This was first posted March 12, 2016. Curious, since I taught a needle felting class tonight! Still doing the wool thing… I told myself to work on that video today… but instead I cleaned my house and actually cooked a decent meal and cleaned out the chicken coop and felted on a slipper. Somehow, the…
Wordless Wednesday: Patriotic View
For a jigsaw puzzle of my neighbor’s patriotic view, go HERE.
Spectacular
Out in the badlands, while Vernon worked on the pipeline, I investigated the remains of a homestead cabin. All the way out here… holy cow. I can’t imagine hauling a wagonload of lumber out here to build this cabin and shed. It’s not a homestead full of discarded remains… just this old stove. Maybe they…
Pretty Proud
I stole away two granddaughters for most of the day. I was ready to do more peg loom weaving, but the old sheets I’d ripped up were pink and tie dyed pastels, not exactly my color scheme. Two little girls approved though. First was tying the strings to the pegs. I demonstrated a row or…
Pit of Dreams
Vernon decided to try to work on finding the leak in the pipeline. I was to give him a head start as pulling his excavator out there would take a while. By the time I arrived, he’d torn up the ground, looking for the pipeline. It was ooey and gooey and looked like it could…
Sorta
Vernon asked for some help and I readily agreed. The weather was gorgeous and how could I pass it up? The object was to check the water in the badlands. All of our water tanks in our badlands allotments have their origin at this spring on private land. Johnny Greet and Ped Mills and others…
Lost Power
It was quite the topic of conversation today for most people out this way. “Did you lose power? Wasn’t it weird?” While losing power isn’t unusual, it’s normally a few flickers and then blackness. Twenty or thirty minutes and it’s back. No biggee. Our power company is great, but things happen. Last night, it began…
Wordless Wednesday: Formation Recreation
Bravo listens well and poses for me on this cool rock formation. For a jigsaw puzzle of our fun, go HERE.
Hello, Harold
Meet Harold. Or Derald. We weren’t really sure. Anyone remember the John Wayne movie Harold and Derald were in? Harold came from Victoria. Harold was my last rooster’s “brother”. Victoria ended up with three roosters last spring. Unfortunately, my rooster didn’t make it after his incident getting caught in my fence. She was thrilled to…
I Like It
Well, I didn’t take the “before” that I should have… just think yellow and rusty. Ugly. Uninspired. And it’s bugged me for years, so I finally did something about it. Primed. Blue handrail. Red steps. White steps. Blue sides. Finished! And I like it!
Money’s Worth
Victoria was here and we went on a tour. First stop, the tree removal is in cleanup mode, with Vernon picking up sticks left behind. The pile is humongous, but he’s just picking up the small stuff. He jumped in the side by side to drive us to see the fence project. Back in the…
Picnic and Fun Photos
An hour of fishing for Matthew, (no fish were caught)… Run Wyatt down to hangout with Jaxon… Lorelei and Matthew take off for adventures… Quinlan shows up for a picnic but I send him home to get different shoes rather than his brand new school shoes… Loaded up with dogs, kids, and food, we’re off…
