Brandon’s side by side went by, then came back, then a cow went by, and I figured a cow was having problems. Then the pickup went by. And a four wheeler. Then Quinlan’s little silver truck. I was crafting away, but then I got curious. Everyone seemed to be over helping this cow, but it…
Article
Woo-hoo. A state wide electronic newspaper called Cowboy State Daily has written an article about the Ten Sleep Library and our national award! It’s pretty good, though the reporter talked a lot about the tele-health booth. The funding for the booth itself fell through, but we will have a dedicated computer to use in our…
Stress
With all the great weather, Vernon had continued projects while letting everyone else handle calving the heifers. I, of course, went with him to the project in the badlands. Then, we found out that the National Award the library won was going to take some work and I went in to figure out things. I…
Throwback Thursday: Slipper and Babies, v.2.0
This was first posted March 12, 2016. Curious, since I taught a needle felting class tonight! Still doing the wool thing… I told myself to work on that video today… but instead I cleaned my house and actually cooked a decent meal and cleaned out the chicken coop and felted on a slipper. Somehow, the…
Wordless Wednesday: Patriotic View
For a jigsaw puzzle of my neighbor’s patriotic view, go HERE.
Spectacular
Out in the badlands, while Vernon worked on the pipeline, I investigated the remains of a homestead cabin. All the way out here… holy cow. I can’t imagine hauling a wagonload of lumber out here to build this cabin and shed. It’s not a homestead full of discarded remains… just this old stove. Maybe they…
Pretty Proud
I stole away two granddaughters for most of the day. I was ready to do more peg loom weaving, but the old sheets I’d ripped up were pink and tie dyed pastels, not exactly my color scheme. Two little girls approved though. First was tying the strings to the pegs. I demonstrated a row or…
Pit of Dreams
Vernon decided to try to work on finding the leak in the pipeline. I was to give him a head start as pulling his excavator out there would take a while. By the time I arrived, he’d torn up the ground, looking for the pipeline. It was ooey and gooey and looked like it could…
Sorta
Vernon asked for some help and I readily agreed. The weather was gorgeous and how could I pass it up? The object was to check the water in the badlands. All of our water tanks in our badlands allotments have their origin at this spring on private land. Johnny Greet and Ped Mills and others…
Lost Power
It was quite the topic of conversation today for most people out this way. “Did you lose power? Wasn’t it weird?” While losing power isn’t unusual, it’s normally a few flickers and then blackness. Twenty or thirty minutes and it’s back. No biggee. Our power company is great, but things happen. Last night, it began…
Wordless Wednesday: Formation Recreation
Bravo listens well and poses for me on this cool rock formation. For a jigsaw puzzle of our fun, go HERE.
Hello, Harold
Meet Harold. Or Derald. We weren’t really sure. Anyone remember the John Wayne movie Harold and Derald were in? Harold came from Victoria. Harold was my last rooster’s “brother”. Victoria ended up with three roosters last spring. Unfortunately, my rooster didn’t make it after his incident getting caught in my fence. She was thrilled to…
