Here’s the video I made about my “After the Bell’s” garden tower. Over two days, the kids and I assembled, filled with dirt, and planted our tower. Of course, there’s been snow on the ground, so it hasn’t spent any time in the sunshine, but it is together… Our center compost tower has only a…
Brightening the Day
A cold, grey day… so I decided to brighten it up! Light switch covers… After I spray this with an acrylic coat, I’ll remove the bucking horse sticker, which will show white underneath. There is red, orange, and golden yellow paintbrush all on this mug…
#TBT: ”My Saddle Hurts”, v.2.0
This was first posted April 15, 2011. I’m paying for my winter of inactivity… ouchy. As we say out here… “My saddle hurts.” We sorted off some of our babies and their mommas and kicked them out onto green grass today… Three people. Three horses. Three dogs. I think we probably…

Snow
Well, we usually get an Easter storm… and I hope that this one counts as such. I awoke to this… and quickly decided that the guys might need someone to help haul baby calves to the warmth of the calving shed. I swiped off the 5 or so inches of snow on my Durango… lay…
Soil
Tonight I attended a soils class put on by our local agriculture educator, Caitlyn. Always full of stories and advice, Caitlyn is a great knowledge base for our county and state. We tested our own soil and learned or refreshed our memories and knowledge. I looked it up here in my archived blog posts and…
Psycho
Snow this morning. Wind. Clouds. Melting. Sunshine! Clouds. Sideways snow… Sunshine!! Since the day was being a wee bit psycho… I began dehydrating some eggs. I decided to dehydrate raw eggs, although some people choose to dehydrate scrambled eggs. Please do some research on your own if you decide to do this. There is a…
The Beat Goes On…
The nice weather the past few days have led me to outdoor work… clearing my garden of last year’s detritus (yesterday) and cleaning and reorganizing my root cellar (today). I’d definitely crawl into my hot tub, but at 39* and 6 mph breeze… it’s a bit chilly. I pushed myself to accomplish these much needed…
#TBT: Stockdog History, v.2.0
This was first posted April 9, 2011. Since it decided to rain today (starting off with a skiff of snow), Vernon did tractor work which left me to work on my house again. I’m getting my closets figured out and reorganized… pulling out a shelf here, adding it there, and moving the rods around. Repainting….
Wordless Wednesday: ”Cliff Face”

Eggs
I don’t know a great deal, but I do know that Avian Influenza has now been found in Wyoming. I need to do more research, but basically, it can cause illness and death in wild and domestic birds. Well. That’s not good. I rely quite a bit on my hens. If they end up catching…
