September of 2009. My… how long ago that was! I had a dream. I dreamed an old cabin turned chicken coop could be emptied of junk and remade into My Space. I went into this project with enthusiasm, hauling away pipe and old gas tanks and boards and tin. Ripping down chicken wire. Powerwashing the…
It’ll Be Fun
Thanks for the encouragement on my pastel work… I’m excited to keep trying it! I had pastels a LONG time ago, and just remember how the yellow would be covered in black, or the orange had green on it, because I kept them all thrown in a box together! I didn’t like that! In fact,…
Tricky
This occupied my morning… Since I’m stuck with posting from my ipad tonight, I’m only going to share the end result. This is Mace, he’s Lucas’ half brother. I didn’t quite capture him… He needs width between his eyes, a blockier head, SOMETHING! But since this is my first attempt with pastel pencils, I’ll give…
Bulls
The new bulls from Sitz Angus Ranch have been here a while now… separated from the other bulls to help them settle in and give them a period of quarantine time. It’s time to join the big bunch. But first, our brand has to be applied. With the good cattle market, the price of bulls…
Arsenal Addition
If I inspire you to do anything, I hope it has something to do with art or… power tools!!! Maybe most women my age don’t get excited about power tools… but, I do! This is the new baby in the arsenal. While the nail gun my brother gave me is bigger and “badder” than this…
Wyoming Writers
I missed you last night! Daniel called me at the library while I was there working at the book discussion. Tess was ill, and he wanted me to stop by. Long story short, I spent the night at their house without ever making it home. Everyone seems to be doing better now, but I’m hoping…
Merry Late Christmas
I’m not necessarily known for being on time… unfortunately, that’s one of my failings… so, no surprise that Daniel’s Christmas present was only 2/3 complete that day… and then, if it was late, well… no rush, right? I know, I’m horrible… But, hey, he received them last night! His new headstall is black leather, so…
Great Walk
After the normal routine of feeding cattle and chopping ice, the guys went snowmobiling for fun, and I decided on such a NICE sunny day, the dogs and I would head out for another shot at snowshoeing around the fields. It was much easier this time as I used my dad’s old fashioned bear paw…
WYOhero
There have been a few times in my life when I’ve wanted to give money to some charity instead of buying flowers or giving a gift, especially for those people that seem to have EVERYTHING. And I have… our local library and ambulance have benefited… the Red Cross, the American Cancer Society, Shriner’s Hospital, St….
