Thanks, you.
☆ November 19, 2012
This month has kicked my ass and before I transfer the violence,
I’m taking the week to recoup and will be offline. But! It ain’t all bad!
There’s also a lot to be grateful for, like youuuu…….
I’m putting together a “thanks for existing” care package
which will include a calendar, postcards, a 5×7 print of this image, an antler necklace, my favorite bath salts, a gorgeous giant turkey feather,
and probably some other stuff ~
which I will be mailing to one of you next week.
Just leave a comment to enter this drawing ~
I’ll pick the lucky number based on the following equation:
how many icicles I find on my house multiplied by
how many pieces they shatter into when I bang them off the gutters
divided by the number of goose-honks I hear as the flocks fly by.
AND, for anyone and everyone, ALL items in the Shop are on sale this week.
~ EVERYTHING will be 10% off for the next SIX DAYS ~
Just enter the code THANKS during checkout
now through Sunday!

You are amazing!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:47 am
Enjoy your time away from your stresses but don’t just relax………PLAY……. and then relax, far more effective!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:48 am
A coyote care package would be a great pick-me-up right about now… My grandmother passed away last night, which was really the cherry on top of an already awful month. I’m determined that my family still have a good holiday season, though, and I’m trying to stay focused on all the good things in my life that I am so thankful for.
Happy holidays and best wishes to you and the farmily. Keep being awesome and inspiring!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:52 am
I hope your week offline is peaceful and refreshing. :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:53 am
Thank you for writing one of my favorite blogs and posting some of the best photographs around!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:54 am
Can’t hurt. :)
Glad to hear the worst is past. If it helps to know, there’s one hell of a sunset here in Germany this afternoon.
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:55 am
Give all your kids a hug and kiss from all of us in Cambridge. Enjoy your downtime.

Thanks to you and the Farmly for sharing your special world.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:00 am
I’m ever so glad I found your book not long after it was published. From day one I felt as if I knew you, and Charlie, due to your writing talent. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:02 am
Just like you, to think of us when going through hard days. Thank you for you.

I am leaving my comment and waiting for the goose to honk. Thank you for sharing such lovely posts with us all. Happy Thanksgiving!

November 19th, 2012 @ 9:05 am
You rock!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:06 am
Warm and Fuzzy Holidays Always….

November 19th, 2012 @ 9:10 am
Your website is the first thing I look at every weekday. Starts my day off right to know that someone is living the dream. Thanks to you for sharing!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:10 am
Thanks for this blog. It always makes me happy when I’m feeling less than 100%.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:15 am
Thank you for your stories and pictures which always remind me how wonderful it is to spend time outdoors with the people and animals we love.

happy thanksgiving

November 19th, 2012 @ 9:35 am
Been reading a lot about wolves after a visit to Yellowstone. They are huge compared to our local coyotes but some of the predator behavior is similar.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:36 am
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the Farmily!!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:37 am
I so look forward to you being back on line. You feed my soul.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:40 am
Sorry you’ve had a tough week. Glad you’ll be unplugged for a bit.
Thanks for thinking of US! I’m sure I can speak for everyone posting when I say – THANK YOU!
Each post renews my spirits and changes my perspective.
Best wishes!!!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:41 am
Hope you have a lovely mini-vacation, Shreve. Your blog never fails to make me smile, laugh, or think. Thank you!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:42 am
I envy you your downtime. I’m just getting geared up for the holiday invasion ;) Happy Thanksgiving to you and the Farmily!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:43 am
Sorry to hear it’s been rough, but breaking icicles violently should help get you through!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:44 am
Thank you! You inspire me all the time in so many ways–to be creative, to eat right, to work out, to do things that make me happy, and to keep it simple. Have a great Thanksgiving.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:46 am
It sounds like a break will do you good. Enjoy!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:49 am
Hope you have a week of rejuvenation! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mike and the farmily!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:50 am
Thanks back to you, for sharing your unique life.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:51 am
Okay, something about the goosehonk thing and you’re even more of my “real” life, (cyber life?) Sissy Hankshaw. Remember, you are in a state of grace, at one with the rhythms of the universe. Much love, soul sista.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:56 am
Ha! You are too funny! I’ll be in Cheyenne for Christmas and will be thinking of you and the farmily. I’ve actually been through Ten Sleep when my sister lived in Gillette, and we drove through the Big Horns and then up to Cody. So beautiful!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:56 am
A long soak in your tub while sipping wine and looking at the stars might help a bit. That is if it is not too cold to do so.
Have a relaxing week with your farmily.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:56 am
Hope you recover. Change of routine is very good sometimes!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:57 am
You are a sweet one. Happy Thanksgiving to you & the farmily!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:58 am
I’ve learned so much from your book and from your websites. coyotes are magnificent, intelligent creatures and I feel like Charlie is mine, too. I print his pictures and have them in an album that I look through when I need a lift. He just makes me happy :) thanks!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:59 am
Thank you!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:59 am
I love your posts and your “family.” Thank you for living this life and sharing it with us!

November 19th, 2012 @ 10:22 am
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Shreve. I enjoy the pictues of Charlie that you send out via e-mail. I’ve followed Charlie for years, ever since I discovered him while doing a research project for one of my veterinary techology school classes. Please give Charlie an extra treat this holiday…I am thankful that you’ve shared him with the world.
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:24 am
I hope I win; I hope I win!!!! More importantly though I hope you have better times coming to you. And I received my 2013 Charlie calendar on Thursday last week. It is STUNNING as always :)

For the reminders about being true to your passions and your core being. And for your willingness to share those things with us.
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:37 am
Peace. Please let there be peace! With much love.
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:37 am
So sorry about your ass-kicking month. Here’s to hoping that next month will be found kissing it.
Thank you for another year of inspiring posts. I enjoy spending a few moments each day living vicariously through your ingenuity and courage. Please give a Thanksgiving pat to your farmily for me.
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:37 am
I love your antler necklaces!

