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…

Many Blessings
While ranch work consumes the guys, as usual, and I march off to my day job at the library, bits and pieces of blessings flow around us. First, remember these, my Red Dirt shirts I made to benefit the Washakie County Library Endowment? They were sold at a silent auction fundraiser. The characters of Henry…
Wordless Wednesday – “Trailing Sheep”
For WW this week, as we crossed the Big Horn Mountains yesterday, we passed through this large band of sheep trailing to new pasture. This is a lot of wool and mutton! **** September 5, 2011 Labor Day… Yeah, About That… September 5, 2010 Something You’ll Like September 5, 2009 Pregnancy Testing Video September 5,…
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…

Notable Accomplishment
Honestly, I don’t do too much when I have company… A few meals… Some diapers… You know? But while sitting around visiting, letting the kids listen and watch to “Smule”, I found another neato app for my iPad. (Of course, neato and iPad, are of the same generation of vocabulary, right?) It’s called Notability… 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…
C’mon, Isaac
There were actually rain clouds in the sky today… and a smidge even fell out of them! I should have taken a photo… it’s the first rain we’ve had in… uh… hmmm. yeah. Hold on a minute, yes, yes, I do believe I have a photo… I can vaguely remember pouring rain… for days. But…

From Rags to…
Well, maybe… Maybe… If I could REALLY make it through a day where I could sit on the couch and do NOTHING else, I could either finish that dastardly baby quilt, or the new project… my rag rug. I know… the babies are almost a year old… but the quilt is a use-at-grandma’s-house-only quilt anyway……
Wowza
I’m taking the easy way out tonight, because of this. Supposedly a spider bite. This started last week, and predictably, got worse over the weekend. Thank goodness my doctor said just come in when I called him! So I’m sitting with my foot elevated like I’m supposed to, and I chose to blog through my…
