Yarn bombing, also known as yarn storming has hit Kalispell, Montana! Several trees and a park bench, on the lawn of the Hockaday Museum of Art, have been bombed! What is Yarn Bombing Have you ever heard of yarn bombing, guerilla knitting, yarn storming, or urban knitting? Am I the last one on […]
Rain and snow create an opportunity. Rain and an additional 35 inches of snow that had to be plowed delayed the scheduled opening of the Going to the Sun Road. It was our good luck that it turned out that way (if you call the opportunity to make your legs nauseous, lucky). My family and […]
Yesterday was the longest day of the entire year, meaning that today is our first full 24 hours of Summer. For many, this means the beginning of days spent recreating in the outdoors- rafting, hiking, or horseback riding. For them, summer is a time of activity and excitement.

Although I knew the views would be lovely and the Mission’s spectacular, the thought of our annual drive to Moise and the hours and hours of driving around the National Bison Range didn’t thrill me.

The setting for the David Thompson Black Powder Shoot in Eureka was held on a golden prairie surrounded by mountains with spectacular views into Canada. The scenery was out of this world. It is no wonder that the Lakota loved this land. As we entered the rendezvous grounds, I beheld a sweeping landscape […]
Warm weather has brought out the snakes and David has encountered them on two occasions. First, by stepping into a nest of them along Rails to Trails, and second by running over one as we were cycling down the hill to the bike path in Kalispell. Not much thought was given to his […]
