Miscellany

Last week was crammed full of fun and business.  Kellie and I had a marvelous time at Pickin' on the Prairie.   As Kellie said everything I wanted to say in her post (and as I didn't take any pictures), you can read her post here.

David Tennant sings.  The end.

Also, I really, really, really want to see Catherine and David in Much Ado About Nothing.  They're so great together.

I went for a lovely little ride on my Bobby boy this morning.  Just hopped on him bareback and took off, with the Bonnie dog trailing along behind.  About 30 minutes later, I remembered why I don't usually ride him bareback without a bareback pad - he's got the most uncomfortable, bony back ever.  I think I'll be walking funny for a few days...but it was so worth it.

Dewey, my bro's horse, has been getting the royal treatment here lately.  He shed the frog (sole) of his hoof, and being the big, flat footed, tender foot that he is, he got sore feet.  (shedding the frog is normal, btw)  Tom, our farrier, recommended soaking his hooves twice a day for a while to prevent abscesses.  So, every morning and evening Dewey's had his front feet soaked.  15 min. per foot in warm water and epsom salts.  He's feeling very special and is definitely on the mend.

As much as I hate to admit it, it's definitely starting to feel and smell like Autumn here.  There's an unmistakable crispness in the morning and evening air.  *cringe*  Noooooo!!!  I love Autumn, it's my favorite season, but I'm not ready for summer to be over yet!  However, I am looking forward to pulling out my sweaters, scarves and hats again.  There's always a bright side:)

My brother was at the fair today selling and signing his books and playing with his Bluegrass band.  He and Christopher (one of my "extra" brothers) came home with pizza and donuts.  We ate them while watching Megamind.  The perfect way to wrap up our day.

Speaking of the fair, I'm looking forward to going this year.  I'd love to catch the rodeo, especially since I haven't gone for the past few years.  The jokes some of the clowns were telling were rather crude and vulgar last time I went, and I haven't been brave enough to go since.  But, I'm feeling brave this year.  I love a good rodeo:)

Happy Trails, y'all!

Wallpaper Wednesday | My Doctor... {vol. 1}

Okay...Wallpaper Wednesday...again.

Is it just me, or does it feel like Wednesday comes around terribly quickly?  Seriously, it feels like it was just yesterday.  No other day of the week does that to me.  Maybe it's the way I have to conciously say wed-nes-day when spelling it.  Maybe because it's the middle of the week.  Maybe because I have to have glorious new wallpapers ready to share with my adoring fans.  *grin*  Or maybe it's a wee bit of all three.  I don't know.  Wow - I think deep thoughts, don't I?  While I'm thinking deep thoughts...does anyone else hate that Blogger works best with Google Chrome?  Because I'm kind of starting to hate Chrome.  It's driving me nuts.  Especially because it doesn't seem quite as compatible with Pinterest.  Or maybe that's just my computer.  Could be.  I think my computer has a secret mission to take over the world...or at least the internet...which is basically taking over the world.  It's in league with Net Nanny.  I'm sure of it.  And I've been watching waaaaayyyy to much Doctor Who, haven't I?

Ahem.  Moving on...

In this wallpaper series, as I said before, I'm focusing on David Tennant as the Doctor (was that a 'squeee' I heard from Alexandra?).  All of those special, quirky, heart breaking, hilarious, brilliant moments that make him our Doctor.  So, without further ado, My Doctor...

{obviously Ten's not the only one with a sonic screwdriver, but boy, can he use it!}

I didn't think it could get any better than the 3D glasses, but I was wrong...

I found the Gallifreyan font here.
.....

And now it's your turn!

What are your favorite Ten moments?

I'll create and share as many My Doctor wallpapers as I can next week:)

A few that I'm hoping to make would be...
My Doctor...runs...a lot.
My Doctor...can play a pipe organ. (from The Lazarus Experiment)
My Doctor...says Allons-y!
.....

Have a marvelous Wednesday, everyone!!

p.s.
These two wallpapers somehow didn't make it into last weeks post...

Wallpaper Wednesday | Doctor Who {vol. 4}

Today is Wednesday.  That fact just now dawned on me.   It's time for Wallpaper Wednesday and Volume 4 of my Doctor Who wallpaper series!  My blogging break was perfect in that it gave me time to finish watching Series 4...three times, actually. *blush* Ahem, yes...and I LOVED every single minute of it!!
The reunion scene between Rose and Ten?  LOVE!!!  My favorite DW scene ever, no question.  And yes, I cried...a lot.  Between the reunion, Donna's tragic departure, and Ten's lonely, sad brown eyes, I was a mess. 


Anyway, I now have some S4 inspired wallpaper, too.  Yay!!

But, we're going to be starting off with this one of Nine and Rose...

Okay, so I LOVE this scene.  I can't even begin to say how much I love this scene.  The Doctor, doing what he's wanted to do since he first meet Rose.  Also, it's one of the best movie kisses I've seen in a long time.

Just sayin'.

.....

.....

This next one...well, it may very well be my favorite.  Ever.

Ahh!  Isn't that just the cutest picture, ever?!  Love it.  Just LOVE it.

I can never get enough of the 3D glasses.  Never, ever...

And a few of Ten and Sarah Jane Smith...

And some random ones...just because:)

Because this part makes me laugh so hard...

I loved Time Crash - the 5th and 10th Doctors together?!  Pretty much awesome.

