A roaring fire is ablaze near Hamilton, Montana which is approximately 170 miles south of Kalispell. Roughly 1,000 people have been evacuated from their homes due to the looming flames of the Sawtooth Fire.

When I saw the humans with that Greek Yogurt container, I was hoping they weren’t going to tempt my feline taste buds with dairy. I thought to myself, “On no, you can’t get me to eat that stuff.” “It’s for sissies.” They barely gave me a sideways glance and then laid the container […]
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 […]

After my supervised excursion to the outdoors, I’ve been dying to go out again. And I have. Every chance I get I slink past the humans and go outside to nibble some grass and breathe in the fresh air. When I’m lucky they will stay outside with me for a couple of minutes, and […]
A loud, hollow splash echoed through the darkness.

Dad liked fresh vegetables and homemade baked goods. Mom liked quick and easy, especially when it came to desserts. In fact, I cannot remember my mother baking any sweets at all. We […]
Fair week is over in NW Montana and a good time was had by all. The fair is an important summer event in this community. People gather from far and wide to share their crafts and craftsmanship. Colorful quilts, scrumptious homemade pies, perfectly canned goods, and many other handcrafted items were on display […]
It’s huckleberry picking season in Northwest Montana, and apparently not much has changed in 100 years. Year after year, each huckleberry season, people still talk about how plentiful and how large the huckleberries are. Look at what was said in the Daily Interlake in 1912. Aug. 14 – Huckleberries have been especially plentiful on the […]
