First of all, my apologies for not posting last night. Got home at 8 pm, ate some supper, sat down on the couch and about 9:30 fell asleep. I woke up just after midnight with a crick in my neck, and just too out of it to even consider booting up my Mac and writing…

Red Dirt Girl
In case you haven’t been following my Twitter feed (also posted on the side bar and on Red Dirt’s Facebook page), I’ve been in Casper the past few days attending the Wyoming Library Association’s convention. This is only my second one… last year it was in Cheyenne… and it was great as well. (with the…

Pet Peeve #532
Pet peeve #532. So fifty feet away from Quinlan and I, is a corral full of commercial Angus… and I have to read a “farm” book to my grandson where all the cows are spotted. Please, someone write a kid’s book where there are BEEF cattle represented! Sigh. **** September 16, 2011 Eggs and Tomatoes…

Upon the Ground
The gate post was wrapped in smooth wire. The barbed version was saved for the gate and connected fence. Tacked with fence staples was an decrepit sign, illegible due to occasional rain, fiercely driven snow, and brutal wind that sandblasted the words into the cosmos. Although this day was respectable, she’d met each variety of…
Definitely A Blessing
The past three days, I’ve had a visitor. While I’ve had to dress up and work at the Ten Sleep Library, my visitor has donned work clothes, gloves, and air mask… and he’s shoveled out my chicken coop/studio! YAYYYYYYY! My sweet sweet nephew, R., came up on his way to Billings and has sweated and…
Fresh Air Partners
The storm yesterday did wonders… The brilliant blue sky that is one of the hallmarks of Wyoming has returned! The varied pageantry of clouds fluffed and scurried and skimmed and floated… just like old times. For today, there was no dreaded smoke, no haze to dampen spirits. Ah, *this* is Wyoming, “Where the air is…

Mountain Picnic
With company here, we actually took some time off… This time we chose to go to our mountain pasture and check out the grass (and weeds) and enjoy a picnic. I didn’t have enough hot dogs… so gypsy dinners it is! The scenery was beautiful… The weather was great (no wind, perfect temperature… with the…
