The Cheyenne County Fair is this week. For some people that means nothing, but for a 4-H family like us, those two words mean a lot.
A lot of work, that is. Some of it is rewarding. My work is to volunteer as the superintendent of the open fancy work dept. It is a job my grandmother did for years and years. Now that she is gone, somehow the work just fell to Cherokee and I. I think the best part of it all is having time to knit while I wait for people to bring entries in.
Mom's work is bigger. As our 4-H club leader, she has to organize and direct almost everything...or so it seems at times.
So...I'm off to clean tables and rot like that. Hopefully it will rain and bring us some relief from the tormenting heat.

About Me
- Millie
- My grandparents met and were married here on the prairies where my great grandfather became the first rancher to own electricity and telephone in our county. He kept cattle and she kept the house (dirt floor) and the children (7). Three generations later I am creating artwork inspired by this heritage and using the skills my grandmother taught me when I learned to knit at age seven. This blog is my space to reflect on the processes of creativity and explore how our roots intersect with a modern life.

Psalm 69:13
But as for me, my prayer is to you
O LORD.
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast
love, answer me in your saving
faithfulness.
