ROAD TRIP!!! Day 1 - Cody, Wyoming to Laramie, Wyoming

So, with Bliss as the chief photographer — and yours truly as the one-and-only driver — we took off yesterday from Cody. Day one was 350+ miles from Cody to Laramie — in Wyoming fall weather so glorious the smoke from western wildfires was ALMOST a non-issue.

Project Unveil! #awholenewview Part 2

Many of you probably remember the #awholenewview project that we unveiled back in March. You may also recall that, when we unveiled the interior, we were still working on several components of the landscape design, which included an enormous addition to, and complete reconfiguration/redesign of, the existing raised-bed garden.

Wyoming summers are pure BLISS...

I’m the first to admit that it’s been a strange summer — hell, it’s been a strange year! — but sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think of how lucky I am to call this wild and wonderful place my home.

Project Unveil! #mountainviewemergency

One look at this project, and you can tell how much fun it was! The young homeowners were great to work with, and they have a home in a great location with fantastic views. However, the existing configuration of windows wasn’t highlighting the vistas that really make this part of the world special, and the overall feel wasn’t very current.

Project Unveil! #uptowndowntown

I’ve been a bit slow to unveil this project, which was substantially complete in 2019 — but better late than NEVER, right? This was a big one — from start to finish, we worked on this for 21+ months!

March Against Racism -- this isn't over!

Last weekend, on a blustery Sunday typical of early summer in Wyoming, we gathered with hundreds of other community members to march against racism in America. Yes, even in small-town Wyoming, where there is a marked lack of diversity, 500+ people showed up.

Quarantine projects GALORE at Chez Bonner!

During these LONG weeks of social distancing, I’ve found that some days I’m super-productive, and other days I feel like I’m spinning my wheels and not getting anything done. Am I alone here?
