With days of bad weather and babysitting and “me time”, my stash of crafts has grown. I’ve been on an alcohol ink kick lately. The trouble I’ve faced is how to seal the ink. I’d made quite a few and knew they weren’t dishwasher safe. And I also didn’t like the way the acrylic spray…
#TBT: Whisper of Hay Dust, v.2.0
This was first posted January 22, 2012. Hay dust filters through the sunlight, drifting in lazy circles until it settles back on wooden edges. Ancient grain, a pile of manure (well-aged), mice scent, and dried out leather add to the ambience as I wonder at the memories held in these log walls. Memories that don’t…
Wordless Wednesday: Trailing Towards the Hidden Mountains
For a jigsaw puzzle of Megan’s photo, Trailing Toward the Hidden Mountains, go HERE. (Yes, they’re the Big Horns but you can’t see them because of FOG/SNOW/CLOUDS)
Good One
Tonight the library was to show the movie, Secondhand Lions, just to give the people of Ten Sleep something to do… watch a Great Movie, eat some popcorn and drink some hot chocolate (it’s beginning to snow again), and enjoy each other’s company. Well. It didn’t work out, and me (the projectionist) was the only…
Sorry, Bud
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…
Wordless Wednesday: “Good Morning”
For a jigsaw puzzle of this sunrise, go HERE.
workworkwork Movie
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…
