Rainy Day Catch-Up

Yesterday was a blazing in the 90s and the humidity was positively insane, with dewpoints in the lower 80s. This is a real rarity for here, but with all the rain water and the corn transpiration (corn sweat) it was bound to happen sooner or later.  The atmosphere felt like it was ready to snap all day.  Finally at 2am it did.

Vivid spider lightning flashed and crawled across the sky.  The thunder roared and shook the house.  It's still raining, just enough to keep the hens and alpacas inside, all too delicate to get their tiny toes damp.  (Although spray them down with a hose to cool them off and the first thing they do is roll in the mud.)  The silly things.

I've spent the day inside catching up on computer and house work.  The housework is your normal array of drudgery.  The computer work is bright, and cheerful, albeit frustrating when technology makes things take twice as long as they really should.

I've loaded the newest  photos onto my FineArtAmerica page.  If you haven't visited recently, please drop in when you get the chance.  The range of items that the images can be put on is crazy; phone cases, framed-canvas-metal, and wood art, towels, yoga mats, shower curtains, notebooks, tote bags, and so much more!

I've also re-vamped the etsy.com shop to combine all the things that come from the ranch.  We are now Gnome Gnome On The Range!  While the shop is currently not stocked, I will be adding home woven tea towels, Woven Scandinavian bands-belts-and trims,  one of a kind pairs of custom pillowcases, Pure Nebraska Honey from our bees, and Koselig Yarn, 100% alpaca, from our own alpaca herd.

As soon as our weather slows me down again I'll be adding things to the sale site.

Thanks for visiting!
