All of those beautiful golden leaves have just about fallen. We’ve been doing a lot of raking and the simple pleasure of playing in fall leaves has all but disappeared. Snow clouds have been hanging over the mountains and it’s time to finish up the yard work. This is when the grumbling from the peanut […]
“If one imagines with enough energy behind it, expectations eventually manifest.” ~ You Get What You Expect Temperatures cold enough to freeze the pond haven’t yet arrived in Kalispell. Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped the “I can’t wait to ice skate” enthusiasm which began shortly after summer faded away. Ice skating is a favorite winter sport […]
It was early morning and still dark when I read the weather forecast. It said “TODAY, patchy fog possible”. I was a bit disappointed, as I am not yet ready to be socked in with inversions. The morning progressed, the sun came up, and frosty autumn leaves glistened on the lawn. It all looked so […]
I can hardly believe it’s November. Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. We don’t trick or treat but E made some peanut butter eyeballs for the occasion. We had a good time with the decorating, but I must say that some of them came out looking like they had a bad […]
The hills are alive with the sound of music With songs they have sung for a thousand years The hills fill my heart with the sound of music My heart wants to sing every song it hears. One of my laptops is getting older and slowing down. I thought by purging some old emails I […]
Let me take you back in time to an autumn evening in 1910 shortly before Halloween. Lettie Conrad and her daughter Alicia have returned from a dinner party and are still in their evening gowns as they sit in the mansion’s library discussing plans for their upcoming Halloween party. Little do they realize what fate has in […]
It’s so dang pretty outside today, I can hardly keep from staring out of the windows. The weather has been fantastic, better than last fall. It’s almost like a second spring…the autumn leaves I mean, the splash of colors is simply awesome. Each morning, I’ve been stepping out onto my porch to embrace the day and take a […]
While having a hot bowl of 15 bean soup, Mallory piped up and suggested we take 5 minutes to write down everything we LOVE about the season. We did, and here is what she came up with. What I Love About Fall – by Mallory A. The color of the world…everything is in hues of yellow, brown, and […]
October is rolling right along and the leaves are dropping like crazy. It’s a good thing because last year they didn’t get a chance to have a proper fall. An early freeze came along and stopped them in their tracks. They were quite confused and clung to the branches all winter long blocking our view […]
I told E it was cold this morning and she should wear pants when we go for our walk. However, she did not. She left wearing shorts and we had barely reached the sidewalk when she said, “Wait a minute, I’ve got to go bundle up.” I waited out front and started raking leaves while […]
