Well, it’s done! I *did* complete something today! My calendar is put together and ready to print! I know I probably shouldn’t have said so until my shop was up and running, but I’m excited! I had 82 photos picked from this last year that I had to condense down into only 12 months with…
Too Many Irons
Too many irons in the fire… and none of them hot enough to brand! I worked on many things around here, but not a single one was finished, which just bums me out! I wandered around looking for pins to hold my dutch door together and didn’t find anything… I started working on the final…
So Well
Another one is over and done… The annual Harvest Dinner Raffle and Auction is finito! Whooooeeee. Over 80 items donated for the general raffle, 4 cool bucket raffle items, plus 16 amazing donations for the live auction! Supper starts at 5 straight up, at 5:30 we start pulling raffle items with 15 minutes in between…
Out There
Well, it’s been a long day of work, then we set up for a library book sale, then moved all the raffle items over to the school cafeteria for the Harvest Dinner, then zipped over to Worland and had our annual Girl Scout supper with “girls” we worked with up at Girl Scout National Center…

It always seems to sneak up on me! Seems like we’re down in donations this year for the library raffle… So…
Wordless Wednesday – “Down to Good Grass”
Our cows are down to good grass… and lovin’ it!
Little Crooked House
Today I kept trying to remember that nursery rhyme about the little crooked man… “and they all lived together in a little crooked house.” My studio qualifies. Like the problem we had with the window, the door, as well, was off kilter and out of alignment. Like the picture window, I decided to straighten it…
Minute Movie: Out of the Snow
More rain and snow today, just when we were getting dried out from the last storm! I want to thank everyone who has shared, tweeted, and linked to my Atlas Blizzard story. It seems we are spreading the news and making people aware of the tragedy in the Black Hills. You guys are great! Tonight…
Questions and Answers – October 2013 Edition
Let’s go! Marilyn: Question: your dogs expend a LOT of energy when they are working. What do you feed them for optimum nutrition? Marilyn, I feed Loyall dog food and usually they are on just the Maintenance. If there is going to be tons of work, I’ll buy their Active Adult which has higher protein. …
Scream
I worked the Scarecrow Contest at the library today. We had 11 entries… this one that Brandon created won him second place! I really liked Megan’s entry of “Dorothy and Toto” as well! But here’s a photo that’ll make you Long Time Readers (and me!) scream with JOY! Yes, the window is IN! It’s dirty,…
Atlas Blizzard Links
Thank you so much for your response to yesterday’s post about the Atlas Blizzard. I am glad I could answer some of your questions, or perhaps, just explain topics a tad bit better. Tonight, I think I’ll just provide a few links that you may be interested in investigating. For details on livestock stress and…

TEN THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE ATLAS BLIZZARD AND CATTLE!
