It’s that time of year to break out the pysanky dye for eggs. I’ve already taught a class at the library. I’ve had four grandkids at various times start their own eggs. Of course, as I teach, I have to work on an egg myself… and then I HAVE to finish them… As I’m melting…
Identity Theft Again
We had twins! Most cows won’t take two calves, so we had a plan. We had a cow who lost her calf… so it was time for identity theft. First, Vernon gave the calf a much needed drink. Vernon prepares the hide of the dead calf to be wore by the twin. Baling twine will…

Springtime Song
Unsettled. That’s the usual weatherman description for our springtime and, boy, is that an accurate term! My trip to work was a perfect example.

Well Done
He might take off on a short run, chasing those irritating and noisy prairie dogs. But he’ll always keep an eye on me. When I move my CanAm, he’s there to jump in the back, ready to be by my side for any adventure. He’s patient. Well done, Bravo.
Assistance
We helped Daniel a bit with his huge project. Others chipped in some time as well. Daniel is installing a pivot, with an amazing array of pipe and angle iron and other pieces and 50,000 bolts and nuts. Jaxon had a pretty good grasp of what went where and how… and though we all managed…
Birds
Birds of all kinds have started to reappear…
