I was looking at some photos this morning to add to a Musing’s article and couldn’t find what I wanted. But, I did run across this one of frost on the window, which inspired me for today’s post. It’s not regular that we have ice accumulation on the interior of our windows in winter but […]
Montana
Mushers Hit the Trail Near Olney, Montana
Outdoor recreation in Northwest Montana doesn’t stop because it’s winter. Saying that it’s too cold to go outside and play would mean we’d be stuck inside for months and be nothing but a bump on a log. Sure, there’s lots of hibernation and movie watching, of which Redbox has made quite convenient of late. Sometimes we’re sluggish when the weather outside […]
Happy Skating!
As soon as the ice froze on Woodland Park pond, we set out to do some ice skating. Skating is definitely my favorite winter sport. I love gliding around on a frozen pond, and practicing my figure skating moves. Last year was a disappointment. Due to the bad economy, Parks and Rec. couldn’t afford to do their […]
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
’Twas the night before Christmas, When all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse, The stockings were hung by the Chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced in their […]
Season’s Greetings from RockyMountainKids
And the Grinch with his Grinch feet, ice cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons, it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled until his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. […]
The Sounds of Silence
A blanket of snow and frigid temperatures have enveloped Kalispell and the Flathead Valley making driving conditions hazardous. Considering this, residents were heralded in the news the other day for excellent winter driving skills, as we have seen no major accidents due to weather (although I have seen a lot of fishtailing going on of […]
Oh, What a Glorious Day!
I’ve missed three blog entries as I’ve been enjoying a long Thanksgiving holiday with my daughter, her husband, and their eight kids who were visiting from Palmer, Alaska. It was a full house to say the least, and we spent an amazing ten days sampling new foods, indulging in turkey and leftovers, and watching lots of kid flics. […]
Fall and Winter Great Time to Visit the National Bison Range
The fall and winter months are a great time to visit The National Bison Range in Moise. Although the preferred Red Sleep Road is closed for winter, the Range still offers a 10-mile round-trip gravel road for wildlife viewing. Cooler weather often means animals are more active during the daytime. Thus wildlife viewing opportunities abound. Because I […]
Tis the Season for Hunter Orange
One would have to have a brain cloud not to know it’s hunting season in Montana. With headlines like “It’s been a rough year for deer hunters”, “Wolf hunt was a success”, and “As the rut starts, bucks are going to be on the move”, who could forget. I always feel a little left out at this time […]
The New Super Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart under construction “What are you doing?” “Taking a picture of the new Wal-Mart,” was the answer. We had just come from eating pizza at a restaurant in Depotland. David was taking a few pictures of the construction of the first Super Wal-Mart in Kalispell. His attitude towards the place has been increasingly negative since […]
