Happy Easter, everyone!
Happy Easter
Happy Easter, everyone!
Impressive
While the snow we had just received is quickly disappearing, Vernon and Daniel decided to zip up the mountain to see what conditions were like. They snowmobiled clear up to our mountain corral. We’re used to seeing it this way. It looks a little different. While pitiful compared to the snow amounts in Utah and…
Partner
Come to find out, Jaxon is not a fan of accompanying Tess when she gets her hair and nails done. I said he could come here. He saw that I had been working on some pysanky and asked if he could try. You bet! I’ve tried to get my family to do this with me,…
#TBT: The Easter Egg, v.2.0
This was first posted April 7, 2012. It’s been a busy couple of days, with kids and grandkids all here… But they’ve all left now. Silence reigns and a neglected English Shepherd lays at my feet! Easter Sunday just might be a smidge quiet. While they were here, I did, with Victoria’s help, manage to…

Calving in a Blizzard Video
I managed to throw together a video for today’s blizzard. We were lucky and haven’t received near the record amounts of snow across the state. We’re counting our blessings!
Tis the Season for Pysanky
The huge blizzard they predicted? It hit south of us but as of this evening, hasn’t made its appearance here. We were due to get most of it tomorrow, so I’ll see what I wake up to! The wind did blow all day and it was cold, so I sat down and pulled out my…
Chasing Grass
Well, we had 6-8” of snow on the ground two days ago, and it’s gone today. Anything slightly tilted to the south is dry, but snow remains on the north sides of hills, and there’s still plenty of mud in spots. Never fear, there’s a winter storm warning out for the next few days, with…
Spring? Clean
Relatively warm overnight, with no snow, and enough wind to strip what had fallen back a great deal… made for a good night of calving! No entries into my “calf in a bag”! Yippee! That meant my morning could be turned over to something I’ve been neglecting… spring cleaning my chicken coop! Whoop. Whoop. I…
Glen
With the storm that blew in last night, I knew I’d better just wait for Vernon to bring me the calf or calves. Sure enough… This big, 100 or 110 pound boy was not extremely cold, even if one ear was partially frozen. But he was still wet, so into my calf cooking bag he…
#TBT: Red Dirt Shirts, v.2.0
This was first posted March 25, 2012. I tried this earlier… on a tshirt for a friend, then on a canvas bag. Remember those Dirt Bags? I wasn’t happy. So I had to try again. I went and bought just a men’s white tshirt. I threw some mud at it and look what happened! (before washing it…)…
