Adding Color
Babysat the grandkids so Tess could go ride and gather cows… preg testing a small bunch tomorrow! I did manage to put a bit of color on my poster’s test copy for Craig Johnson. It’s not finished yet, and I don’t like the pink/purple in the upper right corner… but that’s why it’s a test…
Lucas Working Video
This. This is what he was born to do. On one hand, I love watching him do this. Unbidden. Quiet. I *love* quiet. On the other, his hopskip cracks my heart. At the end of the mile, going through the gate, he lays down exhausted, and lets the heifers file through on their own. He…
Woolen Blocks
Darkness is coming earlier in the evening, and I find myself reaching for unfinished projects to work on as I sit on the couch. My first choice… Soft woolen blocks for the granddaughters… I had needle felted the designs on, but not finished the handstitching… Made from a multicolored felt piece from Lucy’s Sheep Camp,…
Colt’s Video
Colt has been here a while now… and he knows the routine. He loves me and likes attention, although he’s not a snuggler, and while he asks for it, he still remains tense if you mess with his back half! He tolerates it, and then asks for more. He and Lucas have a truce, but…
Some Creativity
I’ve been working on a new video… hopefully with less uploading trauma than the last one! So for tonight’s quick pic… I thought I’d make you jealous. The view from my studio this evening… A fingernail moon ornamented the sky just barely out of view, I did catch it in other photos, but still preferred…
Tragedy to Success
Let’s move on to some much better news… If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you know Lucas. My heart dog. I’ve been meaning to share a video of him when he got to work cows a couple of weeks ago, but you know, other things have taken up my thoughts lately! …
Capital T.
I’m of mixed feelings tonight… was going to share the next home improvement project I started… which includes painting… but then I called GoDaddy to help me figure out where most of my photos on past posts disappeared to. Same ol’ song and dance. Waaah. Waaah. You’ve heard this before. This blog is a Tragedy. …
See You Later
One of the most common questions I receive about living “way out in the boonies on a ranch”, is one about shopping. Whether I like it or do it often or where’s the closest mall… (no, no, and 4 hours away) The same applies to doctor visits… whether it’s close and convenient, and how do…
Pay Backs
All summer. ALL SUMMER! I’ve been wanting someone to help me hang my Wyoming map that will serve as a shade for my large window in my studio… We’ve discussed methods and brackets and wood vs. metal… But I cornered Brandon… and I spent a bit helping him repair a water tank, and so, he…
Worm Pills for Children
In between working and riding and fighting to create the Powwow Video… I have been able to sneak out to my studio! While I’m still in search of my map of Girl Scout National Center West (anyone have a spare to donate? 😉 ), so my map tabletop is at a standstill, I decided to…