I love the equation. Peace to you!
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:49 am
It sounds like you have more cold than we do, and we’re all the way up against the Arctic Circle’s edge. Have a warm and cozy winter!
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:50 am
Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy your week offline!

November 19th, 2012 @ 11:59 am
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:03 pm
Shreve, Enjoy you’re week off. I believe everybody needs to take time away from work and the internet. When they’re combined, it’s even more important. Relax and enjoy your Farmily.

Yay! Thank YOU! Buying the Charlie calendar has been on my mind for about a week. Maybe I’ll just do that anyway :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:16 pm
I’m so thankful that I found your blog and that you found where you belong and your wonderful farmily. Best wishes to you and have a terrific thanksgiving. :)
p.s. I love that your equation is so discriptive of where you are. Great combination of math and language.:)
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:22 pm
I’ll pass along the salutation I just got from a crazy dude on the street: Happy Thanksgiving… bitch.
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:24 pm
I love the way you think! Enjoy your week. I am thankful to you and all the wisdom you share. Have a great week!
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:30 pm

November 19th, 2012 @ 12:33 pm
Oh, and thank you….
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:36 pm
Thank YOU for the blog, for the awesomeness of Charlie presented through your photos and writing, and for being there to inspire us.
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:41 pm
Thank you for your blog and what you share, and the little bits I’ve been able to discover about myself by reading what you write :o)
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:42 pm
Woo!! One of my favorite images, he is SO DAMN CUTE!!! Enjoy your week off, kiss the cows for us!
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:44 pm
Have a good week off Shreve!
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:52 pm
Hope you are able to have a nice Thanksgiving!! We visited your area of the country during the summer of 2011. It is so beautiful! Love it.
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:53 pm
Yes, thank you!
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:58 pm
Goosehonks.
I miss Ricardo.
Violence? That you want to do in frustration rather than done to you I hope.
I’m thankful for this blog I can visit to share in your life.
I am grateful for a freezer full of meat. Well, not as full as it was as I’ve been enjoying it.
I’m honored you have let us share Charlie’s life through your eyes. And the rest of the farmily too.
November 19th, 2012 @ 12:58 pm
Thanks to you! I love reading your posts and seeing the new pictures of Charlie, it has become a morning ritual :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:05 pm
I am thankful I found your blog a few years back now…I truly enjoy it, so thank you!
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:06 pm
I love your formula to calculate the winner! Thanks for sharing.
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:09 pm
Awesome! Thank you for existing. This blog is a wonderful gateway and escape. Also…my dog (and now my girlfriend’s dog) still love the elk antler I bought a year ago and it barely looks like it’s been gnawed on.
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:10 pm
Taking care of yourself is so important. Recoup, relax, recharge. See you soon. :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:10 pm
Thanks for the opportunity for the goodies – I love the Grab & Stab I bought a few months ago!
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:11 pm
Love the equation! But as a scientist, I notice a very big variable regarding the picking process that you didn’t address – the time of you will be doing your calculation. Time of day is related to temperature (but the time is the variable that you can control) and this could significantly affect not only the number of icicles, but the breaking properties of the ice and the activity levels of the geese. I guess I’ll just post a comment now, since I can’t calculate a good comment number given the existing information. :)
Thanks for all your photos and posts! It makes for a good break during the day.
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:12 pm
thank you for providing such a wonderful place to turn to in good times and bad. love to you and all of yours.
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:12 pm
Can’t wait to read the results of this month’s hard work! Thanks for the care package!
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:23 pm
Yay for you! and Yay for Charlie! Thanks for all the great photos and thoughts :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:24 pm
Thanks right back atcha, Shreve. Enjoy your hiatus!
(May I say your equation made my brain cramp? You just invented nature geekery.)
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:25 pm
Not my best month either. Reading your website cheers me up!

