What The Heck is a Chokecherry??

Prior to moving to Montana, I clearly admit, I’d never even heard of a chokecherry. What the …? Why would you want to ingest something that includes the word “choke” in the title?

What is a chokecherry, you ask?

What Labor Day Looks Like in Ennis, Montana

 Editor’s Note: Wherever this lovely, long holiday weekend finds you, I hope it finds you peaceful, healthy and in the comfort of those you love.  Me? Catching up on movies I haven’t seen, and a few stupid chores – but all in all, I can’t complain.

All these fantastic summer images are . . . → Read More: What Labor Day Looks Like in Ennis, Montana

Fire Pits, Ponds, and Bears – Oh My!

I am fortunate to have some really cool friends that live in some really cool spots.

Take last night for example. My friend invited a few gals over for dinner and fellowship. She lives atop a mountain that overlooks the lovely Bozeman, Montana, which includes views of her two ponds, timberline, and the critters that . . . → Read More: Fire Pits, Ponds, and Bears – Oh My!

Taking the Road Less Traveled

Sexy Hubby is a simple man. Besides me {cough!}, his life revolves around slimy, scaly, gilled creatures who live in blue-ribbon rivers.

With spring’s impending arrival, he wanted to visit some river to the north that apparently has epic fishing. Not only that, but said river only releases a limited number of permits to drift this special . . . → Read More: Taking the Road Less Traveled

Visit to the Misco Mill

I love local history – where past eras meets the present day.

It’s Called Spring Break For Good Reason

On Sunday, I was commenting (via Facebook) that if I was so inclined, I could sit OUTSIDE on my back patio and sip my morning java. It was lovely. And warm(ish).

That was then…

…this is now…

And to think I was bustling and ready to gather my patio furniture and . . . → Read More: It’s Called Spring Break For Good Reason

Super Sunday Snap-Shots

Last Sunday I took a trip to the local hot springs – and drove through the Paradise Valley.

All these shots were taken from the back-seat of a mini-van (I didn’t want to ask my friends to stop – or we never would have reached our destination.)

So, I sat, and shot…

What Quaint Town USA Looks Like

Editor’s Note: {Heavy sigh…} Oh my gentle readers, as much as I love being back at the magnet factory (for work) it’s crazy how little free time I seem to have to spend here, within this beloved white space!
