Have you ever seen a disorganized, filthy, yucky garage? Well, I’ve had one for quite a while now. Last year, when the garage door broke, it got worse. Then I decided. I want the door repaired. I want a garage door opener. I want to walk out to go to work and not have to…

Finish and Start
I organized a bit in my garage today… It had become a pit since the garage door broke over a year ago. Plus many of my supplies for my studio have been tossed in there because of the delay in the studio’s construction. It has some changes coming… After lunch, the sun came out and…
Not So Hard
My three requests for help having been unfulfilled due to time constraints and/or lack of proper equipment, I decided today I’d just see if I could do this myself. What activity was I trying to accomplish? Well, my dogs have houses. Pitiful plastic things since the chickens have taken back the coop this winter. 9.5…

Looking For Ideas
Not too much to report on for today… Cleaning… Cooking lunch for some relatives in town for a memorial service… Catching up on other household duties since I was gone for three days… Finally, I got a chance to head out to the studio. The radial saw has disappeared again… so I switched back to…
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…
We Amaze Me
Gee, Carol, how many horses can you fit into your horse trailer? Well, today, obviously a few more than the six we usually squeeze in there! OK. I’ll say it first. You might be a redneck if… Instead of getting a car hauler, you decide you can fit a Ford Ranger into your 16′ horse…

Cute Accessories
I’ve managed a few days work in my studio… Remember that project? I don’t touch it for weeks, then get a few days of productivity! The electricity has been installed. I’ve filled some hard to reach gaps with foam insulation. I’ve torn down the top row of chicken nest boxes. They were tipping forward and …
Small Improvement
While today remained overcast, at least the wind wasn’t blowing! I jumped on this project because it’s a No Wind Necessary Project. I painted the little windmill in my front yard. We went from this: Note the rust… and the off white flower pot below it… Sage green legs and a brown flower pot… Some…
As Time Goes By
Boy. It’s difficult to blog without my camera anymore. *I* was ready for my dog walk/heifer checking/craftiness today… but I had a DEAD camera. Absolutely lifeless. No AED was gonna revive it. Sure, I had other cameras AT HOME… but that didn’t help out with today’s events. I listlessly plugged it into the wall on…
Vintage Grand Lady
Remember the Grand Lady? How she made the trip from the root cellar to my house… perhaps reclaiming a corner she once knew? And I put her in a fancy dress and touched up her makeup… and surrounded her with glitter? Well… she enjoyed the holidays… but it was time to get back to reality….