I can’t wait to read what you were writing on this month! Totally understand your needing some time off – working over 40 hours a week and living alone while the hubs is on a *ahem* business trip several time zones away until March and a computer that decided to die the day before NaNoWriMo meant that I’m still only in the outlining/brainstorming of mine. Here’s to next year!
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:30 pm
Love
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:33 pm
I love coming here each day. :-)
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:35 pm
Enjoy your recoup!!! Take care!
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:44 pm
All I know to say is Here’s a big ole hug to you and all yours. Sometime’s a hug helps.
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:47 pm
I am glad to hear that you are taking some time for yourself. We all need that! Happy Turkey Day to you and yours. Enjoy!
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:50 pm
I love your formula for selecting the winner! My thanks go to you for enriching my life with your blogs.
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:56 pm
What a fun way to pick a winner! I’m sending my love to all the farmily. Happy Thanksgiving!! (P.S. I volunteer at a therapeutic horse riding center, and Fred, our barn cat, looks like Eli’s brother! I bet they’d be thick as thieves if they lived in the same state.)
November 19th, 2012 @ 1:59 pm
I love your way of choosing the winner. :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:06 pm
Thanks for sharing your days with us. I’ve grown to love the Farmily over the years, and wish you all a safe & happy & healthy winter. Peace & love!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:06 pm
I just have to comment just because I love your equation….Have fun counting the shattered icicle pieces and have a wonderful Turkey day!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:30 pm
Have a good week off!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:32 pm
Glad that you are taking a break when you need it. Some people do not have that skill.
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:33 pm
As always, thanks for sharing your beautiful life!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:43 pm
Enjoy your vacation!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:50 pm
Thank you for the great blog posts and enjoy your time off. I’m looking forward to a few days of R&R, too!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:51 pm
Thanksgiving blessings to you and the Farmaliy.
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:51 pm
I don’t think you would send that package over to Europe, but nevertheless wanted to say thank YOU for sharing your life with all it’s ups and downs with us! You are truly inspirational to me and I’m grateful for this.
Alle the best from Germany!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:52 pm
Hope you Mike and the Farmily have a wonderful holiday!
November 19th, 2012 @ 2:56 pm
You (and your beautiful animals) inspire me in so many ways. Thank you.
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:01 pm
Hi, Im not normally one to leave comments on any blogs but I am a fan of yours! Your book keeps coming back to me to read in moments when I need to create space in my mind. I think on myself sitting in the red dirt looking out to nothing but space ~ thank you for that x
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:04 pm
You are so nice to have this drawing. That picture of tiny Charlie leaves me speechless. Happy Thanksgiving!
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:06 pm
Thank you so much for sharing pics and excerpts of your life! You definitely have earned a break!!! Have a beautiful, farmily filled Thanksgiving!!!
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:06 pm
Thank us? Thank YOU! But I know the feeling. It’s impossible not to be thankful for the people who read and enjoy what you post and make what you do possible, right? You’re the best though and I’m so glad you’re here, sharing pieces of your life and Charlie every day.
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:08 pm
I say send the care package to Maya #24. She sounds like she could use a little TLC of her own over there.
This reminds me of when I was a kid at the Queen Mary with my mom. I was bored and acting up and she told me if I wanted something to do to go count the bolts on the hull of the ship :-)
Have a great holiday and stay warm. Thanks for posting your great adventures for the rest of us stuck in the city.
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:13 pm
Have a great week off!!!
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:14 pm
First off… THANK YOU for all you do and for sharing your life through Charlie. I so look forward to your photos everyday.
-D’Ann
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:14 pm
enjoy your break…
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:18 pm
We’ll be waiting. Love and light from Jackson! x
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:21 pm
My day is not quite complete without a little farmily and Shreve news!
Thanks.
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:23 pm
That picture of Charlie is my favorite! He is SSOOO cute. Speedy recovery, happy THANKSgiving. We all have so much to thank for. I love geese. Their honking makes me smile. I miss Ricardo.
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:32 pm
Sounds like a complicated equation….hoping it comes up lucky for me :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:33 pm
This Thanksgiving I will be giving thanks for you and your life in Wyoming, all the aspects of it. …you have been a tremendous positive in my life ever since I found the book and you. You make me smile to know that someone is “out there” living the life that I always dreamed of and hope to still have someday.
You are such a strong remarkable woman and your writings and pictures make me smile every day.
Happy Thanksgiving, Shreve…now get some rest and I can’t wait to get my hands on your new book.
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:34 pm
My husband the engineer says the elements of your equation constitute random inputs. :-) Thank YOU, Shreve, for the joy and delight in life that you express and that you share with all of us. Blessings.
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:38 pm
Happy Thanksgiving to you, and all of your farmily ! Thanks for making my day a little brighter !
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:43 pm
Geese in the air, rain on the roof,
Weather gone freezing, mix me a proof.
Don’t fix on your numbers, jiggle them around
To equate with my story, then cement them by sound,
by sky, by migration, and whatever might lack,
to grant me my wish for that lovely care pack!
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:49 pm
What a sweet post. I can’t tell you how much inspiration your work has brought to my little world!
November 19th, 2012 @ 3:52 pm
I love reading about your adventures and about your farmily. Please know that you are an inspiration and I just LOVE your photos.
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:05 pm
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Enjoy and RELAX!!!
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:06 pm
It has been a hard month for me too! Hope you have a restful week off. And please pick me! :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:10 pm
Uh, that’s quite a mathematical equation! :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:10 pm
Existing is enjoyable, compared the the alternative :D
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:15 pm
Thank you for your inspiring and creative posts!
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:16 pm

