The small bunch was gathered and the calves weaned yesterday. I predicted chilly, and breezy, and I wore my flannel lined jeans and chaps… And I was happy to shuck my chaps by noon. I would have shucked those jeans too, if I’d had a regular pair to change into! It was a gorgeous, gorgeous…
Frustration
my computer is at a standstill. I have a new external harddrive, but I’m cleaning up so many photos off of the old one, that is reminds me of the old days! You know, have something else to work on while waiting for the little whirlygig to stop spinning! my ipad is giving me warnings…
Watercolor
I played today by attending a workshop at the Washakie Museum in Worland. Gayle Barnett was the presenter for a class on watercolor painting! I had never met her until today, though I have bought some of her cards before. Formerly of Meeteetse, Wyoming, she now works in the big city of Recluse! This was…
Sweet
It’s starting to cool off here… acting like October! I put away two of my large flower pots for the winter… I had sweet potato vine growing in them for the summer… and I thought…. well, might as well dig down and see if they did anything. Yup. Enough for a couple of servings. Who…
Cat Urbigkit – One Book Wyoming
If you follow the Ten Sleep Branch Library on Facebook, (or Red Dirt In My Soul… or me!) you may have seen me post that tonight was the One Book Wyoming event at the library with Cat Urbigkit. Cat has children’s books and adult books and three were actually chosen for One Book Wyoming (which…
Wean Flaps
The last quarter of our herd was preg tested today. So was Brandon’s little bunch and a neighbor’s. I got there just as they were finishing up with Brandon’s… and good timing too, since he is trying something I’ve been wanting to do for a couple of years! Here’s our neighbor, with a helping hand…
WLA-MPLA Video
The Wyoming Library Association and Mountain Plains Library Association held their joint conference in Cheyenne, Wyoming. While these photos didn’t capture all the fun I had, this at least gives some idea of what it was like! Enjoy! WLA 2015 from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
Minute Movie: Gathering the Mountain Pasture
Computer freezing… too cloudy to see the eclipse… rain missed us… kinda one of those “ugh” nights… Not the one I wanted, but it was ready to go… here’s the Minute Movie from a couple of weeks ago… gathering the mountain pasture for weaning. Had to add the canned music because the wind was blowing…
Not Enough Time
Wednesday saw me headed to Cheyenne for the Wyoming Library Association’s annual conference. This year it was held in conjunction with the Mountain Plains Library Association’s meeting as well. This year, we were FOUR! What a fun crew to go to a meeting! First night was an opening reception at Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West…
Back from Cheyenne
I’m back from Cheyenne (sounds like a song… or a book!), but I’m a bit tired and thirsty… We’ll catch up tomorrow… Anyone need a drink of water???
Ripple
First full day at the joint Wyoming Library Association and Mountain Plains Library Association meeting, and, as usual, it’s been enjoyable. Our opening keynote was Scott Ginsburg and he had us laughing and having “aha! moments” as well. My cohorts and I then split to attend various sessions, me, to storytelling, the legislative luncheon, and…
