Snow-kissed red berries of the mountain ash make for a visually stunning snowy scene in winter. The Mountain Ash tree is not an Ash but actually part of the rose family or Rosaceae. The leaves resemble Ash, hence the name. The berries are red-orange to red and have the appearance of very tiny apples. They […]
I must admit the thought of drilling a hole into a frozen lake and waiting to catch a bunch of little perch didn’t appeal to me until he started coming home with some nice sized Northern Pike. Unlike perch which I think aren’t worth cleaning, the pike are large enough to fillet and make a […]
My mom has always been a fan of the natural wonders we are blessed to see. Back when we lived in Louisiana, often she would say, “I want to move out west to see the sunsets.” And so she did. Although I usually roll my eyes or tease when she gushes over sunsets, some […]

This article is a lesson to all bears: Don’t go into town, or this might happen to you. Our studies were finished at last, so we decided to take a walk. Maybe there would be a little adventure outside of the boring life at home. As we started out on our walk we […]
One evening, I was browsing through the newspaper when I noticed an ad for a kid’s cooking contest. I tore out the ad and showed it to Mom. She said it was okay if I wanted to enter, but asked what recipe would I use? Although I do experiment with cooking, I had never […]
E had been hinting about renting canoes. She mentioned it again the day after our hike to Grinnell Glacier. Little did she know that Dad had planned to surprise us with an hour of canoeing on Swiftcurrent Lake. When we went to the dock to get in our canoes, I was very […]
On Father’s Day morning, we awoke unsure of what we would do for the holiday. Instead of bad weather like we had for Memorial Day 2 years ago when we went to Yellowstone, the weather was beautiful and hot, with temperatures around 75 degrees. As the day went on, the word spread that we would […]
