We were on the road between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton when we saw the bear jam. We figured it was a bear jam, at least I did. But, it could have been buffalo, elk, or moose. Buffalo had caused a major traffic jam earlier in the day when they insisted on taking their good […]

Jenna and Johann Otter Return To Glacier
We were no more than 10 minutes from home visiting a bird sanctuary with our homeschool nature journal group. It was a damp, dreary, autumn day and only 4 mothers with their children had shown up. Even though close to home, it was my first time in the Sowerwine. The group followed […]
