The little rain, rain, snow mix of the past twelve hours did make it slick, but as the afternoon wore on, the clouds continued their journey east, and the sun reappeared with a gentle glowing light. Time for me to stop my crafting and get outside! My brainless dog, Bravo, knows quite well how to…
Gathering Deadline
Today I was going to watch the grandkids while everyone else was going to gather the cows from the badlands. Jaxon was a bit under the weather, his mom keeping all of her kids home, so I ended up with only Lorelei. Quinlan had decided to cowboy. Lorelei and I began to tackle an old…
Expressions
There’s been a fair amount of shop work, aka maintenance, on various vehicles lately. Occasionally, I swing by to see what the guys are working on, and maybe pass them a wrench or socket. If they don’t seem to need help, I usually wander on quite quickly. Mechanical devices and I aren’t usually on the…
Beauty Update
I have a quick update on how I ended up arranging my big new sunburst cabinet. Remember this beauty? After a couple of trials of different ways to have the upper part become home to all of my tshirts… I went ahead and bought some shelving. Honestly, it couldn’t have fit any better! I’m very…
#TBT: Clostridium Perfringens Type C, v.2.0
This was first posted on January 17, 2012. Kudos to you if you know what that is. Or not… depending on how you look at things. Because if you know this bovine illness, you know its consequences, and you know sometimes it’s not pretty. Let me back up and use some English. We vaccinated our…

Sorry about last night… when you wait until late to write your post… and then it won’t let you sign in… it doesn’t take too long before you just give up and go to bed! I don’t have that much patience late at night. But! I did sit down this evening and make a movie….
It’s a Start
A little bit of work with the little bitty dog… I try to get my dogs to be relaxed around cattle. It’s easy to get them hyped up usually, so calm is the first thing I work on. Let’s do that with four critters Brandon is feeding. Distance gives us less pressure, so we’re as…
Present
I have to share one of my Christmas presents with you. I asked for this item… a kindling splitter! Oh, sure, you can use a hatchet or axe to split your pieces down into kindling… but my aim has never been good with those, so I turned to this reverse operation. Place your log on…
Sheep and Wool
Today I attended a Women in Agriculture meeting entitled All About Wool. I freely admit I know practically nothing about sheep and wool. I’ve used wool from the roving stage in crafts including my wool covered soap “stones”, my wet felting of slippers, mittens, and a hat, my needle felting wool on felted wool Christmas…
#TBT: Wordless Wednesday: Friends, v.2.0
This was first posted January 4, 2012. I was talking about this the other day. No one lights up this pump jack anymore, and I miss it! For my not quite so Wordless Wednesday… a poem! **** On a dark Wyoming hill sits a pump jack all alone. Red lights shimmer upon it and give…
