Continuing from yesterday… It’s funny, my sister went with me to Born in A Barn, and she came away with her fifth handwoven rug from the same lady and I came away with another necklace from Debbie. We decided most of the other booths were just “filler”! We just needed to see our favorite ones….
Born In a Barn Time
Another grand time at my favorite craft/repurpose/upcycle/creative show! It was absolutely gorgeous weather… a grand drive over the beautiful Big Horn Mountains.. a quick stop at my favorite stone chapel in Ucross… Then the final leg of the trip, snaking through the rolling hills on the back road, to Born in A Barn. You can…
Wednesday Work
Oh, goodness! I don’t know why, but things just keep getting scheduled on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and, once again, I missed working on the mountain because I had to work at the library. Megan was generous enough to share some photos with me though, so you don’t have to miss out. They gathered the heifers…
#TBT: Minute Movie: Elk Bugling on the Bar C, v.2.0
This was first posted September 18, 2012. Yes, there used to be a video but it was dropped in my move from Vimeo to YouTube. The breeze lifted the eerie, beautiful sound to Panama’s ears. He halted, unsure. His nostrils flared, and every muscle was gathered. Should he run? Ears intently forward, his eyes peered…

Outdoor Experience
Well, I had told myself I would do something *outside* today. This was not what I had in mind. Brandon and Megan were going to Worland to buy straw for our calving shed and I would hitch a ride if they would stop at the grocery store’s case lot sale. With four of us working,…
Uh. Nothing.
My day was spent as organizer for my basement… adding more tubs to underneath my newest tall bed… pitching and sorting plastic containers… shuffling newer foodstuffs to the back of shelf to make way for the new if I get to town for the case lot sale… JUST ALL SORTS OF EXCITEMENT. I found out:…
Testing, Testing
My sister makes many food items from her garden produce. She makes mead and wine and salsa and frozen vegetables. She dehydrates. She cans. She makes fruit leather and jelly. I think most of all though, she loves to ferment food. I had to taste fermented salsa last time I visited! Today I joined in…
Special Day
Daniel and Brandon searched and found three wayward heifers. Vernon doctored a couple of sick calves. Victoria and I did household chores, mainly dishes after feeding everyone homemade pizza last night! Then this… Jaxon’s first home football game. As a fifth grader, he looks tiny next to some eighth graders! He loves the game, though,…
Great Thing
We’ve been interested in small shed/cabins for a while, driving here and there on rainy days to check them out. Our neighbors on the mountain are logging a patch of trees and the logging trucks drive through a corner of our pasture. We found out the logger has built a few little cabins over the…
#TBT: Definitely A Blessing, v.2.0
This was first posted September 7, 2012. It’s so fun to see how far the studio has come! The past three days, I’ve had a visitor. While I’ve had to dress up and work at the Ten Sleep Library, my visitor has donned work clothes, gloves, and air mask… and he’s shoveled out my chicken…
Wordless Wednesday: Ready for Winter
Here’s a challenge! For a jigsaw puzzle of this woodpile, go HERE. And, no, it’s not mine!
