Raindrops on spruce trees and whiskers on puppies… Or something like that! Wyoming did its best to impersonate Seattle today. At least here it did. .23″ of moisture… most of it rain… though for a while it looked mighty Christmas-y out there! There’s snow on the ground, though my weather station doesn’t measure it or…
Supervisors
We loaded a few girls on the truck this morning. Time to say goodbye… Thanks, girls. Of course, the supervisors were there.

One Down
If I don’t get a project finished during the winter months… it’s probably not going to get done over the summer! At least those *hand-did* gifts… Like this one… Last year, Victoria found me the cutest Roy Rogers fabric while shopping for her twins’ quilt fabric. I was just going to put the two back…

Highlights
Getting organized for Thanksgiving, including cleaning and straightening up my house, occupied most of my day. Unknown to me, the guys moved the heifers from one field to another. Had I known, I would have helped… and of course, taken photos for you! As it was, the most excitement I saw was my washing machine! …
Two Versions
It was a long day in town… And since this isn’t a shopping blog… Here’s two versions of some of Mother Nature’s art she provided during last week’s snowstorm… The Dodge Rendering: The Ford Interpretation: **** P.

Reader’s Digest Version
Well, I didn’t take the time to figure out why my camera won’t download some of my videos. I’m not sure if its a memory thing, or if its unreadable for some other reason. Which is too bad, because I have great movies of Quinlan’s first bull sale! You’d think the sound and activity would…
Attentive
Today included: driving 2 hours to a bull sale. (bought a couple!) driving another 45 minutes to a.) watch Victoria’s middle school basketball team that she coaches (they won!) b.) attend an early 1st birthday party for the twins! driving home. OK. Technically I didn’t drive… but you know what I mean. That’s enough for…
Warm Place
I made some minor adjustments to the chicken coop this morning… Though repairing the window might require the purchase of larger rolls of wire… The rest of the day, it seems, was spent in my kitchen. It was a drying kind of day. As in dehydrator. Cleaning my refrigerator, aka creating soup starter, occupied part…
Dark Moons and Starlight
I wish I could photograph for you what I see at night, but pixels are poor imitators of the immenseness… the deep, soul-sucking blackness that backs the diamond brilliance of starlight unimpeded by city lights. The Milky Way that swags across the sky, a holiday decoration for year-round pleasure. The planets that wander along their…

Dally tries on some winter camouflage. **** November 14, 2011 Excavation (my Indiana Jones impression) November 14, 2010 We’re Still Looking November 14, 2009 Chain Cow (I wonder what ever happened to her?) November 14, 2008 Ooohh… Wyoming Wind
