I’m very excited! I’ve been working on details in the bathroom… sealing the grout, caulking, lining cabinets, and working on wood trim. Again, nothing much to share, but exciting enough to me to think I could take a REAL shower in my new bathroom in a few days! I ran out of caulk with 6″…
Questions and Answers – December Edition
Let’s jump right in… the water’s… uh. Frozen. Oh, well. Laura wrote: Do you ever get attached to the cows and are sorry to see them go? Generally, we don’t get attached to them enough as adults to be sad when they leave. We have put our heart into keeping them fed, watered, and well, though,…
Wordless Wednesday – “My *Piece* on Earth”
A shot of my *piece* on earth… **** December 8, 2009 Frosted December 8, 2008 Follow Up on Be Warned
Warm Fuzzy
Pearl Harbor Day… and I think of Uncle A… 19 years old and in the holds of a ship struck that day. Power was lost and the lights went out… he had grabbed hold of an over head pipe and was hanging in the air. The darkness was so intense he didn’t know if there…
Your Library
The library was packed again tonight for another fundraiser. They really only have a few each year, but it seems like more because they are so close together. I haven’t made this Open House/Silent Auction Fundraiser lately because I’ve been going to the sale barn in Riverton with the guys. I signed up to bring…
Boys ‘n’ Toys
I haven’t heard from any of you about your attempts at making a wool saddle pad… Is anyone besides me making one of these? I’ve just been referring everyone to the posts at “Just Another Day On the Prairie” instead of redoing all of her instructions and work. No need to reinvent the wheel… but…
Making My Millions
The snow that caused my white knuckles of yesterday also caused Vernon much distress. The plan today was to ship 60 yearling heifers off to the sale barn, but 4 inches of snow makes for slick hills. Slick hills make truck drivers nervous. And owners of the heifers that are going inside those trucks. We…
Panic and White Knuckles
I don’t know if I should title this entry, “Panic” or “White Knuckles”. After falling asleep while trying to watch the National Finals Rodeo… I awoke to a dog’s snuffling nose at my bedside. Grabbing ten more seconds of warmth, I tossed back the covers and glanced at my windows. No rim of frost. Good….
Random
I’m blank. No, I take that back. I have multiple topics dancing around in my head, but no focus, no singular thought. If I don’t watch out, I’ll still be awake when the NFR comes on! For those of you who don’t know, that’s National Finals Rodeo. In Vegas, baby! Many rodeo fans will be…
Wordless Wednesday – “Those Cleopatra Eyes”
Ya just gotta love Elsa and her Cleopatra eyes! **** December 1, 2009 These Men December 2, 2008 OOPE Day 3
Two Reasons
You asked for it, so here it is… I can’t take credit for the design of the paperback book wreath… although I did add my two cents worth! Here’s the link to Living With Lindsay where I found this cool idea! She says “Librarians, Please Avert Your Eyes”… but it seems to me, with the reactions…
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…
I managed to have a dream job of mine today… My Christmas Decorator license was used to its full extent! The wreath that I’ve been creating a few ornaments for, was finished by five volunteers today. I did my wheat weaving, painted jingle bells, and fake birchbark ornaments. We also had boiled wool mittens, copper…
