December was about baking and sharing. A blizzard was howling when the guests arrived to Mallory’s end of NaNoWriMo party, but our wood stove kept us warm and toasty inside. David and I enjoyed the company of the parents while the kids discussed their novels. Pretzels and pumpkin brownies that we brought to a potluck […]
I had a great Caturday. I started off the day early, and ate a yummy hot breakfast. But you can’t beat what I had as an afternoon snack! While adventuring in the new-found winter wonderland, I caught and ate a whole mouse. Whisker licking good stuff! Later, I got to test the very latest harness […]
It felt like winter and it looked like it too, but according to the calendar, winter was still a couple of weeks away. Early snows had melted, then frigid temperatures smacked the region. The combination of melting snow and freezing temperatures left Smith Lake with smooth clear ice – perfect for ice skating. We took […]
November was pretty exciting! David shot a deer and we processed the meat ourselves. That was a long day. It was snowing, and by the end of the day I was disgusted by the smell of blood and raw meat. It was worth it, though; Buck is delicious. Served with our organic veggies, who […]

It’s a basic […]
While at the kitchen sink, I saw a stellar jay with a chunk of something in its mouth. Looking towards the barrel, where Buck’s head was (thinking the jay was stealing some meat), I saw that the head was gone. Upon further investigation, Buck’s hide (that was in another barrel close to the house) was […]
It was snowing like crazy when we reached Depotland (the shopping district in Kalispell where the big box stores reside). Cabela’s parking lot was packed, so David parked in the Lowe’s lot across the street. From there, we walked over to the grand opening. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this […]
Having been a feast for the raven’s and the magpies, Buck’s carcass is claimed by a fox. Post by The RMKK People.
The explosion of the shot pierced the early morning quiet of the forest as I was about to prepare myself a bowl of baked oatmeal. “Already?” I thought to myself. Looking through the window, I saw David sitting quietly in his chair beside his truck. It was a cold and damp morning, so I grabbed […]
