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…

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…
This x 4

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 …
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.
Titanic Event
I had so much fun tonight! Yes, I know 1522+/- died… And we honored them…. But my Titanic Event night was just full of trivia and fun and interest and laughter and tea and scones and movies and documentaries and books and tickets and an awesome gangway and a hilarious photo op and spitting contest…
What Is It?
So, the plan was… pick up *another* new toy this evening… but wires were crossed and tractors blew hydraulic hoses and my muscles have their limits… so I’ve made it home without my new toy. Rats. But I know you’re gonna love this one, because it had me doing the Snoopy Happy Dance! Since I…
Family Tree
Not long ago, I shared the beginnings of an undertaking with you… in As Time Goes By. It is my version of the Pinterest project usually called “painted family tree” or some such title. Like I said earlier, this is an ongoing job, as our family grows… so will these photo walls. I’m looking for…
As Time Goes By
Boy. It’s difficult to blog without my camera anymore. *I* was ready for my dog walk/heifer checking/craftiness today… but I had a DEAD camera. Absolutely lifeless. No AED was gonna revive it. Sure, I had other cameras AT HOME… but that didn’t help out with today’s events. I listlessly plugged it into the wall on…
Minute Movie : “Big Country”
Ha. I made it out there. Vernon really wasn’t too concerned about leaving the pickup and horsetrailer out in the Badlands… but I volunteered to go along and bring it home anyway! I could have stayed home, I think, fairly easily… but it just doesn’t seem right! There were plenty of neighbors riding… and John,…
Vintage Grand Lady
Remember the Grand Lady? How she made the trip from the root cellar to my house… perhaps reclaiming a corner she once knew? And I put her in a fancy dress and touched up her makeup… and surrounded her with glitter? Well… she enjoyed the holidays… but it was time to get back to reality….
