Last night, Victoria and her boys had come to visit, and as Toria and I stayed up late talking, I leaned back in my recliner and Pop! Suddenly, my decorative lights went out. “What did you do?” she asked? Come to find out, when I leaned back, an electrical cord got sliced in half by…
#TBT: In The Mood for Babies, v.2.0
This was first posted February 24, 2011. Well, we have babies! Two as a matter of fact! No pictures simply because I wasn’t told about them until after 6 pm when Vernon arrived home for supper. Honestly, I was at the Master Cattleman class again so I wouldn’t have been around anyway… We’ll see if…
Wordless Wednesday: “Foggy Bottom”

Helping Hand
Clouds nestled down on top of us this morning, the grey sky dropping more snow, the wind staying at a whisper, the temperature frigid. My chickens were left locked in their warm coop. I made my way to Megan’s house to apply another coat of poly on the sunflower table. The sudden call of a…
Cold and Crafts
The temperature has been in the single digits most of the day, with snowfall of about 3”. Right now, we’re setting at -3 with a 3 mile per hour wind. I’ll certainly take it over the 99 mph wind gust measured down along I-25 today! Tomorrow’s high is supposed to be 3. Definitely not pleasant….
3, 2, 1, Action!
Years ago, we did it. And, no surprise to me, I blogged about it HERE. (One of the best things about blogging for so long… I can go back and read my entries and get a kick out of my own stories!) But that was years ago. While it worked well for a few seasons,…
Last Class
The last class for Ledger Art Tradition was held today. Next Saturday will be our artist reception. Today, I chose to draw Vernon’s grandmother. This has always been a favorite of mine. I chose to draw her on some vintage 1933 letter paper. I also included a 1936 check to “Our Selves” for $5.00 and…
A Bit More
As calving season creeps closer, we keep an even closer eye on the weather if that’s possible. We should have been calving in January as nice as the weather has been. This last snowstorm was predicted to be either 1”-3” or 3”-5” depending on which weather app you wanted to believe. Thursday morning I measured…
#TBT: Happy With It, v.2.0
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…
Wordless Wednesday: “Partner”

Ranch Living Video
This short video tells of middle school basketball games with the grands, some alcohol ink crafting, our young bulls, an amazing sun pillar, Bravo reenacting Lucas’ award winning photo, and a short walk through the fields. Not a long video… but life is quiet here for now.
Deception
I have two hens that are broody… claiming eggs, setting, pecking me when I steal them from under their warm feather bellies. Since both of my roosters met their fate a month or more ago, I kept trying to explain to the hens that being broody was simply a waste of time. Neither believed me….
