Great Plan
Ha! You guys cracked me up with your comments on yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday! Actually, I needed that laughter… you see, just about the time I finished Tuesday’s post and then crawled into bed, the phone rang. The heifer Daniel and I calved out… and I took the too-dark video of the birth for you which…
Tonight!
The guys had to go to town to talk to the accountant, and seeing as how my brain fogs up as soon as someone says “accountant”, I volunteered to stay and check the heifers. It was a nice, sunny day… and honestly, it’s the kind of day where I really miss checking the heifers! Sure…
Not Tonight
My father-in-law recorded -31˚ last night. We skated by with only -17˚. Shows what living closer to the creek will do for you in winter! As a result, we kept a closer eye on the heifers… they can go at any time, although they should wait just a bit longer! I was ready to crawl…
We Are Here
There is a heaviness, no, a solemnity, about new fallen snow. Glaringly white, made tolerable by squinting even with sunglasses, it lays quietly across fields and fences.

Moonset Pastel
A few days ago, I posted this as a photo… This is my pastel version! Yes, the moon is so much bigger, but that’s the way the eyes see it, while the camera doesn’t capture it the same way. Oh, I’d give this a B- grade, but this is all learning… And these red…
Wool Scarf, Step Two
In the past, I’ve seen gorgeous “landscape” scarves on the internet. The scarves are wet felted from roving, then needle felted with details. Ever since I saw the first one… I’ve wanted to make one! Isn’t it perfectly delicious? Finally, I did. Part One of this journey begins HERE. I’ve laid out my roving until…
Reposted for Elsa
I know I said I’d post pics of my scarf tonight… but I always glance through my older posts (links are found on the right sidebar)… and, honestly, I think this is one of my best posts EVER… So I’m reposting. Sometimes, the best words come only once… Missin’ you, Else… *Originally posted February 17,…
