While a couple of you gave my query of “What is Vernon’s latest project?” a couple of unique and humorous guesses… (No, it’s not a man cave or a donut shack!) and since J. could “cheat” by seeing the entire field as she drove by… I figured it was only fair I give out another…

Vernon’s Project
Vernon’s projects are much bigger than mine… and lately progress has been made… with much more to come! It began with this… and, today, it made it through Step Two! This is the reason we’re tearing down the shed and moving the granary… It’s not too hard to figure out… but I think I’ll ask…
Now Transforming
Since I’ve spent the past three days working at the library… doing our normal routine plus getting ready for our Harvest Dinner Fundraiser plus decorating for Halloween… I figured I’d share! The banner my coworker and I created Tuesday is just spiffy… Then my addition of cobwebs to the ceiling added just a smidge more…
Good Job
Today marked another year for the Scarecrow Contest at the library! Although we had fewer entries, the level of creativity was just as high… My favorite? Easily Brandon’s entry… Nicknamed “Daniel, the Ski Bum”! Hmmmm. The Daniel I know is more Sled Head than Ski Bum, so I don’t know who Brandon modeled his scarecrow…
Again
Well, it did, indeed, snow on the Big Horns last night. The mountains were in clouds when I would think about taking a picture… or I was inside working… or I was headed west to Worland (and not thinking eastward!)… or it was too dark! So I’ve had to use another picture that DOESN’T include…
Cat – I Remember You Now!
Ten Sleep Library had Cat Urbigkit, author and photographer, for a Meet and Greet tonight. Since Cat lives 30 miles south of Pinedale, Wyoming, the library has all her books. If nothing else, Wyoming libraries support their state authors! Most of her books qualify as children’s books, and they’re popular. They are tales of sheep,…
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…
We Made It
Yeah. All that about good intentions… I really thought I’d blog last night. From a motel room via email. I had a plan! Then things got all switched around, and instead of staying and spending the night… my boss and I decided to come home. In the rain. On the back road. On the back…
Snowflakes
It was a crazy day at the library today… getting ready for our Open House and Silent Auction. I had purchased some new ornaments for our tree this year… I think the last ones I bought were 7, 8, 9 years ago? It’s been a while anyway. We’ve switched from maroon and gold Victorian to…
Scarecrow Contest
Saturday, the Ten Sleep Library held a scarecrow contest! My boss/friend KJ has been wanting to do this for years… and we finally got our act together… and the Friends of the TSL donated the prizes. We had two categories… traditional and non-traditional… and paid out 3 places in each. A Wii and a Kindle…
Plenty To Do
Spent the day vaccinating our sad little weaned calves. I’ve written about it before, so there was nothing too overly exciting about the same process. We will finish them up tomorrow… Instead of calves, I figured I should share some more of Cheyenne. It is a cool city… really! Much of the downtown is a…
Out Here
Hey, honey, I’m HOME! I returned last night from Cheyenne, and was up early helping the guys sort and wean the calves from the cows they gathered yesterday. It was a welcome transition from town, even if half of the day was spent cleaning up dishes, cooking, dehydrating leftover vegetables, and sorting out dirty clothes…
