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,…
Wordless Wednesday – “Photobombed”
My scenic creek shot was photobombed repeatedly by a rather large black panther named “Moo”.
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…
Wordless Wednesday – “Didn’t Make the Cut”
Although I liked this pic, she didn’t make the cut into the 2017 Red Dirt calendar… (and, no, she’s not ours) <click on the box below to complete a jigsaw puzzle of the above image> Cold Longhorn
Wreath
Spent most of the day creating the Friends of the Library wreath for our local Festival of Trees this weekend. It was cold and WINDY outside, so I was perfectly content to hang out, decorate, and keep an eye on Miss Phryne Fisher… that’s Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries on Netflix. Victoria told me about this…
Survivors
Yeah… a little romantic prose and then… the stomach flu hits us and we all feel just… peachy. I’m finally back to normal tonight, but behind in everything. Another photo to pass the time… We are survivors around here! A nice whitetail buck wouldn’t pose for me… he’s safe for this year. This is about…
