Our new venture… “Crystal Farming” ************************************************************************************* October 13, 2009 Signs That You May Be In Wyoming…
Intelligence Level
Many of you have commented on the amount of knowledge I have seemed to have absorbed the years I’ve lived on this place. It’s true… and I had discussion about that with a friend the other day. I never thought I could vaccinate cattle, but I do… I never thought I could drive a tractor,…
The Hands of Greet Ranch
The skin may be covered in oil and grease. The fingernails may be full of grit and goo. A splinter or a barbwire cut is usually evident. The fingers may curve in atypical directions… blame it on football or machinery or livestock. There are no rings to snag in a pto. Calluses are present, especially…
A Visitor
Today the guys come hustling into the house a little early for lunch. “Grab your camera and c’mere!” I take orders well, *sometimes*, so I grabbed my camera and followed them out my back door. I’m expecting a herd of elk. Or fire. Or a coyote or a wolf even. Nope. This. An alien from…
Raisin’ a Little
RAIN! HONESTLY! A nice little rain hit last night and most of today. We probably are lucky if we got .5 inch, but that’s enough for Wyoming to sigh with relief… hope wildfire season is over and we might even green up a bit if the nights continue to be on the warm side! Today…
Questions and Answers – October Edition
Let’s jump right in! Cannot believe what happened to the lady in your memorandum. That is truly tragic. I know the ES (English Shepherd) families are in total shock. Huge loss…..Could you post for others what you know of this? Prayers to all connected….. Judy Judy, we don’t know much. Marcia went on a walk…
Life Out There
Even though the day was gorgeous, and should have been spent constructively… as in finishing the last bit of tiling, or mowing a lawn, or working in my studio… I chose instead to go to Ten Sleep and roam the streets. All kidding aside, yes, Ten Sleep has street(s) and they are paved, though not…
Wordless Wednesday – “Sunshine Flows into Trees”
Again. Here it is. “Sunshine Flows into Trees” Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~John Muir In Memoriam … Marcia King-Brink … English Shepherd lover/breeder/friend ******************************************************************************* October 6,…
Black and Blue
The third Lumix camera of the year died today. I’ll hopefully contact Panasonic tomorrow and get some money back. They’ve been awfully good at replacing it, but I’m tired of cameras that last only three months! So it’s back to my first digital camera… my old 2.1 megapixel Olympus C700… made famous by my OOPE…
Cottonwood’s 50/50
Thanks so much for everyone’s kind thoughts… I *am* feeling much better today. I know my friends’ hot tub helped and laying around like a slug probably was good too. I had enough of that by today, though, so I leisurely drove up to the Mills Place and laid more tile. I only have around…
The Best We Could
Well, I spent another day SITTING. My back is slightly better… I did sleep through the night… but I am far from healed. I have moved my computer out to the living room… setting up a table next to the recliner. It’s not the best, I still have to turn slightly to look at the…
Short Segments
Wow. I honestly thought I’d feel better today, but I don’t. I’m even taking pain meds, which help for a bit… Then some ice. Then some heat. I actually passed on the riding today, something I don’t think I’ve missed since I was pregnant! I’ve mentally trashed my trip to the dog clinic in Cody…
