The wood box is filled. I have everything I need… wool slippers, wool blankets… down blankets… I imagine I will be warm! I hope you all stay warm out there! The coldest it’s been here lately was -16˚ a few days ago, far from the coldest I’ve seen it. It’s 10˚ now and falling with…
Occasion
Enjoy some more wildlife. You know, I think about this… how much wildlife sightings are just the norm for me… oh, there’s deer. and antelope. wild turkeys. maybe some sage chickens or chukars or pheasant and ducks and geese… I still get excited over elk! but, I see so many deer, etc., *every day* that…
Good Thing
I decided to go out with Vernon and Daniel and check the water in the badlands. The cows are out there right now, and all of their water tanks must be freed of ice. All owners that have cattle out there rotate this job, so it makes the work load easier. There also has been…
Someday
I hate it when I do this… I cannot find my camera ANYWHERE. How can I DO this????? Ugh. Pulled out an old one… I’m disgusted at the amount of dust on the interior of the lens… so I didn’t take any photos. The guys worked on a water line… always fun when it’s in…
Online
We’ve been enduring cold weather here… -16˚ at its worst. The temperatures that make the snow squeak, chickens stay in their coops, and my dogs lay in the snow comfortably. I know. My dogs just LOVE the cold weather! Strange creatures. My internet has been out since yesterday. I started and restarted, unplugged and plugged,…

Make Your Own Marshmallows
I know, I know, this isn’t a cooking blog… but I made these, and people seem to *really* like them… so I’m gonna share! Making your own marshmallows is EASY. First: sift together 1/4 C powdered sugar and 1/4 C corn starch. This is your “dust”… it keeps your marshmallows from sticking EVERYWHERE. This was…
Thanks
Whew. Lotsa work and tons to think about, but one more Silent Auction fundraiser is over. We had a great turnout. Thank you, Ten Sleep, for all you do for our little library.
Copper Fun
I ignored my house in order to finish up some copper jewelry for the library auction. I always have such high hopes of getting so many things made for the auction… This was all I accomplished today. Plus I tried to make some marshmallows… and I think I’ll try again in the morning! It’ll all…
Library Night
Monday night is our Open House/Silent Auction at the library. I’ve been decorating… trying to make that silk purse out of old Christmas decorations/sow’s ear. We have no budget for making things pretty… and so I tear into all of our boxes, remixing and modifying… and I chose our colors as green, white, and gold….

Calendar Lessons
Well, lesson learned. I didn’t keep promoting my little calendar contest… and also, I seemed to make it too hard as well! But you can’t change the rules afterwards, can you? Nevertheless, I’d like to thank those who *did* read and follow the rules, which were: *go to my calendar, and check out the photo…
