While I watched Vernon continue to rejuvenate the Double Crossing, I wandered a bit. The day was warm with the snow melting away. I tossed my jacket layer onto the side by side as I had overdressed. A few steps further and I noticed tracks. They had melted and were fairly indistinguishable. All I had…

Brush Clearing
After Vernon cleaned up the old buildings, he turned to cleaning up some brush. This area has been known as the Double Crossing since teams and wagons had to ford the Nowood River twice in this spot. When I first came here, riding your horse through this brush was doable. Sure, some areas were thicker…
Wool Bag
With a wool needle felting class coming up, I’ve decided to continue playing with wool projects… This bag was gifted to me years ago and it’s been hanging out in my wool bag ever since. I added a sunset… Then a few aspen trees… It’s not quite complete, but it’s close!
The Disappeared
How to describe those things that are gone? The silver granary that guarded the gate. Armored and at attention, but no longer filled with grain, he watched countless times as horses were led from the barn and cows were trailed past. Wagons and Ram Trucks, rattling horse trailers, dogs at heel, they filled all his…
Reminiscing XIII
Stories from James Greet: By the time I had reached my teens, I was doing a lot of riding. There were various cattle roundups, and also, it was usually my job to bring home the strays. Often , I would be gone for days at a time. One year we got word that we had…
Throwback Thursday: Lovely Day, v.2.0
I was just talking about this the other day, wondering if I should do it again… or paint on the door… I like painting on our front doors. I did neither. So here it is for Throwback Thursday instead! This was first published February 14, 2014. Love your library! On this Valentine’s Day… I hope…
Wordless Wednesday: Barn Wood

PAP
It was another gorgeous day and I wandered down to the corral to give a hand to Daniel as he PAP tested his bulls and cows. Not that he needed me, but it was an excuse to get out and about. PAP testing, if you remember my other posts on it, measures Pulmonary Arterial Pressure….
Romeo Romeo
I’d like to introduce Romeo. I took Indy and Bravo to meet him. No, he’s not an English Shepherd. He’s a Corgi. Romeo belongs to Brandon and Megan and Lorelei and Quinlan. He’s a definite cutie… I do believe he’ll fit right in…
Creative
I finished up a diamond dot picture today… this one appealed because of the balsamroot and lupine look of the piece. I do like the look of diamond dots… though there isn’t much creativity in the process. For those of you who are unfamiliar with dotting… it’s much like paint by number. A sticky canvas…
Another Visit to MMW
We recently headed to Buffalo and Sheridan, part meeting and part shopping trip. I had Vernon swing by the Wool Mill of Mountain Meadow Wool. It’s a favorite stop of mine… and I’ve written about it before. In a few weeks, I’ll be teaching a needle felting class, and needed some supplies. We will be…
Reminiscing XII
Stories from James Greet. ”One of the remarkable stories that dad told was about a mute range cow that they had in their herd. She would have a calf every spring. During the spring roundup one year, this cow didn’t seem to have her calf with her. This meant that her calf was left on…
