Well, my little project started about a year ago, when I bought the landscape bricks on sale. It was too late in the year for yard work and then all summer I’ve looked at the pile and kept thinking “someday”. Well, “someday” finally came along and I set the bricks under one of my big…

Done With That Project
It’s only been a few days… but the guys finished up the new stackyard fence today. They were hanging the last gate as I arrived to take this photo. Six feet tall with woven wire to deter deer and other wildlife… half the size it was… with two metal gates. (and phenomenally straight lines!) Done…
Stackyard
The guys are working on a project. Since, I guess, the beginning of Greet Ranch, you’ve been met with a haystack as you drive into our place. It’s also become the repository of some old equipment and a humongous pile of used baling twine and the rotting corpses of old straw bales. Since the fence…
Completed
Completed. And for those of you who HAVEN’T read my blog since I started this studio in 2009… Go HERE and see what my studio USED to look like. I’m actually astonished and I did most of the work! Now, hey… there’s some more painting to do… and right now it needs some serious air…
Barn Tunnel
Tess and I spent this cool morning working in the barn… While Tess sorted through racks of bridles… I screwed some boards into place. What was an open area now has boards to funnel the bales to the appropriate spot on the floor and keep them from landing in our new walkway. It went from…
Mixup
OK. Today is Wednesday. Except I thought it was Thursday. I woke up, showered, dressed, and DROVE THE TWENTY MILES INTO WORK. I was EARLY. I was PROUD OF MYSELF. Then the other workers came in, and I realized… I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY. YEAH. Nothing like getting your day off to…
In Progress
With the arrival of August, Wyoming is hitting the Solar Eclipse Mania full bore. Every one is going crazy… there’s tshirts and warnings from first responder groups and people renting out spaces to park RVs. Vernon laughingly told me I should rent out my studio, even though we’re not in full totality here. I always…
Start Somewhere
Miss me? I worked late at our library’s astronomy program last night… We had a guest speaker with an 8″ Dobsonian telescope. Since one of those is on my When-I-win-the-lottery List, I *had* to hang around until late. No #tbt this week… but… In a form of #tbt… Megan and I attacked our barn tack…
Goofball
I can’t help it! I HAVE to show you the newest addition to my studio! This chair and couch have been stored for years… they aren’t anything very special… a wooden frame, fairly disgusting cushions. But I have kept my eyes open and sure enough… I found cushions I wanted. Some with just the right…
Studio Video
All right! You asked for it, you got it! Here’s the tour of my studio as it is… I’ve been working on this building since 2009, obviously not consistently! I have dubbed it Sundog Studio, partly because one of my very first posts EVER on this blog was about a sundog… and because of a…
Studio Update
I was recently asked about my studio again… and if I could give a tour… so I filmed three today! The first two were too long, with too many details, so I finally shortened it to about 5 minutes! I was ready to start working on the movie, when the Denver Broncos started playing and…
We Can
How so many things affect us as we grow… multiple friends, our communities, a world of activities… As life goes on, the multiple distractions are whittled down, baring those true friends, the support of your close circle around you, and those activities that are special. I’m reminded of this every year by the short visit…
