… Some…
The Titanic Event in Pictures
The lifeboat. The awesome gangway. King of the World! King of the Wha? The Iceberg. First Class place settings… too bad the scones hadn’t arrived yet! They were tasty! Second Class place setting. Steerage place setting. The prizes. A moment of silence.
