As of today, I have honey in jars, yellow squash relish in jars, and sweet pickle relish in jars. I even used the Periscope app to broadcast my canning adventures although I think only 1 or 2 people saw me… I still think it’s a great way to share activities and I see great things…
Questions and Answers: August 2015 Edition
Marilyn M: Is this normal to take your herd to the mountain this late in the year? We are going later for two reasons. One, the most important, is because we have so much larkspur on our mountain pasture, we wait until it is dried up and less palatable, hoping that our cows won’t eat…
Happy Dog
OK, when it takes me 45 minutes to get this far… to type these first words… it ain’t gonna be a long post! Obviously, my computer is having some difficulties… too many photos perhaps??? So, short and sweet. Idaho’s wildfire smoke has arrived, making for ugly skies except for sunrise and sunset. I rode along…
BlogHer15 VoTY Award
I was going to do the Question and Answer session, but something was delivered by UPS yesterday and I HAVE TO SHARE! Within the plain cardboard sat a dark velvet box with custom ribbon around it. The ribbon read “SHE KNOWS MEDIA”. No question about it… this was my BlogHer Award! Perhaps you’ll remember that…
The Fault in My Stars
Well, I thought it was me… fighting and losing the battle for night photography… I thought I was stupid (well, I am with the GoPro!)… but today, after a short discussion with a lady who is a much better photographer than I… I found out that my ISO setting is just not good enough! IT’S…
Always Greener
I’m trying for meteorite photos and/or time lapse… or just a night under the stars… it’s good for my soul! A pic from the other day, proving that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!
My Agenda
My lists? My agendas? yeah… well… Moving heifers this morning instead! A morning stroll along the creek. Checking out the local geology… Conversing with wildlife… Oh, yeah… and moving heifers… **** Last call for questions!!! Post ’em here!
Neverfail
No such luck on the night time lapse on my GoPro… TOO DARK! I’ll have to figure that out… Took time lapses on the mountain today, but I’m still recharging the camera, so I’m not sure if they worked. I CANNOT see the display without my reading glasses, so it’s so frustrating if I want…
Some Success
I spent part of my afternoon trying to figure out my GoPro camera. Some of you have said you thought I needed one, but I have one! I just don’t use it because a) I don’t know how b) the screen is so flipping tiny I can’t see what I’m doing c) the battery life…
DeSkunk
It was bound to happen… that aromatic whiff that gags you when your dog walks by… The pitiful looks of not understanding when she is banished to the far reaches of the yard… (I wish!) And finally, when the chance arises, the saving grace of DeSkunking Shampoo! Step One: Gather your ingredients. One quart of…
Hay, Hay
Hay, hay. Second cutting is finally underway. **** It’s already the seventh of August… I have a couple of questions to answer… Anyone have any more???? Post them here!
