Well, it has arrived. Our first real rain since spring. .56” ! It’s still raining, too. While I could have still cleaned my chicken coop, my heart wasn’t in it. So… time for crafts! Victoria bought me this Yupo paper for alcohol ink. The paper is translucent and it looks the best back-lit, so I…
Library Snowball
With the new month of October begins a very busy time for the library. We’re decorating for fall then Halloween… our big Harvest Dinner with raffle and silent auction… an author visit with Scott Werbelow “Son of a Poacher” (for any outdoor person, it’s a rollicking trio of books)… book discussion… adult craft night… then…
Throwback Thursday: Cat Urbigkit, One Book Wyoming, v.2.0
This was first posted October 2, 2015. We had planned to have Cat return to the library this spring but she is battling health problems and we continue to wish her ALL THE BEST. I also encourage you to check out ALL of her books, they’re remarkable! Oh, and this was before our library’s expansion,…

Meet Roxie
Well, we met my new rooster yesterday, (still no name), but today I’ll introduce you to Daniel’s new puppy. This is Roxie. 9 week old, Australian Shepherd. They had been looking for a new dog as their other female Aussie was getting old. Poor Tina disappeared a few weeks ago without a trace. They searched…
Suggestions?
It must just be his bad side because this guy is pretty handsome… This is my new rooster, courtesy of Victoria. Out of her chicks, 3 turned out to be roosters. I haven’t had a rooster for a couple of years, so I’m giving it a try again. The cost of chicks has gone up…
Excitement
When the highlight of your day is cleaning your stovetop… it’s a challenge to blog. I also washed out my vacuum. Can you say, EXCITEMENT? No photo can exemplify today… or maybe I just didn’t take one! Cheers to the boring days that make other days seem much more special.
Classic Train
The day was full of homecoming games… volleyball and football. You win some, you lose some. I’ve been wanting to share this little guy all summer. This little train was found over at Brandon’s house. It was the spot where so many hired hands lived over the years of this ranch. I wanted to post…
Good Conference
I’ve spent the past few days at the Wyoming Library Association conference in Casper. We were lucky enough to listen to Shamichael Hallman, author of “Meet Me at the Library”. Then there was Mychal Threets, who teams up with PBS and promotes libraries with viral TikTok videos… I didn’t get a pic with Rebecca Hass,…
Throwback Thursday: Red Dirt In My Soul
Because I feel like it… a repost of my story from our centennial celebration in 2009.

Wean Work
The day started with low clouds… and I mean LOW… But as the morning progressed… the weather improved. And, hey, the cows were all still in! They were quickly corralled and we began to sort. With it being slightly muddy and that treacherous cow poop everywhere… I stayed out of the way… for a while….
