I’ve been meaning to share something I did a few weeks ago… One of my pet peeves is laundry detergent. Don’t ask me how I got this way, but it always seems to be a fight to find what I want for the price I want to pay. Unless I manage a 4 hour trip…

Questions and Answers – June 2011 Edition
It’s late and I’m just sitting down to do this… better get crackin’! Lou Anne wrote: Hi Carol, I was thinking about Dally trying to get in and be with Elsa’s puppies and not being accepted. Has Elsa shown any interest in the new puppies and if so, is Dally letting Grandma visit? …
The Puppy Coop Is Open
We start riding tomorrow, gathering cattle in the muddy badlands. That meant today was a deadline of sorts. One that separates me from all the new additions. There would be no one here to let Dally outside… and she’s had more than one accident inside as of late. She HAD to move outside, meaning puppies…

Wonderful! Nothing like a chance of winning to bring out the entries! Way to go! Let’s get to it! Taylor wrote: I have a couple questions. 1: Where did the name the Badlands come from? 2: I don’t know a lot about dog breeding. Might some of Dally’s puppies be sable, because of Elsa? Or will…
What Are the Odds?
The guys are happy here… they finally succeeded in getting some farming done. The fields were dry enough to let them get the tractors in without creating ruts or messing up the grass and alfalfa. I did some of my own outside work… that’s why I’ve just taken some Advil! This lawn is not near…

As the snow and rain begin to fall outside my window, I’ll sit here inside and enjoy answering your great questions! Taylor wrote: Someone may have already asked this, but how soon will you be able to tell if Dally is pregnant? So excited to see her puppies! Well, Taylor, if I took her to…
Whew.
Ha! I did it. My first pysanky completion of the year. The white is done, I’ve just covered the brown with wax… All dyed. With the wax melted off… Other side… white is finished and I’ve just covered the brown… All dyed… (very bad photo too… but realized it too late!) Wax all gone! View…
Other Muse
I’ve got the hankering for pysanky! After my classes… and a friend posting hers on facebook… and seeing my link for last year’s trypillian egg… That’s all I want to do is sit and smell that melted wax and create! Instead, today, I sorted and cleaned and painted and organized and…
Happy With It!
Here she was. And here she is… Complete. OK, Dori, I still haven’t installed your remote so the door can stay shut. Someday… I LOVE my “old” glass knobs I found. I’m pretty happy with it! **** February 19, 2010 Heifer Check, Check? Right… February 19, 2009 More Preparations February 19, 2008 …
Smiling Here
OK. This curtain thing is gonna kill me. Vernon would live in a cave… I want lots of light and visibility. How do you blend those two desires into one? Well, I’m trying some dark chocolate lined curtains with sheers in between. I had hoped to be able to pull them to the outside of…
New Addition
No, it’s not a new calf… we still have a few weeks before that happens… Remember my Indian Room? the first room completed (still no curtains and the baseboard needs finished but done enough!) out of my entire house? Well, I had a gap next to my desk… and a TON of books on Indians…
Happy Blogoversary to Me!
Yup. It’s true. January 20, 2008, I began this blog! After following some blogs out there… and having people question me about my life through my Rimrock English Shepherds website… I hemmed and hawed and bit my fingernails and kicked some dirt and stuck my hands in my pockets. “Yeah, OK. I can do this.” After…
