This was first posted September 9, 2010. My new toy…no, it’s not a Wii… (people tell me I should want one, but I don’t think so) no, it’s not a new iPod… (I’m very happy with my “ancient” gum stick iPod) no, it’s not an iPad… (though THAT is on my Big Wish List –…

Small Adventure
A day of small adventure… Trying to do some foraging, but everyone has beat us to it… oh, well… a small hike with small people for a little fun!
Ancient Grains
I went out with Daniel on August 21 to check one of our fields. We had raised and baled oat hay off of it. Oat hay is simply hay made from oats that have not matured and created the oat seed that we love to eat. Since it is cut like you mow your lawn,…

Under Wyoming Skies
It was soooooo horribly smokey today. All I had planned was a big giant grocery run to Worland, no scenic photos were taken. Good thing too, as visibility was the poorest I think I’ve ever seen. I stack all these smokey days against 1988 and the Yellowstone Fire. We had never seen the like, although…
Paradise
I have stayed up too late! Falling asleep and too tired… last photo of the day to keep everyone happy… just another day in Paradise.
