Well, Victoria and the twins were here since last night… so this morning was quality time with the boys spending time with chickens for a bit… then it was off to the sledding hill. This chinook wind has cut the snow level around here tremendously, and our little hill was in slick and fast form. …
Rising
Spent most of my day preparing and hosting an Origami Owl Jewelry party. It was fun… not my typical thing to do! So… All I have is the almost full moon rising the other day…
Chanting
When you combine a split hose, water, and Wyoming winter, you get… There is a fine mist spraying into the center. Every texture of ice is portrayed. The melted glass look… Sugared crystalline grass… Feathered ice. And speaking of feathers… Upon my approach, I instantly saw it. Do you? On the right, an Indian medicine…
Wordless Wednesday – “English Shadow”
Oh, that English Shadow…
Phoenix
This has occupied our thoughts here lately. (photo by Lee Lockhart) This is Ten Sleep’s Fire Hall. Sunday night it burned down… with 5 vehicles inside. How ironic that a fire hall would burn down, especially since it is one of the “newer” buildings in Ten Sleep. We have many more buildings that have worse…

The last two attempts… Pastel pencils… “Coming Through the Quakies” Charcoal… “The Crossing”

Workbench
Well, remember I told you I hauled my tools up to the garage from my studio? There was no where to put them! Argh! Long ago, I had Daniel cut some logs to be legs for a workbench and they still were in the garage. There was also the white countertop I thought I was…
Name My Dream
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…