November 19th, 2012 @ 4:16 pm
This is lovely! Thank-you.
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:17 pm
Rest well! I will look forward to your return.
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:17 pm
i’m never disappointed when i come upon your blog. even if there isn’t a new post, i wander through some old ones and get this great feeling like i just spend a restorative weekend…., my skin feels fresher, i feel absolutely gorgeous in just jeans, scrubbed skin and a denim shirt, i want to plant seasonal vegetables and i indulge in a lot of small kisses onto the face of my little boy. And bake something with gingerbread spices. You inspire!
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:28 pm
hope things are looking up soon. You and the farmily have brightened a lot of my days.
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:30 pm
C’mooooooooonnnnn Geese Honks! I hope your days get better–yes, take a break. It’s good for ya.
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:33 pm
Thanks Shreve for all you do for us – every day! Have a super productive week of writing, and Happy Thanksgiving !
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:39 pm
Enjoy your time off and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:44 pm
Aww, thank YOU for opening my eyes to your beautiful world.
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:45 pm
i love reading your blog, and your photography blows me away, it’s so gorgeous. thanks for doing all you do!
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:48 pm
Have a happy Thanksgiving Shreve.
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:49 pm
Thank you, Shreve — and may we continue to be able to live vicariously through your eyes and life for years and years to come!
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:49 pm
Hi Shreve…One of the things I’m thankful for this year is amazing YOU and all you do. From the delicious meat you provided to the cute and funny pics of Charlie and your farmly (love that sunset pup pic!), the insightful posts and twitter comments, the jewelry you make, and all the life and experiences you share. Yours is the first sight I check when getting on the computer daily. Thank you for being YOU!! P.S. My cow bank is getting fat! LOL <3
November 19th, 2012 @ 4:57 pm
I used to have fun with the icicles growing up in Truckee Ca. We used to break them off and use them as popsicles when we did our homework in front of the blazing fireplace !! Have a great holiday and enjoy the rest.
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:01 pm
Dankie (=Thanks in Dutch) for being there, not only for me but for so many others
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:06 pm
Thanks so much – I have enjoyed your blog for many years. Have a great holiday. As an aside: it would be nice to be able to get your beef east of the Mississippi: I live in OHIO of all places. (even have a coyote in our neighborhood – an urban dweller in Worthington OH – I have seen it.
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:09 pm
Thanks! Enjoy your peaceful week off
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:10 pm
Did I just hear an icicle come crashing down? HONK!
Have a peaceful time with all your creatures great and small, and that cowboy. xo
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:11 pm
Whatever you accomplish this month, you were brave to try to tackle it; I was to scared to even attempt NaNoWriMo!
I wish you the best luck and mountains of happiness!
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:26 pm
I never win anything, but here’s to hoping the geese honks will help me out this time….
best to you and the farmily.
xo Jo
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:36 pm
Happy Thanksgiving, Shreve & Farmily!!! Thank YOU for sharing your life stories with all of us… and for giving me a daily escape to my dream life in Wyoming.
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:41 pm
Thanks for the glimps into your world.
November 19th, 2012 @ 5:43 pm

Thanks for the chance to win a package! Happy thanksgiving to you and your farmily :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
Hope you have a restful week & enjoy some time in nature. Nature always relaxes me. Happy Thanksgiving! Oh, & I really hope that I win b/c I LOVE that picture of Charlie & have wanted a necklace for a while. The contents of that care package rock!
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
Happy Thanksgiving! You are Amazing!
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:23 pm
Enjoy your time off. Do you ever just run into the wilderness and scream at the top of your lungs? That seems like it would be very relaxing.
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:30 pm
Thanks for being a real “mensch.” Not a lot of people are real for various reasons, and you take a chance and ARE.
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:39 pm
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us. Enjoy your time offline.
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:42 pm
Thanks for the giveaway! Always look forward to hearing farmily updates! :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:44 pm
Happy Thanksgiving to you! Enjoy your week off!
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:44 pm
That’s one of my favourite pictures of Charlie. :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:46 pm
November has been crappy over here too. Hope it gets better for everyone!
November 19th, 2012 @ 6:54 pm
Thanks for you!
November 19th, 2012 @ 7:10 pm

