Life is an Adventure
Everywhere you look, life is an adventure.
The Pleasure of Raking Leaves, a New Snow Blower, Breadsticks
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness can take on many forms… It was a nuisance changing the chainsaw blade. After we accomplished that, the girls bucked more wood for the woodpile and I took to the task of raking the last of the maple leaves. The leaves were pretty, but I […]
Visiting the Shay in Columbia Falls
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness can take on many forms… We crossed the railroad tracks and were heading into town when I made the decision to stop at Depot Park. My family and I had passed the park going to and from town since moving to Columbia Falls; the park is small […]
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 […]
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 […]
Dragons in Flathead Lake!

For one, the Flathead Lake Monster lurks in the depths of Flathead Lake and also, dragons cruise its pristine waters. Recently, many of the dragons made an appearance at the first annual Dragon Boat Races in Montana. The […]
Geocaching in Bear Country
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… When we got out of the truck and began our geo-hunt, I had no clue what was in store for us other than the usual search for a geocache. I knew it would be cleverly hidden somewhere off of the […]
The Twin Fawns
Note: Just so you can’t say I didn’t warn you, there’s a picture of a dead animal at the end of this post. Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… David and I often see deer while cycling along the bike path in Kalispell, and I […]
A Star Party at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in rural Montana can take on many forms… Standing on the side of the road at 2 a.m. watching headlights creep towards us, plus getting scared out of our wits by the sound of a beaver’s tail slapping the river’s water, all in the spirit of searching skyward […]
Beaver Tails
A loud, hollow splash echoed through the darkness. On this pitch black, otherwise dead silent night, it seemed only natural that everyone’s minds immediately went to thoughts of murder and monsters upon hearing this splash. That night our family had gone out near the Flathead River to gaze into the heavens and spot the Perseids. Our […]
