Mother Nature had to remind us again that it is FEBRUARY. Three inches of fresh snow this morning… nice, wet, springtime-like snow… perfect for snowballs! I may or may not have thrown some… At least the 50˚ weather this past week melted pretty much ALL of the old snow, so there’s no ice underneath. Brandon…
Bats and Owls and Starlight
For the past few weeks, our neighbor has been drilling a water well. It quickly became apparent we weren’t used to strange lights in our neighborhood at night! You could top the hill up the road a mile or two, and wonder at the glowing reflection on the red cliffs and hills. I mean, this…
Wool Scarf
Tomorrow the Ten Sleep Library will be hosting Billie Jo Norsworthy from Lucy’s Sheep Camp. She’s coming over from Thermopolis just to give some lucky people a class on wool needle felting! Of course, someone has to be there to supervise the library… 😉 If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve seen me…
Calf Warmer
Still hung around close to the house today… working on some wool projects and cleaning… After lunch, though, I said I’d feed my bees and head down to where the guys were installing the calf warmer. After some research, I decided NOT to give the bees any corn syrup, as liquids need to be dried…
Happy Girls
Bummer. Everyone has had a cold around here, after the nasty crud in December, and the flu over Christmas… and I thought, knock on wood, that it might just pass me by. Nope. I got it. It’s been a horrid cold and flu season around here, hitting people in this community very hard. Actually, I…
Plein Air
The gift of pastel pencils has now turned into an obsession. I went ahead and bought regular pastels to speed up things… I’ve watched videos… I’ve glanced at some library books. The pastels arrived Thursday and I began Saturday night. I picked a photo from my ipad… Powder River Pass. Honestly… this is the first…
Roll Call
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…