November 19th, 2012 @ 7:17 pm
No, thank YOU for existing!
November 19th, 2012 @ 7:47 pm
Thank YOU, Shreve. You have no idea how much your website(s) have helped me. Happy Thanksgiving.
November 19th, 2012 @ 7:48 pm
Shreve, thank you for the inspiration every day.
November 19th, 2012 @ 7:56 pm
Enjoy your time off! Love!
November 19th, 2012 @ 7:56 pm
Checking in on the pictures of Charlie is one of my favorite moments of the day. Your ability to capture his personality shines with every photo. Thank you for sharing your unique life with all of us.
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:10 pm
All right, I’m in. Enjoy your break!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:32 pm
Thanks to you, love your blog, charlie, and the farmily!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:36 pm
Thank you for your wonderful, gorgeous, beauty-filled words and pictures. Enjoy your battery-charge time away!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:38 pm
Everyone needs a break every now and then, especially with as much work as you do. Rest well!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:42 pm
Thank you for sharing your farmily and beautiful photographs.
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:43 pm
Thank you for being wiling to share some of your life with us!
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:49 pm
Ok, I haven’t done anything to deserve thanks–but I couldn’t resist entering after reading your formula for picking the winner.
That’s hilarious!
Thank YOU!
Eileen
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:53 pm
Shreve you are amazing. When the world is kicking my ass I just want to put on my jammies, eat comfort food, and wish it would all go away. You, on the other hand, send a care package to one of your readers. It’s too bad more people (myself included) aren’t like you. We should all strive to do for others when we’re feeling bad.
November 19th, 2012 @ 8:58 pm
I am amazed at your spirit, Shreve, your kindness and openness to others, and that you might consider me as one of your potentials for receiving such an awesome gift. Thank you – I LOVE the photo of Charlie as a young’un. And in terms of the answer to your question, well, it’s probably in the hundreds. BTW, I love honking geese!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:02 pm
I’m thankful for all your BEAUTIFUL photos that you share with us! Have a lovely week!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:05 pm
You are such an inspiration.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:05 pm
Have a great week off. Everyone needs time away!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:08 pm
We left our Wyoming home for a few weeks in the Midwest. I enjoy your blog and the pictures!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:15 pm
Shreve I am so thankful that YOU exist! You are a beautiful being and have given me much hope in my own dreams :) Keep pushing through the last week or two of NaNoWriMo!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:23 pm
Thanks to you and the Farmily. You are a daily part of my routine. Love new posts.
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:38 pm
Thanks Shreve! Great idea, doing for others when you’re not in a good mood – that’s when I bake and deliver the goodies to friends and co-workers.
Have a great week off!
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:50 pm
This is brilliant; I adore you! And that picture of Charlie is just too much…
November 19th, 2012 @ 9:55 pm
You are an inspiration to me
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:05 pm
thank YOU for sharing the farmily!
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:07 pm
Thanks so much! Get plenty of rest… you deserve it! :)
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:07 pm
Take care!
Hmm..and here’s to hoping the geese say relatively quiet…
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:15 pm
Hope it kicked your ass in a productive way!
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:17 pm
thankful for YOU sharing Charlie!
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:44 pm
I will echo the chorus of gratitude and thank you for being the inspiring individual that you are.
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:48 pm
Thank *you* for opening your life and heart to all of us, so that we can live vicariously through your adventures (and be inspired to seek out and live our own adventures)!
November 19th, 2012 @ 10:57 pm
Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your life with us!
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:24 am
Thank you to you, Charlie, Daisy, dear departed Ricardo and All for brightening and inspiring my life on a Daily Coyote basis.
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:27 am
I had a waking dream the other day of a clear glass jar on my desk filled with feathers.
I would welcome a photo of all the journals you filled up this month writing your book by hand.
I really got off track with NaNoWriMo, but found lots of inspiration and am finding myself settling into a nice daily regiment of long writing sessions. It’s a really nice feeling finally making this happen.
I can’t wait to read your new book.
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:37 am
Thank you for the words you’ve written, and the ones you’ve yet to write :)
November 20th, 2012 @ 1:08 am
Woot!
November 20th, 2012 @ 1:11 am
Enjoy your week! And thank for being so considerate in offering a care package. Such fun!
November 20th, 2012 @ 1:39 am
Enjoy your time off!! We,(meaning me), will be here when you get back.
November 20th, 2012 @ 1:52 am
You give out so much I’m sure at least as much comes back to you… Enjoy your rest.
November 20th, 2012 @ 1:57 am
Thanksgiving blessings to all of you!
November 20th, 2012 @ 2:12 am
I can’t lose, there are icicles involved. Happy holiday!
November 20th, 2012 @ 2:52 am
I wrote two songs this week. It feels like years since I’ve written this much. First step into my terrifying/exciting solo career. Tired of letting fear of failure stop me. You are an inspiration, so thanks!
November 20th, 2012 @ 5:43 am
Thank you, too!!!
November 20th, 2012 @ 5:44 am
May your week offline be refreshing and restorative … enjoy!!
November 20th, 2012 @ 5:45 am
Thanks foe sharing your farmily and enjoy your recharging time.
November 20th, 2012 @ 5:46 am
For, not foe :)
November 20th, 2012 @ 6:27 am
Thank you for sharing your Farmily with us. Have a great holiday!
November 20th, 2012 @ 6:35 am
Thanks for the ray of sunshine you and your farmily add to so many people’s lives every day!
November 20th, 2012 @ 6:40 am
Love to see your pictures and read your words. Don’t think I have a prayer,but sure would love the turkey feather. :)
November 20th, 2012 @ 6:44 am
I think Charlie is so precious in that print!
November 20th, 2012 @ 6:54 am
Thanks for all you share. I hope you find it gratifying and/or encouraging (and not scary)to know that someone who’s been around many more years than yourself, often looks to your posts for insight and inspiration and a bit of joy. Thanks again and best wishes always to you, Mike, and the Farmily.
November 20th, 2012 @ 6:57 am
Enjoy your hiatus. We will be waiting patiently for your return. :) Happy Thanksgiving to you and the farmily!
November 20th, 2012 @ 7:33 am
Thank you Shreve:)Have a great week off line…
November 20th, 2012 @ 8:28 am
Thanks for all the wonderful pictures and stories you share! Enjoy your time off line and have a great Thanksgiving!
November 20th, 2012 @ 8:35 am
…and I join the ‘sisterhood’ in saying, “enjoy your well deserved respite.”
November 20th, 2012 @ 8:55 am
Will miss you Shreve, happy Thanksgiving, look forward to your return x
November 20th, 2012 @ 9:02 am
Awww…take some down time, Shreve. Commune with your farmily, cuddle with someone furry, sleep. Have a happy Thanksgiving…and thank YOU for all you do!
And that is my favorite Charlie print. :o)
November 20th, 2012 @ 9:06 am
I am humbled by your courage. More Eli in 2013!
November 20th, 2012 @ 9:09 am
I like the way you do math.
November 20th, 2012 @ 9:51 am
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!
November 20th, 2012 @ 9:53 am
That’s one of my favorite photos! You are a blessing to so many of us. Thank you, Shreve.

I always look forward to your blog updates and photos of the Farmily. They always put a smile on my face when I’m having a bad day. o(^▽^)o
November 20th, 2012 @ 11:29 am
Go scratch some bull balls!
November 20th, 2012 @ 11:40 am
The photo is SO wonderful.
November 20th, 2012 @ 11:49 am
Thank you for existing, too. And thanks for sharing so much of yourself, your life and your world view with us. You and Charlie and your whole farmily have given me a whole new perspective. :)
November 20th, 2012 @ 11:56 am
Thanks for being one of the few who thanks others when they feel beat down. So rare these days since many people seem preoccupied with taking care of themselves. And thanks for sharing so many wonderful moments with all of us “out here”.
November 20th, 2012 @ 11:59 am
Thank you for this wonderful blog! And that picture of Charlie is the sweetest ever.
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:00 pm
Enjoy your week off!
I have likewise been trying to write the 50K words and am woefully behind and exhausted.
You deserve a break!
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:16 pm
Blessings, warmth and light this week. Hopefully you won’t be doing more counting and math versus writing the next few days!
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:18 pm
wish me luck!
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:22 pm
I do loooove that photo of baby Charlie…happy holidays, Shreve and farmily! :)
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:32 pm
Pick my number, random universe!!!! LOL
xox to you Shreve….and Happy Thanksgiving!
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:35 pm
I love the idea of “thanks for existing!”
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:39 pm
Got my Baby Buddha necklace in the mail. Love it!
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:39 pm
Happy Thanksgiving to you! Thank you for all that you share – inspiring words, amazing photos and beautiful creations from your shop. Best to you and yours.
November 20th, 2012 @ 12:45 pm
Wonderful! May you recuperate quickly from your exhausting month!
November 20th, 2012 @ 1:02 pm
My wish for you is to have a LONG nap under a warm eiderdown with all of the babes, including Eli, snuggling with you to let you know how
thankful they are that they have your shared life. A great big hug from each of them.
November 20th, 2012 @ 1:02 pm
Happy Turkey, I mean Tuesday! har har, my joke of the day. I hope you’re enjoying your time off and are able to relax (and enjoy being relaxed!)

