Frustration! Success!

So, here I am at thing 21, and I’m trying to do the exercises in order. But, of course, I can’t exactly keep in order, just in the same way I can’t exactly follow a recipe. So, I explore things that interest me, and find a great little clip of a ewe giving birth to her second lamb. Since that’s all I think about these days, I try to add it to my blog. Wrong blog. Lost the blog. I can do it again later. Go to the clips about libraries. Find a GREAT one, I think, about cookie monster in the library - one I don’t remember. (We used to be faithful watchers of the Muppet Show.) It keeps hanging up in the middle. I WANT TO SEE THE END.

Let’s see what happens here. That doesn’t look right

I can’t believe it worked. I chose this to share because It’s very much what happens in my barn. Only difference - my sheep are sheared. I hope I can be sharing some pictures from my barn soon. As a visitor said recently - she looks like a double-wide.

Here’s a weird thing - I have the sound from that video clip coming while I’m typing this blentry- or is it blontry- or maybe it should be blogentry. No that’s not right. Got to go down and check on the girls.

Nothing yet.

Looking at all these videos. I would love to make a little video of what happened at the library last week. It was spring vacation and we had a three workshop program of signs of spring. ONE We listened for bird songs and made nests. TWO We found bugs in the stream. THREE We went out to draw from nature. Can I do something from a bunch of stills?

And, thank you, Brattleboro Reformer, for that great photo essay. Well, I tried to connect to it, but it’s not anywhere to be found. The Reformer did a full-page spread of our DRAWING FROM NATURE workshop, and even put in a little blurb about the other workshops in the series — and where the funding came from. (Imagine. Having to use words. HUMPHHH.)

Thank you, Winnie Belle Learned Fund.

Here’s the best part. The photographer gave me his card and said ‘Give me a call when you’re doing something like this again.’ Well, we’re ALWAYS doing ’something like this’. I have his card very handy.

So, now I have a few photos on FLIKKR, now all I have to do is arrange for them to be more like a slide show.

Here’s what I’m getting scared about - I’m using these photos I take and I think they’re going out to THE WORLD and I’m just looking and saying ‘what a nice picture.’ and not thinking a whole lot about privacy.

Well, it’s late, and I’m too tired to solve all the problems of the world.

Maybe we’ll have lambs tomorrow.
