Spent the day prepping for winter… roll up hoses, finish that shelf in the garage to hold my cold frame and lawn chairs, pick up toys out of the yard… nothing great, but the standard maintenance anyone with outdoor space has to do! When the first snow came, and I hadn’t done any of this,…
#TBT : 1962 Meat Supply
When I said I grew up on wild game… I wasn’t kidding. This is my dad skinning his deer in the back yard… strung up on mom’s clothesline pole! My older sister and brother are there… and that little blondie with the squished up face is me! For some weird juvenile period in my life,…

Wordless Wednesday – “Undine Falls, Yellowstone”
Undine Falls, Yellowstone
Grand Prismatic Spring
There’s really no more colorful and large geothermal feature in Yellowstone prettier than the Grand Prismatic Spring. When Vernon suggested our trip, I immediately said I wanted to go to the Grand!