.....

- all pictures link to their full sized images and will be available on the For You page soon -

And that wraps up Vol. 4 of the Doctor Who series.
I know there are a few requests that I didn't get to, for which I am sorry...so sorry.  I will be making more Doctor Who wallpapers in the future - you can count on that - and will get to those requests then, never fear!  There are just way to many good lines and fantastic scenes in this series to get them all, anyway:)

.....

Next week, I'll be sharing a new series entitled My Doctor, focusing on David Tennant as The Doctor.
*squeal*
I know you're going to love it:)

Happy Trails!

Wallpaper Wednesday | Doctor Who {vol. 3}

Hello everyone!  Wednesday always manages to creep up on me when I'm not expecting it...and when only about 3/4 of the wallpapers I wanted to share are completely finished.  Oh well, all the more for the next week:)

Today we'll begin with John Smith from the two part-er episodes Human Nature and Family of Blood from Season 3.

I can't take credit for the text on this one - I found that quote on Pinterest and just had to use it:)

I have mixed feelings on these episodes.  On the one hand, John Smith was absolutely adorable and his romance with Joan Redfern was so sweet.   BUT...it seriously freaked me out when John Smith didn't want to go back to being The Doctor.  Please tell me I'm not the only one who was freaked out about that!

{in case you're not a Whovian and you're wondering, The Doctor became human (John Smith) for these two episodes in order to evade some aliens.  Time Lords can do that, you know.}

And yes, I sobbed when John Smith was trying to decide whether to forget Joan and go back to being The Doctor or to stay with her forever.  That dream-y sequence where he imagines their life together broke my heart.

.....

Okay, now one of my favorite scenes from The Girl in the Fireplace from Season 2.  LOVED the horse on the spaceship=)

"Stop following me!  I'm not your mummy!"

.....

And now on to Season 4...

Catherine Tate as Donna Noble

I believe I said this before, but I love David Tennant and Catherine Tate together.

They are so funny!!

Thank you, Doctor Who.  Now I know what really happened at Pompeii. ;)

.....

.....

And that's all for this week.

- as usual, all images link to their full sized wallpaper images and are also available on the For You page -

There are so many wonderful scenes and quotes I want to create wallpapers for, but I just can't get to all of them.  So, what are some of your favorite Doctor moments that you'd like to see as wallpapers?
 .....

In other news, I've decided to take a week off from blogging and from the computer in general (except for my Etsy shop) next week.  Which means the last week of the Doctor Who wallpaper series will be the week after next week.  That should give me plenty of time to get all of the wallpapers ready...in theory;)

So Happy Trails y'all and have a fabulous Wednesday!

Miscellany

I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but last week my dad and I stopped by the new Big R store.

*heavenly chorus*

Before they put in this new one the two closest to us were in Sandpoint and Spokane, which are both about an hour away from us.

I LOVE Big R.   They have just about everything you could possibly want for your farm/ranch.  Daddy bought a new pump, while I found a few things that made me giddy with delight.  Namely, a 660 ft. roll of polywire, 20 step-in plastic posts, and a portable fence energizer.   Yeah, you know you're a farm girl when that makes you giddy with delight.  When I got home, I did a happy dance.  Really.  I'm using all of that wonderful stuff to divide our horse pasture in half, and to fence our orchard so the horses can graze there.  Rotational grazing is awesome, folks.

Series 4 of Doctor Who FINALLY came in at the library.  =D  Well, half of Series 4 - they have the series split up into two sets that you request independently of each other.  This, I did not realize until I got the first set, which is discs 1-3.  Oh well.   I'm dreading Ten's regeneration anyway (sobbing), so this puts off the inevitable a wee bit longer.  Right?  Right.
Although...I can't WAIT to see the reunion between Rose and The Doctor!! =D
Anyway, I've been watching and loving the episodes I do have:)

Love, love, love Donna as The Doctor's companion!!  She's brilliant, she really is.  And soooo funny.  Catherine Tate and David Tennant are great together.

And this, is so so true...

And, before you ask, I'm still planning on sharing pics from our Yellowstone trip.  My bro and I took a ton of pics, so I'm still sorting through them and getting ready to edit them.  So...maybe next week.  But no promises...;)

Last week one of my ewes, Sweet Pea, bloated.  Twice.  In one day.  I still have no idea why she bloated, but she did.  I always have baking soda out for the sheep to eat when they need it which usually keeps them from having tummy upsets like that, but for one reason or another that didn't work this time.
So, I dosed her with an elixir consisting of...

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup olive oil
&
2 Tbs. baking soda

Sounds yummy, doesn't it?
She didn't like that much, but I got almost all of it in there.  Then I put a stick in between her teeth, like a bit in a horse's mouth, which made her chew.  The chewing is to get her burping, which fixes the problem.
Thank the Lord, it worked...because the alternative isn't pretty.  Not one bit pretty.

Today, my bro and I checked out a church we'd never been to before.
Grace Bible Church
We know quite a few people who attend church there, so we felt quite at home.  I enjoyed the sermon, which was from 1 Cor. 7, which I happened to be reading this week anyway.  Love it when that happens:)
And I enjoyed the fellowship afterwards.   Alex and I are definitely planning on going again.

And that's about all I can think of at this moment that I wanted to share with you all...although I have this nagging feeling that there was something else that I can't remember.

I hope you all had a blessed Sunday!
