Step Stool Needed

Posted on September 27, 2022

All summer, I’ve had this project on my list. Finally! I admit, it doesn’t look like much, but it will help me be a bit more organized. I have run out of room in my basement to store things since I expanded my pantry. What needed to move was my Christmas decorations. We have plenty…

Eh, Not Bad

Posted on March 27, 2022March 27, 2022

Continuing my project from yesterday… My garden barrel has been measured, drilled, and sawed. Go HERE to see how that was done. Now begins the slower work of forming the cups that will hold each plant. I borrowed Vernon’s little propane torch. I heated the barrel in a slightly squished circle by my marked lines….

New Project

Posted on March 26, 2022March 26, 2022

I’ve been stumbling along through YouTube videos, lately fixated on garden ideas. Somewhere, this website popped up on my feed. It talked of an amazing garden tower and I became fascinated. This garden tower was the size of a fifty five gallon drum with various slotted cuts on it. Nothing too earth shattering, but there…

#TBT: Happy With It, v.2.0

Posted on February 17, 2022February 17, 2022

This was first posted February 19, 2011. As I’m finishing up a table, it’s great to look back and see how I did with my entertainment center upcycle. 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…

On The Edge of A Cliff

Posted on June 14, 2021June 14, 2021

As par for our summers… we actually HAVE been working on a water project. We’ve been up to our Mesa Pasture a few times, returning this afternoon as well. It was 99 degrees. Not a great day for manual labor… but we had the skid steer, so life was pretty nice despite the temperature. A…

Delivery

Posted on January 5, 2021January 5, 2021

Today we took delivery of two sheds. We’ve wanted to expand our calving shed and finally figured out that two custom sheds and some continuous fence, ought to give us some more room. Yes, we could have built them ourselves, but the time saved of buying them, seemed to be the best option. All we…

Corn Feeder

Posted on December 6, 2020December 6, 2020

We decided this winter we would feed ear corn to the cows for supplemental feed. To do that easily and in a timely manner, you need a corn feeder. This spring, when we went to the Black Hills Stock Show, Vernon checked out a couple of feeders, and decided they’d be easy enough to make….

Studio Tour Video

Posted on November 22, 2020November 22, 2020

Starting from VERY humble beginnings as an old chicken coop… My studio now is a haven for me. It’s quiet. I’ve put my stamp on everything out there… and I honestly could live in there quite easily. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen it, so here’s a tour for your Sunday video…

Thrilled

Posted on October 10, 2020October 10, 2020

As my eyes slam shut, I’ll tap out a few words then head for bed. We continued work on my porch today… with rafters… Roof… and my favorite… the old school bell is back! We’re not finished yet… the bell needs bolted, the uprights screwed in, the interior tongue and groove, and eventually, blue tin…

Knock On Wood

Posted on October 9, 2020October 9, 2020

After the first big snow when I moved into this house, I knew there had been a faulty design way back in 1952. The existing roofline allowed snow to plummet off the roof and pile in front of the door. To walk out some mornings, you had to put your shoulder to the screen door…

#TBT: Studio Beginnings, v.2.0

Posted on September 17, 2020September 17, 2020

Sometimes you forget how far you’ve actually come! My studio looks so much better now! This was first posted September 20, 2009. Here’s the south facing wall of my studio/aka the old chickenhouse… The windows are covered in chicken wire…with traces of plastic sheeting left wafting in the breeze…The tiny picket door needs a latch…

Fish Pond 1.5

Posted on May 30, 2020May 30, 2020

Well, I *was* going to finish it today… but somehow LIFE got in the way… My baby chicks arrived. ALIVE! Sixth birthday photos for Lacee. Mowing the lawn because well… lawn’s GROW… Fast moving storms around and about shut me down early. We didn’t get much rain here, but it rained and hailed south of…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on a Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherd, Bravo, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
