Trying something new today. These heat lamps are a pet peeve of mine. They are cheaply made. They are very hot. They can start fires if they fall. I just don’t particularly care for the product! But when the weather drops, I need to keep my chickens warm. For those who insist that’s not necessary,…
Being Here
I have to admit, running inside from putting up outdoor Christmas decorations because Brandon just texted me is one thing… but to be able to pull up the live auction happening in Riverton, Wyoming is super cool. Lacee and Reagan and I could text Brandon… watch it be delivered and read by him on his…
#TBT: Big and Small Wyoming, v.2.0
This was first published December 3, 2012. Sigh. Back home again. While I’m thrilled to be back online, I will miss those little boys and their antics, oh, yes, the parents, too… The twins are just beginning to walk, so life is definitely a Big Adventure! So… gee… where to start? I *had* planned to…
Wordless Wednesday: Of Moon and Bulls
Thanks to Vernon, I have a cool photo. For a jigsaw puzzle, go HERE.
Finish That Fence
The posts that were pounded in a few days ago finally gained their rails of continuous fence. Brandon and Vernon worked on cutting saddles in the top of the posts and aligning the rest as good as possible. Brandon was there alone welding when I wandered over. Not the prettiest of fences we’ve ever built,…
Part Two
This is part two of our family craft night. The interior 20 sided “ball” is complete and we now will add all the points! Three half size straws will now be tied to the small quarter size triangles. As you can see, Reagan’s pink straws are being tied to the green. Parental help was very…
Family Craft
I decided I’d do a family craft over Thanksgiving. I knew it would be a challenge, but I figured they could do it with some help. The kids would have to make many triangles… easy enough… and tie knots with thread… therein lay the challenge. My prediction was sooooo right. It MAY have been a…
No Googling
Well, I’ve just snored myself awake… so I’m taking the easy out and saying I’ll have to blog tomorrow. What we did today is much, too much, of a complex process that shaking myself awake to be accurate in my description will not work. I will say this. If you know what a stellated icosahedron…
Aftermath
I hope you had a great holiday. We certainly did! Then we met up again today, ate leftovers, and celebrated Reagan’s birthday a few days early. Happy birthday, Sunshine… I can’t remember if I shared this photo I took this summer or not… but it’s a pretty good capture of her!
Happy Thanksgiving
Wishing you the best of the holiday!

Not the Prettiest
Sometimes there’s a whoopsie. Our heifers pushed up against this fence line last week. It’s old. It sits on the edge of a steep bank. The pressure of so many yearling heifers just was too much. The benefit to me was a pile of poles that will be sawn into firewood. Our choice for replacements…
