Greetings Puzzle
Wordless Wednesday – “Greetings”
Greetings Puzzle
Helper
Yes, the plan was to share photos of the mountain with you, but, once again, cuteness wins out. I had a helper with that grape jelly today… and he can now accurately recount what it takes to make grape jelly. (although ‘pectin’ is kind of a tricky word) (and he wrote ‘Jaxon’ and ‘2017’ on…
Whoosh
Yes, this post is a little late… we came home last night, ate supper, sat down, and whoosh! That was about all she wrote. I was in bed early, and couldn’t even come close to keeping my eyes open long enough to post last night! I didn’t work near as hard as everyone else, but…
Discovery
I saw the snake as I bent down to move the wooden bench and instinct demanded a hurried step backwards. I complied. A double take reassured me it was a fake snake, tucked away in the leaves for some perverted amusement or simple childish pleasure, who knows? As my heartbeat slowed, I looked longer at…
It’s All About the Ears
We continue to check on our cattle, keeping an eye open for sickness, especially in calves. So, how do you tell if a calf is sick? It’s all about the ears. While calves’ ears don’t stand up like like a deer’s, there is definitely an upward tilt on a happy, sun-loving, grass-eating baby. If you…
Solar Eclipse Time Lapse
Yes, once again, #tbt is cancelled. I need to find more old photos! This is my time lapse video. It covers the entire eclipse, although I slowed it way down in the middle so you could actually SEE the eclipse. I purposefully did NOT include the sun in my frame as I wanted to show…
The Video: In Which I See Shadow Snakes
(Sorry… I’m watching the Horatio Hornblower series again… and my phrases are becoming very 18th Century…) So this is the video from my handheld camera which becomes painfully obvious quite quickly. Totality has just struck, in my enthusiasm I’ve punched the power button on and off TWICE. My DSLR which was to have chugged along…
What a Memory! (aka Total Solar Eclipse 2017)
Pull out the thesaurus and find some new, descriptive words. Stunning. Gorgeous. Fabulous. Awe-inspiring. Breathtaking. Wondrous. Moving. It was all of those and many more. The 2017 Wyoming Version of the Total Solar Eclipse was GREAT. Oh, sure, there were some glitches in my photography… my GoPro gave me some trouble… which is VERY FRUSTRATING…
Eclipse Preparations
Checklist for tomorrow… Cameras, tripods, water, chargers, eclipse glasses, solar filter, pinhole viewer, selfie cards, solar paper, water, food, schedule, hat, lawn chairs, shade, water, snacks, bubbles, white cardboard, water… I’ve double-checked the charge on my cameras, I’m taking three… I have extra glasses in case some child pokes a hole in theirs… I have…
Time Lapse: Checking Cows
We checked cows and spread salt today… and I made my third time lapse video. It is very jumpy and too fast (even though I slowed it down) but I believe you will get the context of our day. I’ve only one more day to practice before the eclipse! Argh! NOTE: Vimeo failed to convert…
