Adventures Of Life!

I have had a few people say things like..Are you going to have a He Shack to match? Or where is his shed? Remember the shop... Enuf Said! The delivery was pretty cool! Wish I had brought my camera with me at the start of the drive, it is really tight. Note to selves: No bigger than 10 wide can come down that drive! I mean tight!! If he didn't have such a neat trailer I am afraid it would have taken longer for him to come down the drive. Let me tell ya about that trailer....every possible component on that trailer moved. It had an extra set of wheels that could move it from side to side which came in handy for the drive and setting the shed. He could extend the trailer from the tongue of it by remote no less, so there was only one time he moved the truck. We bought the blocks to go underneath the shed but he placed them. That came with the delivery charge. This is such wet country here that we put plastic under it too so tha...

I thought I better catch up on my updates. First the beading project I have been working on. I did get all three projects off the loom yesterday just need to finish tying the ends up. But here is a pic of the last project (twist) This will be up for sale when I get it finished. I am thinking a barrette. ***************************************************************************** Second the goat pen pics....thanks to Mtn Man for going out to take the pics. I am down under the weather today thinking I caught something from my Inlaws who are terribly sick when we saw them on Sunday. Blah!! ****************************************************************************** Third that snow storm did come through with a vengeance. I have heard in places they have as much as 15" snow drifts! We, however, got about as much as 8". It rained all night Tues. night then Wed about mid day turned to sleet (1/2") then couple hours later turned into big snow flakes unt...

The cabin fever is no gonna hold us down!!   Yesterday started out cold but it did warm up a bit (40's). Things started melting. I went about my business doing chores. I went out to the goat barn with a bit of hay. I like to give them a bit of fresh (as opposed to the round bales they pick through) every other day only because I tend to give them to much. But it ends up being bedding for them too! I do hope this year we can get some hay racks made for the little barn. Anyhoo, I stood and watched like I do and noticed the buck getting a bit more aggressive with the doe. So much so that she was blocking his butts! He kept at it antagonizing her, pushing her off the food. This worried me because she is so close to having little ones that I went to thinkin'! I came back to the house and talked it over with Mtn Man. He was enjoying his pipe in his "forward command center" (His oversized chair on the front porch). We hashed for about 15 mins and we were off! We gathe...

I am looking out the window and white stuff is falling out of the sky, again! I just keep reminding myself that it is February.  I did see a little hope that spring is coming.....despite the snows best effort my daffodil bulbs are popping up everywhere. ****************************************************************************** The other day I ran across something I hadn't seen before. Arm Knitting ! Have you heard of such a thing? I guess it is the new kraze for making infinity scarves and blankets. I watched this video as I am visual kind of person and I caught on quickly. So I went to work making a lap blanket last night only took me two hours. It was fun! I am all fingers and thumbs when it comes to working with needles and hooks. My bio mother tried to teach me on numerous occasions but I just couldn't master the skill whatsoever! This arm knitting I got! After researching it more found more ideas on yarn ( I used what I have plenty of) and what they do with it b...

  The weatherman got it right this time. On top of our 9" of snow we now have a layer of ice about 1/4" thick. Which makes everything pretty but dangerous! We are surrounded by trees in our valley. Lots of cracking and falling going on. Kind of cool to hear! Included in these pics to follow are Mtn Man's version of ice creepers. They work awesome! ***************************************************************************** Current bead project: Toodles!   If you want to leave a COMMENT please EMAIL me (MARYE.MASTERSON@GMAIL.COM) Love hearing from ya!
