Tess and I spent this cool morning working in the barn… While Tess sorted through racks of bridles… I screwed some boards into place. What was an open area now has boards to funnel the bales to the appropriate spot on the floor and keep them from landing in our new walkway. It went from…

Mixup
OK. Today is Wednesday. Except I thought it was Thursday. I woke up, showered, dressed, and DROVE THE TWENTY MILES INTO WORK. I was EARLY. I was PROUD OF MYSELF. Then the other workers came in, and I realized… I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY. YEAH. Nothing like getting your day off to…
In Progress
With the arrival of August, Wyoming is hitting the Solar Eclipse Mania full bore. Every one is going crazy… there’s tshirts and warnings from first responder groups and people renting out spaces to park RVs. Vernon laughingly told me I should rent out my studio, even though we’re not in full totality here. I always…
Start Somewhere
Miss me? I worked late at our library’s astronomy program last night… We had a guest speaker with an 8″ Dobsonian telescope. Since one of those is on my When-I-win-the-lottery List, I *had* to hang around until late. No #tbt this week… but… In a form of #tbt… Megan and I attacked our barn tack…
Goofball
I can’t help it! I HAVE to show you the newest addition to my studio! This chair and couch have been stored for years… they aren’t anything very special… a wooden frame, fairly disgusting cushions. But I have kept my eyes open and sure enough… I found cushions I wanted. Some with just the right…
Studio Video
All right! You asked for it, you got it! Here’s the tour of my studio as it is… I’ve been working on this building since 2009, obviously not consistently! I have dubbed it Sundog Studio, partly because one of my very first posts EVER on this blog was about a sundog… and because of a…
Studio Update
I was recently asked about my studio again… and if I could give a tour… so I filmed three today! The first two were too long, with too many details, so I finally shortened it to about 5 minutes! I was ready to start working on the movie, when the Denver Broncos started playing and…
We Can
How so many things affect us as we grow… multiple friends, our communities, a world of activities… As life goes on, the multiple distractions are whittled down, baring those true friends, the support of your close circle around you, and those activities that are special. I’m reminded of this every year by the short visit…
Paint Project
Fall is definitely in the air… nights are cool enough that my window fan is TOO cool by morning, hence another blanket on the bed. September will be a busy month, cow work is coming up, my annual trip to the Wyoming Library Association meeting in Cheyenne, plus a fun day or two planned as…
Workbench
Well, remember I told you I hauled my tools up to the garage from my studio? There was no where to put them! Argh! Long ago, I had Daniel cut some logs to be legs for a workbench and they still were in the garage. There was also the white countertop I thought I was…
Name My Dream
September of 2009. My… how long ago that was! I had a dream. I dreamed an old cabin turned chicken coop could be emptied of junk and remade into My Space. I went into this project with enthusiasm, hauling away pipe and old gas tanks and boards and tin. Ripping down chicken wire. Powerwashing the…
Progress
I’m not going to do the Q&A tonight, so take the time to send me one more question… **** I have been working on some minor (and one not so minor) projects when I can… I decided my front door, well, it’s NOT my FRONT door… Country people rarely use their FRONT door because it…
