Mowing Trails for Cross-Country Skiing

September 24, 2014March 17, 2017 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Think of a ski resort and mow the trails with that in mind. _________________________ It was hard to imagine that on the 24th day of September when leaves were changing color and starting to fall, the temperature outside was 88 degrees. What better opportunity than a summer-like day to mow the trails in preparation for cross-country skiing this […]

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.

June in Review – Cycling, Columbia Mountain, Mom Died

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

June was a flurry of outdoor activity. David and I cycled the Going to the Sun Road from Avalanche to the Loop, and our family hiking jaunts began in regularity. Mallory and Eileen took their first “real” day hike without their parents, and seeing them off was reminiscent of the Big Kids’ first day of […]

May 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country
Garden, Bison Range, Avalanche Lake

When I first looked at the month of May, I thought it rather uneventful. On second look, I realized just how special it was. We started preparing our plot at the Community Garden and planted some tomato plants, even though I thought it still a bit too early. A late spring snowfall blanketed the garden […]

March in Review – Eileen Wins State and a Visit with the Grandkids

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

March was filled with lots of activity beginning with a trip to Bozeman where Eileen took the state award for precision rifle in her division. Several days after returning home, my daughter, her husband, and their 9 kids arrived from Alaska. It was a full house! Janice and Paul took off for a Hungarian get-away […]

Louisiana Bald Cypress Meets Western Larch

October 15, 2012March 2, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Historical, New Orleans Roots, Things We Find Interesting

    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 […]
