Well, it’s over! Our big night at the library is over and done! Seems like I haven’t done anything else but prepare for this for WEEKS! We ended up with 139 items, which is pretty stinking good! I think our attendance was way down though, it seemed kind of empty in there to me, except…
Best Advantage
My last day before our Library Open House and Silent Auction. Did I get everything finished I wanted to?? No. There never seems to be enough time. But I’ll donate a calendar, a soapstone, and maybe even some honey if I can part with it!!! Then there’s this little item. These are made of local…
Hunter
She’s a hunter. Elsa was better by far than Dally or Lucas… Maybe Eden has inherited those genes from her Great Aunt. After training on some basic commands in the field (close to some calves for distraction and acclimation), I turned her loose with the “mouse, mouse!” command. I didn’t really think she’d do too…
Calf Pen
If I had wanted to put them in there, I couldn’t have done it. They would have refused in a split second. But now, they WANT to be in there. There is no food, there is no water. They have bent the back panel a bit… little turds. I wonder what the chickens think when…
Every One
Holy cow! What a rocking day at the library today! Decorating, tons of patrons, school facilities guy, more decorating, organizing and setting up new items for the auction… refreshed the 6th graders on research methods… opening packages, updating library facebook and emailing photos… answering questions, a few moments of dusting, rearranging and cleaning up the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Cloud Waves”
A buck and doe are silhouetted against brilliant cloud waves.
Rocks
We went on a little tour today. A neighbor wanted to pick my brother-in-law’s brain… B. is a geologist, and this country is heaven and hell for geologists! Heaven… because there’s a lifetime of work here, hell… because it’s not easy figuring out what is going on with all our anticlines, monoclines, faults, ridges, creeks,…
Skiff
Clarification: If you’d like to see the photos in each of my calendars before you buy… You need to click on PREVIEW below the cover photo… Here’s the link for the black and white one. Here’s the color version! I hope that helps! Today was spent at the library, again setting up for the Open…
2015 Red Dirt In My Soul Calendars
Well, pardon the self promotion, but thought I’d share some photos from my calendars since tomorrow is Cyber Monday. I have two calendars this year… a color version and a monochrome one too! I alternate between them as to which is my favorite… You order direct from lulu.com and they print it and send it…
Authentic
I mentioned I have the theme of “A Christmas Carol” for the library… Victorian… Charles Dickens… right? While trolling for ideas on the internet, I saw a pic of a little chair, a crutch, a top hat, and fiddle set just in a corner… and I *LOVED* it! Tiny Tim’s chair. Can everyone say, “Aaaaaaawwww”?…
Upcoming
The sign I painted on the library door… Obviously our Open House and Silent Auction is coming up FAST! The bulletin board inside is decorated as A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, so my Victorian lamp post served as my sign post. I’m still looking for a Dickens’ style top hat… I should just buy…
