It was another gorgeous day and I wandered down to the corral to give a hand to Daniel as he PAP tested his bulls and cows. Not that he needed me, but it was an excuse to get out and about. PAP testing, if you remember my other posts on it, measures Pulmonary Arterial Pressure….
Romeo Romeo
I’d like to introduce Romeo. I took Indy and Bravo to meet him. No, he’s not an English Shepherd. He’s a Corgi. Romeo belongs to Brandon and Megan and Lorelei and Quinlan. He’s a definite cutie… I do believe he’ll fit right in…
Creative
I finished up a diamond dot picture today… this one appealed because of the balsamroot and lupine look of the piece. I do like the look of diamond dots… though there isn’t much creativity in the process. For those of you who are unfamiliar with dotting… it’s much like paint by number. A sticky canvas…
Another Visit to MMW
We recently headed to Buffalo and Sheridan, part meeting and part shopping trip. I had Vernon swing by the Wool Mill of Mountain Meadow Wool. It’s a favorite stop of mine… and I’ve written about it before. In a few weeks, I’ll be teaching a needle felting class, and needed some supplies. We will be…
Reminiscing XII
Stories from James Greet. ”One of the remarkable stories that dad told was about a mute range cow that they had in their herd. She would have a calf every spring. During the spring roundup one year, this cow didn’t seem to have her calf with her. This meant that her calf was left on…
TBT: Wildlife Meditation, v.2.0
This was first published February 9, 2014. Well, football’s over… Vernon was gone snowmobiling… I’d cleaned and crafted and was ready for *something different* for my Sunday afternoon. aha! Grabbed cameras and dogs and we went for a drive. What? What’s that? Oh, yes, those pesky elk that have been hanging on the highway… Highly…
Wordless Wednesday: Sparks
For a jigsaw puzzle, go here.
Cousin
Scrolling through Facebook tonight… up pops my cousin’s comment. Fifty six years ago today, on patrol in the jungle of South Vietnam, he was gut shot. At eleven in the morning, he fell with the first bullet. I had to reply to him tonight. His story was a very vivid memory for my little nine…
They’ll Work
After making Tess these mittens for her birthday… I decided to make me another pair as well… the ones I had made years ago were now riddled with holes and one has gone walkabout. So today… One cuff is a bit longer. One has a bit of extra wool on the fingertips. But they’ll work.
Continuous Fence
Some of you were impressed with our fence and I agree. Continuous fence is very popular now with good reason. When I was first married in 1981, this corral had been dubbed “the new corral”. It was only a year or two old… It has been repaired and reinforced and refurbished, but it is definitely…
Corral Design
Winter has been extraordinarily warm and dry except for the one week we were plunged into -35 range. It was predicted this weekend would be full of rain but for over half of today, there wasn’t a raindrop in sight. Vernon returned to a project he’d started. I tagged along because projects are always more…
Reminiscing XI
Stories by James Greet: Bubbles was a good mother, like most felines. One summer, she had her kittens up in the haymow. It didn’t take us kids long to find them. She decided that her babies were too young to be handled by curious kids, she must do something. Bubbles moved them, one at a…