November 20th, 2012 @ 2:34 pm
Love your blog! I too have a farmily in the wild west! Horses, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, lizard, guinea pig, and of course cows. I breed cutting horses and have a couple of foals on the way! they all go to ranching and cutting show homes.
:)
Kristin

Wow! Well I hope that equation equals ME! Thanks Shreve & Happy Thanksgiving… enjoy your break!
p.s. That is my FAVORITE picture of Charlie.
November 20th, 2012 @ 3:06 pm
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy taking a few days off. :)
November 20th, 2012 @ 3:10 pm
Awesome! Enjoy your holiday! Dress warm, and give Daisy a kiss on the nose for me.
November 20th, 2012 @ 3:12 pm
And thank you!
Congratulations to whoever wins. :)
November 20th, 2012 @ 3:56 pm
I’ve learned so much reading your blog — about life, about being female, about getting what you want out of life. Thank YOU!
November 20th, 2012 @ 4:30 pm
Thanks to you too! What a fun idea.
November 20th, 2012 @ 4:32 pm
Hi, Shreve,
I’m sorry to hear the month has been ass-kicking. But I am more concerned by your reference to violence. I pray with all my heart that your old stalker has not resurfaced.
When you are ready, please let us know what happened – or at least that you are all right.
In the meantime, I wish you and Mike and all the Farmily a blessed and joyous Thanksgiving.
Sending hugs and love to you all,
Theresa
November 20th, 2012 @ 4:37 pm
Fortunately life and the world are full of constant change. I wish you and yours favorable winds of change. Thanks for your daily gifts of writing and photography.
November 20th, 2012 @ 4:40 pm
Thanks for motivating me to back up my NaNoWriMo! And for motivating me to do it in the first place! :-)
November 20th, 2012 @ 4:55 pm
You are my respite during the day from the office!
November 20th, 2012 @ 4:58 pm
Thanks Shreve!
November 20th, 2012 @ 5:01 pm
ooh i am #352 so 352 times a zillion icicles times how many pieces they broke into, times the dew drops they became is how many times i have enjoyed to the deepest of my soul your sharing Charlie with us all. Your photos are so beyond words yet so many of these wonderful people say just what i would want to say about them!! Thanks is what i am trying to say!!
November 20th, 2012 @ 5:39 pm
You’re beautiful and wonderful! Keep on swimmin!

You have so many amazing fans/followers. think that speaks volumes about you. I find myself wondering what a Shreve Fan Club Convention would look like :D
Happy Thanksgiving
November 20th, 2012 @ 7:23 pm
So so so sorry about the nasty-ass month you have had so far. Hope it has not been truly violent. You deserve nothing but Zen, Peace and Fabulousness.
You are an amazing inspiration to so many of us! We surround you with a huge circle of love.
Hope you do have a fun Thanksgiving with mr M and the beloved Farmily.
November 20th, 2012 @ 7:36 pm

*hugs*
November 20th, 2012 @ 10:59 pm
Thank you Shreve. You have inspired me in ways I can’t thank you enough for.
November 20th, 2012 @ 11:04 pm
I love your formula for picking the lucky number! As usual….You Rock! One of the things I am Thankful for is all the great life experiences you share with us. Just looking back at baby Charlie pics is enough to brighten any day for me :)
Sending happy thoughts to you and the farmily–
November 20th, 2012 @ 11:07 pm

no, thank *you* for sharing your life with us. (:
November 21st, 2012 @ 6:42 am
Happy thanksgiving and enjoy your “Shreve-time” and family time. Side note: I used your daily coyote book to help one of my students read who also happened to be obsessed with coyotes! :)
November 21st, 2012 @ 7:13 am
Hope there’s a lot of icicle pieces and not a lot of goose honks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and the farmily.
November 21st, 2012 @ 7:23 am

November 21st, 2012 @ 9:38 am
Rest, refresh, be resilient and relentless in life as a candle flame that is not diminished by lighting another candle.
Love what you do, love to win!
November 21st, 2012 @ 10:08 am

November 21st, 2012 @ 10:27 am
Enjoy your convalescence!
November 21st, 2012 @ 10:45 am
Gobble gobble! Have a wonderful day of thanks and relaxation.
November 21st, 2012 @ 11:13 am
It’s a good time to PAUSE and recognize what’s good. Have a good night at the table tomorrow.

