I’m feeling rather introspective today. How could I not? Halloween is one of the most dreaded holidays of all for cats. Especially black ones. It’s a shame, but there are pea brains in this world that must have no conscience, because I’ve heard horror stories about humans that do harm to black cats. […]

Woodpile Envy
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… My definition of woodpile envy: when an individual has a preoccupation of observing other peoples woodpiles as to the size, quantity, and quality of their logs. This certainly applies to me as I’ve been looking at woodpiles for years […]
Spine Tingling Tales of the Supernatural
Montana has a rich history of ghost towns and haunted buildings including some in the Flathead Valley, which have several spooky tales to tell. Having experienced paranormal activity, the RMKK People would like to take this opportunity to tell some of their chilling true stories. We will now whet your appetite for the […]
Where In the World Is Wes?
My last entry was a bit of a cliffhanger- eh? I like it to be that way sometimes as I feel it keeps up the suspense. Many a cat’s life is lacking in suspense, if you think about it. So as we know from my most recent article, some big changes have occurred in […]
The Lonesome Sound of the Passing Train
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… Moving to a new home is like a whirlwind, a flurry of activity, a tumultuous time of excitement, confusion, and disorder. It’s a time of change to be embraced. And if you let it flow, out of the chaos […]
Lost in Bear Country
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… I followed my husband into bear country, he didn’t take his GPS, and we got lost. I will follow him anywhere, sometimes against my better judgment. It never does me any good to complain and to be fair, I must add […]
Louisiana Bald Cypress Meets Western Larch
As Northwest Montana reaches its peak of fall color, let’s talk about trees. Not a major lecture, just a couple of elementary basics and a few connections. Most of you know that trees fall into two categories; deciduous and coniferous. Deciduous trees have leaves that change color and fall off early […]
Does Our Consciousness Shape Reality?
Contemplate the notion that with every thought you are creating your future. This has sometimes been a scary thought for me because I am not always thinking about sugar and spice and everything nice. When you become aware that your thoughts become your reality, you realize the great responsibility that comes with this knowledge. There […]
Before They Had Cat Ladies and Old Maids….
…the Flathead Valley had these fellows. This photograph taken from a historical book about the Flathead Valley caught my eye. Two of the men in the photograph advertising “Wives Wanted” are holding cats. Adventurous men traveled to the Montana frontier in the 1800’s and 1900’s looking for work and hoping for success. Many […]
Mewving Daze
First of all, the living room transformed. I made the best out of this unusual situation and decided to sit atop a prime box that had been topped with a soft blue blanket. From here I could survey the strange activities of the household humans. Alas, my humans lugged away much […]
