December in Review – Baking and Sharing

December 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

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 […]

November in Review – Hunting, Making Soap, and Ice Skating

November 30, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

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 […]

October in Review – Autumn Beauty and a Load of Pumpkins

October 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Ah! October…what a gorgeous time of year! The government shut-down temporarily closed the park, but it didn’t stop me from snapping some glorious shots of autumn near the old park entrance at Belton Bridge. Our annual fall hike, to Mount Aeneas in the Swan Range, took us from autumn reds and yellows to winter white. […]

September in Review – A Last Hike, Grouse for Dinner, Harvesting Potatoes

September 30, 2013July 29, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Summer is always so fleeting and most often I feel I don’t do enough. The month of September created a sense of urgency to prepare for winter and do the things I wanted to do over summer, but didn’t get around to…like practicing more with my bow.   Our last hike in the park before […]

August in Review – Huckleberry Barbecue Sauce, Moose, Fair

August 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

August equaled abundance. We harvested much of our vegetable garden and I learned numerous ways to prepare crooked-neck squash. It was a good year for huckleberries and we picked enough to preserve several jars of scrumptious jam, with enough in reserve for pancakes, barbecue sauce, and other treats.   Many Glacier is an excellent part […]

July in Review – Bean Harvest and Cherry Picking

July 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

In July, I seemed to be preoccupied with fruits, vegetables, and flowers.   The garden had taken off and we had a decent crop of green beans for the first time since living in Montana. I pickled 6 quarts of beans and would later process a number of pint jars, as well as stock the […]

Showy Beargrass Popping Up all Over Montana

June 10, 2013August 14, 2013 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Things We Find Interesting

Beargrass is popping up all over Northwest Montana. It is a beautiful plant to see in nature and also to photograph. However, beargrass has very little to do with bears and isn’t actually a grass.     Beargrass is part of the lily family. When not in bloom its slender leaves make grassy clumps that […]