November 21st, 2012 @ 11:48 am
My thanks to you, Shreve. Daily Coyote is my home page, and I look forward to it every morning!
PS I walk past Shreve jewelers in SF all the time and think immediately of you!
November 21st, 2012 @ 11:52 am
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! Enjoy your time off, and happy Thanksgiving!
November 21st, 2012 @ 12:55 pm
Hope your spirits soar like the geese flying over your house soon!
November 21st, 2012 @ 1:08 pm
Ashamed to write you from New Mexico, what with last weekend’s activities.
However, please know there are many working for the protection of all wild predators, including coyotes, wolves, and foxes.
Meantime, please know we appreciate you, Shreve… for sharing your challenges as well as your joys.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Judith
November 21st, 2012 @ 1:23 pm
Echo all the others, thank you. Your blog is a window out of my world and into a different one. A much appreciated window.
November 21st, 2012 @ 1:27 pm
I have recently discovered you and find your site so inspirational! Look forward to coming back daily.
November 21st, 2012 @ 2:43 pm
Hope your time off is super relaxing.
November 21st, 2012 @ 4:07 pm
Thanks for being you!
November 21st, 2012 @ 4:18 pm
Feel better soon! Sending good and happy thoughts.
November 21st, 2012 @ 4:48 pm
Woo hoo number 404! :)
November 21st, 2012 @ 4:57 pm
Icicles already! Wow!
Hope you are closing in on your word count :-)
I’m behind, but I think I can do it!
November 21st, 2012 @ 5:03 pm
Shreve,
Well, thanks to you too. For continuing year after year, creating both your great blogs, writing good-good stuff and role modeling a different and great way to live in this world.
And I also am wishing you, that handsome honey of yours and all your 4-legged furry farmily members a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
A big fan from friendly MN.
November 21st, 2012 @ 5:17 pm
I think that number will be quite existential and subjective. I hope so anyway because if you actually count the icicles and the number of times they fall I will be very concerned about your sanity. Happy Thanksgiving.
November 21st, 2012 @ 5:25 pm
Many, Many, things to be thankful for!!!
November 21st, 2012 @ 5:46 pm
Happy Thanksgiving Shreve!
November 21st, 2012 @ 6:11 pm
Very cool of you!
Enjoy your respite!
November 21st, 2012 @ 6:43 pm
Thanks Shreve, have a great Thanksgiving!
November 21st, 2012 @ 6:53 pm
You give something away and everyone makes a reply! I hope you made lots of excellent progress with NaNo and Happy Thanksgiving!
November 21st, 2012 @ 8:09 pm
Obviously the number would be the same as the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin. Keep warm toes and nose, and the rest will take care of itself. Happy Thanksgiving!
November 21st, 2012 @ 8:36 pm
Thanks for being you, and for sharing what you do. Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy smashing those icicles! *HUG*
November 21st, 2012 @ 8:55 pm
Enjoy your posts so much, thanks for sharing. Have a great week off!
November 21st, 2012 @ 9:46 pm
I’ll probably lose, but how much more creative can you be for a formula to pick a winner? Worth posting just for that! Happy Thanksgiving!
November 21st, 2012 @ 9:51 pm
Love the formula for picking a winner! And I’m a little jealous you have icicles.
November 21st, 2012 @ 10:16 pm
Hope I’m not too late, and I am not the slightest jealous of icicles. Had enough as a kid when I was tough and able to take the bitter cold better. lol On my old school in MN, the icicles were so huge and high up that they warned us often about staying out from underneath them, in case one tell and hurt someone.
November 21st, 2012 @ 10:29 pm
I am all about beating the odds, and your great mathematical formula. Thank you for everything you do! Happy Thanksgiving!
November 21st, 2012 @ 11:22 pm
It all started with viewing your blog daily for the gorgeous photos you take. Then, I joined your organic beef venture. And of course, the grab & stabs in your online store. You continue to amaze me in so many ways. So, thank you for existing! Now, enjoy your down time and we’ll be here when you want to rejoin.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 3:57 am
Thank *you*, and have an excellent week off!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 5:27 am
Hoping you, Mike, and the farmily have an excellent Thanksgiving!
Geese have become one of my favorite birds, because everytime we hear them at the barn my horse stops whatever he’s doing and stares wide-eyed, ears-pricked towards the sky. If he was eating hay or grass, it’ll slowly fall from his mouth. I think the geese remind him of his first home in Canada.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 8:35 am
Love your blog! Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving :)
November 22nd, 2012 @ 10:08 am
Have a good restful break!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 11:32 am
Have a great week Shreve!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 12:04 pm
Thank YOU for existing and sharing your life with the farmily. You bring much joy to your readers!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 12:10 pm
ohhh! i NEED a website, just so I can connect to ones like yours- well not quite, but close to yours, there are not many !
I enjoy the virtual connection to your farmily, and the mathematical formula or farmula you are using to pick maybe maybe my name!!!! Haha AND I am making a store order!
So I won’t miss your posts too too too much.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 1:19 pm
Sorry about your week but thanks for turning lemons into lemonade by thinking of us!
Happy off-line and thanks for your writing, however it manifests…
November 22nd, 2012 @ 3:09 pm
Hope you are enjoying your week off and a lovely thanksgiving! And what a neat way to determine the “random” number.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 3:11 pm
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for all the great pictures and stories.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 4:14 pm
Enjoy your week off! :)
November 22nd, 2012 @ 4:29 pm
Adore your first line, since I can so relate. Destressing is not over-rated. May you enjoy the air you breathe, the fur you cuddle, the stars that sparkle just for you, and all else special to you Ms.S.

