Bird Beads
Some time ago, I saw something on the internet. It sounded intriguing. The idea is for your chicken coop. Often, I will find small birds in my coop. Sparrows. Chickadees. They hop in the open door to help themselves to my chicken feed. Pooping. And with the avian flu… they could possibly be carriers. Keeping…
Freezing in the Past
With the snow and fog and cold temperatures, (-14* this morning), Vernon was talking about how glad he was to not have to pitch hay from a bouncing hay trailer anymore. I agreed. Granted, I didn’t do it as much as he has, but I did my time… and I wondered if I had an…
Brands

Winter Finally
It has definitely turned into winter finally. Small storms have been rolling through, dropping an inch or two and blowing the snow around. With the 15th approaching, that’s the deadline for our BLM allotment. We pay to use the grass until then but that’s dependent on weather and whether the grass isn’t covered by snow….

The following is part of the papers in the Oscar Hoback collection as collected by Edna Greet. With this entry, we will leave Oscar Hoback behind unless I can dig up his letters from the Spanish American War. I have a new set of historical stories to share in the coming weeks! The war then commenced….

I was so excited about the grand opening of Ten Sleep School yesterday, I forgot it was Thursday. Here’s my Throwback Thursday post on Friday! This was first posted January 12, 2015. So, I wander from house to studio… Draw a little… Repair a chair… decide I need some great sandpaper to get those corners…
