Mowing Trails for Cross-Country Skiing

September 24, 2014March 17, 2017 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Think of a ski resort and mow the trails with that in mind. _________________________ It was hard to imagine that on the 24th day of September when leaves were changing color and starting to fall, the temperature outside was 88 degrees. What better opportunity than a summer-like day to mow the trails in preparation for cross-country skiing this […]

Buck’s Legacy

November 4, 2013October 9, 2017 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure, Wildlife

The explosion of the shot pierced the early morning quiet of the forest as I was about to prepare myself a bowl of baked oatmeal. “Already?” I thought to myself. Looking through the window, I saw David sitting quietly in his chair beside his truck. It was a cold and damp morning, so I grabbed […]

The Pleasure of Raking Leaves, a New Snow Blower, Breadsticks

November 14, 2012October 22, 2021 Marlene 2 Comments Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure, Recipes

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 […]

I Want My Pumpkin Made in America!

December 1, 2011November 20, 2018 Marlene 4 Comments Glacier Country

It’s batty enough that I prepare my mirlitons with frozen shrimp from Thailand and not the Gulf of Mexico. I am not about to bake my traditional Thanksgiving Day pie with pumpkin from China.     Earlier in the season, I had looked for canned pumpkin at the store as my daughter had requested it […]

In Search of the Elusive Hose Tower – Glacier National Park

November 10, 2011October 19, 2017 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country, Hiking, Life is an Adventure

Heading into the Clouds How would you feel if the sun was shining, your family was bored, and all you could come up with, for fun, was to take a ride to look for a hose tower?  I mean…it was something I wanted to do, but, eventually. I didn’t think I wanted to waste a […]

The Porter Ranch Barn in all its Glory!

November 1, 2011January 16, 2018 Marlene 4 Comments Glacier Country

The Porter Ranch Barn   Barns remind us of our country’s rural past as the American spirit shines through dilapidated and weathered facades stirring our imaginations with visions of a different era; of an independent people forging their own way in a land of opportunity.       It was a glorious fall day when […]

The Scents of Fall

October 25, 2011September 29, 2022 Mallory Leave a comment Glacier Country
Autumn Woods

When I say “fall”: what comes to mind? The foods, the holidays, the colors of nature, and the smells. No other season’s smells are quite as delicious, heartwarming, and comforting as the scents of fall.     Autumn represents comfort. It’s a time when everything slows down and returns to its humble roots after the […]
