A bearded old man seen living in these hills spending his time busily making shoes, was seen hiding gold coins over the hill at the end of the rainbow. The little old man was a fairy-like creature and always into mischief. Each time he was seen, the bearded man in the green coat with […]
Meow, Meoow, Meooow, Meoooow!!! That’s how I felt after Kitty came in for a visit, hopped on one of my cushy blankies, then scratched me across my face. What an ungrateful cat she is. I was just trying to be nice when I jumped on the bed and gave her my little gurgle purr. […]
The truck has been a muddy mess since the Sunday drive, and our week of traveling down the sloppy road to hunter education has added additional layers of grime to its running boards. For five nights and two days we drove a mucky, rutted, single lane road to a ranch in the valley […]
What I loved about the drive to hunter safety last night was that it took us off the beaten path over a sloppy road out to a ranch under the big sky. It made me feel like a Montanan and I am still awestruck that I live here. Someone once told me that […]
I was asking for a meal one night when I was coerced in to taking this picture. At first I couldn’t figure out why my adopted grandmom had put a dab of food on the tub instead of in my food dish. As I was famished, and am not a complainer, I simply stood […]
What comes to mind when you think of a Sunday drive? For me, it’s thoughts of a leisurely afternoon drive where no one is in a rush to no particular destination. I think of tulips, the New Orleans Mardi Gras Fountain, and Coca-Cola. As far back as I can remember, the Sunday drive has been […]
A protected haven for the mountain goats, A place for bears to make their den, Where eagles swoop down to catch a fish, And ground squirrels burrow deep down. In summer months the flowers bloom, Indian paintbrush is a deep red, Glacier lilies grow up out of the snow, Beargrass waves its stalks […]
While surfing the Internet, I ran across an article about the Girl Scout organization celebrating its 100th anniversary. In honor of the celebration, Little Brownie Bakers has whipped up a new confection called Savannah Smiles. It is a lemon flavored cookie, dusted in powered sugar. Yummy, no doubt, but it will be hard to […]
A follow-up to The Neighbor. Before choosing a cart, I scanned the store entrance-way for disinfectant wipes. The four of us were together and whoever pushed the basket would have to clean off any microorganisms before touching the handle. If I reminded the girls to get the wipes beforehand we could avoid my husband […]
It’s nearing springtime. Do you know what that means? I get to watch all of the birdies that come flying around my house. Today I was purrty lucky. I went outside on my leash to watch a mass of bohemian waxwings flying around. At first I was a little nervous when they flew […]