November 22nd, 2012 @ 6:42 pm
May you all have a wonderful thanksgiving! I just happen to finish reading the copy of your book I was finally able to get my paws on. Sitting down with your book or blogs always manages to leave me feeling so grounded with life, not to mention all the warm and fuzzies. :) Thank you
November 22nd, 2012 @ 8:54 pm
You and Charlie make my every single day brighter! Thank you for being you!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 9:43 pm
Happy thanksgiving! Thanks for the beautiful little window into another world you give us :).
November 22nd, 2012 @ 9:45 pm
Seriously, the number of giveaways that you do on this website is amazing. What a generous person!
As I’m in Australia, I will be nostalgically reminiscing on all of the Thanksgiving festivities that everyone’s partaking in :) Have a wonderful holiday from the internet!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 9:48 pm
Hi Shreve. I hope your week off helps. When I want to escape the stress I go to your blog to read about what your doing, or look at pictures of Charlie. I always feel much better. I’ve been reading it almost everyday for over a year now. If there’s nothing new I look at the archives. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you sharing with us. Thank you! I hope you feel better!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 9:57 pm
I don’t know how you do it with the farmily – their needs make it hard to take care of your own needs first. I’d say take some time to be a cold-hearted SOB if necessary, but the fact that you put together a care package for others in a stressful week says you just aren’t wired that way. Hang in there.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 10:05 pm
Have a wonderful week off! You take such wonderful care of your farmily, you need to take care of you too!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 10:19 pm
Oh me, me, pick ME!
thank YOU for all the words of encouragement you give to everyone who follows you!
November 22nd, 2012 @ 10:34 pm
Thank YOU for your wonderful blogs!
I’ve learned so much about Coyote from you, I look forward to the ones that sing to me each night. I’ve also learned to lock the turkeys up, so the two don’t meet again.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 11:14 pm
Happy happy day to you.
November 22nd, 2012 @ 11:22 pm
I hope your time away rejuvenates you. We look forward to your return! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mike and your farmily!
November 23rd, 2012 @ 7:04 am
I look forward to the photos every day and your
thoughts, so I will miss them for now, take
your time for yourself, Charlie, Mike, etc.,etc.
the cold weather is hard, especially for the ones
that work outside….please, give Charlie a pat
for me, 2 miles from my house is an open range
where a pack has the run and I take my 2 Grey-
hounds walking down there at night, just to hear
them….they sure are a curious bunch….
and I still love the “baby” Charlie photos-
Take Care
November 23rd, 2012 @ 11:17 am
Thank you, Shreve, for all of your sharing! I have so enjoyed the glimpses into your life. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the Farmily.
November 23rd, 2012 @ 11:58 am
I have enjoyed watching Charlie grow up along with the rest of your animal family! What a life!!
November 23rd, 2012 @ 1:00 pm
Thanks be to the icicles and geese!
November 23rd, 2012 @ 4:28 pm
Happy Turkey day!
November 23rd, 2012 @ 4:34 pm
Pick me! Pick me!
November 23rd, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
I hope your break brings you peace and your quick return to rested and rejuvenated! I hope what ever has been kicking you butt has been soundly trounced and put out to dry.

I’m most excited about that turkey feather, I’ve inadvertently started a collection of feathers because I live in L.A and these are the things we find interesting. I have an ostrich feather, some goose feathers, and a handful of swan feathers.
November 24th, 2012 @ 12:10 am
Your blog makes me smile even on my most difficult days. Thank you for that, Shreve.

November 24th, 2012 @ 10:40 am
Thanks for sharing. You and Charlie have helped during some bad times. No # as the geese threw me off my guess.
November 24th, 2012 @ 12:32 pm
Shreve,
I’m not a blog follower but I have followed you for the last 3 years. Your posts, pictures and hilarity have kept me going through my graduate program…which I just finished! Thank you and watch out for those icicles!
November 24th, 2012 @ 8:05 pm
Omigoodness, my favorite print of all time!!
November 24th, 2012 @ 9:08 pm
And thanks to you too! You’re writing continues to inspire.
November 24th, 2012 @ 9:30 pm
Hope you had a nice, quiet week and enjoyed your Thanksgiving, I love to read about your life with Charlie and the other “kids”.
November 24th, 2012 @ 9:40 pm
I have looked at the print a million times! I just love that one. He looks so content in that picture. Enjoy your week off, and I hope I win! :)
November 24th, 2012 @ 10:52 pm
Thank you! Hope you are having a great week. Love you and you’d family.
November 25th, 2012 @ 4:01 am
How lovely. Thanks so much for the chance to win and for the continued peeks into your world, which I admire greatly.
November 25th, 2012 @ 1:21 pm
I’m always glad you are here.
November 25th, 2012 @ 2:12 pm
And thank YOU too! You have brought many smiles to my face with your posts & photos. You’ve taken me places I never would have known (cyber-ly that is!). It is an honor sharing your life with you.
November 25th, 2012 @ 8:08 pm
No, thank you! I enjoy the little glimpse you give us on your world.
November 25th, 2012 @ 10:06 pm
I have been reading your blog since its inception. It’s been very inspirational to me. Thank you. About the math formula for giving away the prize – good luck. I teach math to 4th graders. That was funny.
November 25th, 2012 @ 10:37 pm
Thanks!!
November 25th, 2012 @ 10:38 pm
Quite the formula. Thanks to you too!
November 26th, 2012 @ 12:02 am
I love that print. Hope it is a high number.
November 26th, 2012 @ 6:25 am
happy holidays to you. love your blog.
November 26th, 2012 @ 10:51 am
Thanks for sharing your life with us! Your pictures often put a smile on my face! Thanks!
November 27th, 2012 @ 12:03 am
Wondering if you were able to complete a lot of the writing of your new book? Your blog is a delight! I don’t know if I love the cows , bulls, horse, cats, Chloe or Charlie more. I love the posts about your life with them and the pictures of them!
