Some folks will do anything to keep from writing.
Today, however, it required a two-pronged approach. First, customers are always good for that kind of procrastination, and today they produced for me in a big way. Most of them found it hard to believe they’d have to wait at least two months before the guys could come replace their flooring. But only one person…

Kitchen Progress
So from time to time folks ask what’s up with my kitchen. We started renovating it last spring just before my nephew got sick and my mom had a stroke, and didn’t get as far along as we’d hoped before summer hit. (Aside: Steve made a complete recovery. My mom spent three months in the…

The house we live in was an accident. It was never meant to be a house, really. My in-laws built it almost thirty years ago as cheap as they could because when their house up north sold, they were going to build their dream house. Meanwhile they had spent the entire summer living in a…

Color Me Amused
Today I’m wearing a cute burgundy short-sleeved knitted top that I paid something like three bucks for at Value Village. I hardly ever wear it, sadly, because it is one of *those* that needs hand washing and laying flat to dry. That rarely happens, so it usually lives at the bottom of my laundry hamper….

For all you artist types…
What do you use for a canvas? Besides, like, real canvas, or the computer monitor… Here’s a couple ideas: You could paint on hands. Or, if that sounds too easy, you could paint on cats. I’m not sure why you’d want to, but you know, you could. Maybe other places too. I dunno.

Awwww . . .
But how do you do tell a baby elk from some other fawn? Looks just like any other Bambi to me!
How are the moo cows doing?
Mama elk was nearby, freaking out (but not near enough for a good photo). Fawn is larger than a deer, and darker along the backbone. Jim figures a day old at most.
Oh, moo cows? Blow me down if old cow #18 didn’t give birth yesterday! Gives 14 calves, 7 of each (the 4 who died were all bulls).
A day old elk calf, the mama’s in sight, and you’re taking pictures? You are gutsy!
Congrats to mama moo cow #18. Hope all the calves continue to do well. Is this a longer birthing season than usual, or does it just seem that way?
(Have a great trip, by the way.)
Mama elk was hanging back, and we had the atv for the quick getaway.
Seems like every year we have a June calf. Some of the cows are getting old and don’t *catch* as easily as they used to. I’d given up on this one.
