Many times I don’t want to go to Glacier, though I usually end up enjoying myself while I am there. I think I imagine that I would be doing something more fun and exciting at home. It was quite the same when plans were made to hike to Avalanche Lake after the tour of […]
Our latest freebie edible plant hike adventure began when I saw an advertisement in the newspaper that read something like this: –Take a nature hike and learn how to identify edible plants. Weather permitting. Call “T” to make reservations. Thinking this was something my family would find interesting, I asked my youngest […]
Years ago when David and I were in our early twenties, we received an anniversary card from my mother in-law inscribed with these words, “Happy Anniversary to a Couple of Kidders”. With three little ones at the time, and plans for only one more, I had no clue that I would still be raising […]
Powder, patch, and ball, or it won’t shoot at all. Follow this and you’ll be okay, unless a dream gets in your way. I’ve been down more muddy Montana roads this spring than ever before and the narrow one-lane road to the muzzleloading range can be particularly scary because it is winding and steep. I am […]
From the look of the abandoned property as we approached from the road, it was a photographer’s dream. I envisioned my shots when I saw several run down buildings with tattered wood and collapsing roofs. It was too good to pass up. But from the moment we pulled over, parked, and grabbed our cameras, I […]
A bearded old man seen living in these hills spending his time busily making shoes, was seen hiding gold coins over the hill at the end of the rainbow. The little old man was a fairy-like creature and always into mischief. Each time he was seen, the bearded man in the green coat with […]
The truck has been a muddy mess since the Sunday drive, and our week of traveling down the sloppy road to hunter education has added additional layers of grime to its running boards. For five nights and two days we drove a mucky, rutted, single lane road to a ranch in the valley […]
What I loved about the drive to hunter safety last night was that it took us off the beaten path over a sloppy road out to a ranch under the big sky. It made me feel like a Montanan and I am still awestruck that I live here. Someone once told me that […]
What comes to mind when you think of a Sunday drive? For me, it’s thoughts of a leisurely afternoon drive where no one is in a rush to no particular destination. I think of tulips, the New Orleans Mardi Gras Fountain, and Coca-Cola. As far back as I can remember, the Sunday drive has been […]
A protected haven for the mountain goats, A place for bears to make their den, Where eagles swoop down to catch a fish, And ground squirrels burrow deep down. In summer months the flowers bloom, Indian paintbrush is a deep red, Glacier lilies grow up out of the snow, Beargrass waves its stalks […]
