Yesterday I said I’d be heading to work early. Well, I did. Ten inches of snow got me out the door in good time… and as I said goodbye to my furry crew in the yard, Dally gave a strange “woof”! I turned back to her to tell her to hush! when I noticed her…
Counting
Snow! Gobs of it! Well, not New York style, but a good little storm this afternoon and evening. The kind where you feel you’ve transported to the Enterprise right before it goes into warp speed… which I would have taken a photo of but I preferred to *stop* my “shuttlecraft” before pulling out the camera. …
The Same
Another one from the pass… Can you tell I’m busy getting ready for the holiday? There hasn’t been too much to post about! Cleaning, organizing, planning and soon cooking have been taking my days. I hope you’re busy doing the same!
Celebrate
We drove over the hill today to celebrate the twins’ third birthday (a little late). The wind was howling on Powder River Pass, elevation 9,666′, but it made for a few great wintry photos!
Black and White
Finally finished. The black and white Red Dirt In My Soul 2015 calendar is available for purchase! Unfortunately, I just took this photo today, so it’s not in there… 😉 Maybe next year if I sell some! This monochromatic version includes my favorite b&w and sepia pics from this last year. Check it out here.
Fun
Started off the morning by zipping to Ten Sleep School. I honestly don’t visit there much, my interest has waned since my kids all graduated… and the biggest visit may be to haul some books over for a teacher or student. Today, though, they had an inspirational speaker who piqued my interest, and since I…
Friend’s Gift
With the cold and the snow (6′ in Buffalo, NY, really???) my mind thinks of wool… Here’s my first wool BOWL! I cut a resist from some soft plastic (floor underlayment) about 5″ across. I began to layer wool roving under and over it, each time changing the direction of the roving, and pulling the…
Wordless Wednesday – “Wild Commute”
Elk and antelope add to the scenery of my commute this morning.
I Wish
I Wish I had painted this, but it’s an app. I plan on learning from it though…
Chicken in the Cold
After the frigid cold we’ve been having, a day where it gets up into the teens and twenties feels pretty dog gone good! You’re ready to get out of the house and go for a walk… maybe a short one, but a walk all the same. Since the cold hit, Truce, the black cat, has…
Long Way to Go
I love the look of watercolors… but need to be freer in my application of pigment! I tend to overwork, overthink, and overdetail a lot of my paintings… so I TRIED… and practiced… and, Yeah, still have a long way to go before I qualify as a watercolor artist!
Unroll and Enjoy!
We received a box of cranberries from a hunter… and I mean A BOX. I *like* cranberries, but you’d have to eat a lot of turkey to use all those cranberries! I decided to make craisins out of most of them. I pulled out my dehydrator and layered a bunch of cranberries on the shelves. …
