Ursa Americanus Appears in the Yard

July 31, 2014September 4, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Bear Encounters, Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

No sooner had Mallory come inside from cleaning up the garage when she spotted a large dark animal on the lawn. Processing that it was not a deer, she announced that there was a bear in our yard. I glanced out of the window, and saw the bear standing under a tree approximately 15 feet […]

Life Stinks

July 16, 2014October 27, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country
Green Box Site Sign, Columbia Falls, Montana

Life stinks. It’s smelly. It’s filled with odoriferous scents that make us gag, hold our nose, and turn our heads! Open your olfactory senses and inhale. What do you smell? Animal poop, human poop, vomit, rotten eggs, sour milk, decaying corpses, warm blood, garlic breath, stagnant water, body odor, dirty dumpsters, garbage, sour onions…the list is […]

Forest Adopts our Family

July 2, 2014July 16, 2014 Wes Leave a comment Breaking Mews

I’ve been busy working as a model for a company that makes cat-walking harnesses. I am on call to do remote shoots and videos at various outdoor locations. When I am not working, I like to sleep or prowl around the yard, not blog. That’s part of the reason why my column has gotten behind. […]

Arrowleaf Balsamroot – Wildflowers of the National Bison Range

Arrowleaf Balsam Root2.National Bison Range..

Darn it, I thought as we approached the turn off to Moise and noticed snow on the mountains of the National Bison Range. I had a hunch that the Red Sleep Drive would be closed, but it wasn’t confirmed until we arrived at the visitor’s center where a ranger told us that 3 inches of […]

How to Make Sourdough Starter

May 7, 2014October 16, 2021 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country, Recipes
Sourdough starter

Making sourdough starter had been on my summer-to-do-lists for years, ever since I clipped a recipe for it out of a Sunday morning newspaper insert. There the recipe sat, on the floor next to my nightstand, with a pile of other papers that I either needed to file or do something with. Why did I […]

Raw Honey -10 Healthful Benefits

April 30, 2014May 12, 2017 Marlene Leave a comment Things We Find Interesting
honey and dipper

Dads always seem to know everything, and recently I had a conversation with my dad in which he explained the benefits of consuming local raw honey. He said it was good for helping with allergies. Prior to my conversation with Dad, I bought honey without giving it much thought. I had always purchased honey from […]

Muzzleloading Rendezvous – David Thompson Black Powder Shoot

April 29, 2014July 10, 2023 Eileen Leave a comment Life is an Adventure, Muzzleloading

We arrived at the David Thompson Black Powder Shoot in Eureka, Montana to discover that the rest of our muzzleloading club was hiding out in their tents. The rain, which had started pouring down on the previous day, had proved to be a bit much for everyone.     After getting some supplies together, we […]
