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 […]

October 7, 2013April 8, 2022 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country, Hiking, Life is an Adventure

At last – a forecast of “partly sunny” after several days of rain. Now was the opportunity to grab our packs and head out to the Jewel Basin for our annual fall hike.The Jewel has some of the best displays of fall color and I was looking forward to the drive up the mountain to Camp […]

August in Review – Huckleberry Barbecue Sauce, Moose, Fair

August 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

August equaled abundance. We harvested much of our vegetable garden and I learned numerous ways to prepare crooked-neck squash. It was a good year for huckleberries and we picked enough to preserve several jars of scrumptious jam, with enough in reserve for pancakes, barbecue sauce, and other treats.   Many Glacier is an excellent part […]

June in Review – Cycling, Columbia Mountain, Mom Died

June 30, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

June was a flurry of outdoor activity. David and I cycled the Going to the Sun Road from Avalanche to the Loop, and our family hiking jaunts began in regularity. Mallory and Eileen took their first “real” day hike without their parents, and seeing them off was reminiscent of the Big Kids’ first day of […]

May in Review – Community Garden, Bison Range, and Black Powder Shoot

May 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country
Garden, Bison Range, Avalanche Lake

When I first looked at the month of May, I thought it rather uneventful. On second look, I realized just how special it was. We started preparing our plot at the Community Garden and planted some tomato plants, even though I thought it still a bit too early. A late spring snowfall blanketed the garden […]

March in Review – Eileen Wins State and a Visit with the Grandkids

March 31, 2013June 17, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

March was filled with lots of activity beginning with a trip to Bozeman where Eileen took the state award for precision rifle in her division. Several days after returning home, my daughter, her husband, and their 9 kids arrived from Alaska. It was a full house! Janice and Paul took off for a Hungarian get-away […]

Louisiana Bald Cypress Meets Western Larch

October 15, 2012March 2, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Historical, New Orleans Roots, Things We Find Interesting

    As Northwest Montana reaches its peak of fall color, let’s talk about trees. Not a major lecture, just a couple of elementary basics and a few connections.   Most of you know that trees fall into two categories; deciduous and coniferous.   Deciduous trees have leaves that change color and fall off early […]

Does Our Consciousness Shape Reality?

October 10, 2012March 9, 2015 Marlene Leave a comment Marlene's This and That

Contemplate the notion that with every thought you are creating your future. This has sometimes been a scary  thought for me because I am not always thinking about sugar and spice and everything nice. When you become aware that your thoughts become your reality, you realize the great responsibility that comes with this knowledge. There […]

Sometimes He Hits the Jackpot – Sometimes He Hits the Jade

January 7, 2010October 7, 2013 Mallory Leave a comment Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

I was an 8-year old kid from Louisiana at the time experiencing the trip of a lifetime. I struggled to stay awake in the backseat of the truck as I had been traveling for about 12 hours from New Mexico to Wyoming. We were just getting ready to check in at a motel in Rawlins. […]
