It’s Official – I am over Winter (2/11/2014) I’ve been positive all Winter.  Frankly, I’ve been proud JR and I are making it through our first Montana winter, a winter that has seen more extremes than a normal winter (so we are told).  My record-keeping shows 120 inches of snow thus far, and I underestimate every time.  But…

This Dog Really Wants a Kitten I love this video so much.  I have watched this at least three times.  Enjoy! http://cheezburger.com/58288641

Feeding Part Three (Feb 2014) Thursday evening’s feeding was downright pleasant.  It was about 5 degrees and sunny.  I didn’t have to wear the ski mask and lost one pair of long johns.   Saturday morning, however, it was snowing.  That weird light at 7am makes it really hard to see our road, especially when…

Ullrfest (1/31/14) JR and I headed to Sam’s for happy hour on Friday.  Only when we got there, we found it was Ullrfest (OOOL-er). From Ullr.org : by David McKee “You know the feeling-you are on your skis working the rhythm, enjoyin’ the speed, and suddenly for a few turns, you feel immortal.  The feeling is…

Feeding Part Two (Feb 2014) Wednesday evening feeding (Minus 8 degrees) At least the sun was out! Thursday morning feeding (Minus 22 degrees, windchill minus 36 degrees) Today I added toe warmers, although that lasted about 10 minutes before I couldn’t feel those either.  Everyone had the eyelash issue, and everyone was frosty.  These pictures aren’t…

Feeding Horses in the Freezing Cold…Again (Feb 2014) Well, here comes another cold snap, and a *wonderfully* timed out-of-town trip for our neighbors.  So, I’m on horse duty for a week.  Until the weekend, the high temp will be -1 degree.  Windchills?  Don’t want to even talk about it (-26 degrees).  After the weekend, it will get…

Gardiner, MT (Jan 2014) JR has made several trips to Gardiner, Montana for work with an anchor client. He signed a nine month contract!  Woo hoo!  Gardiner is just outside Yellowstone National Park, and needless to say JR’s drive to work has been full of wildlife encounters.  Returning home following his prior trip to Gardiner in early January,…

Cross Country Skiing (1/25/14) Last Thursday afternoon, I had a lesson with a cross country ski instructor, Les.  When I left our house, it was 30ish, sunny, and no wind.  I dressed for that kind of weather but at the last minute, threw a few extra layers in the car.  Halfway to the Nordic Center, I…

A Timber & Scarlett Story (11-2008) Part Two When we left off, Scarlett had just polished off JR’s “desperation” chicken legs, bones and all… JR emerged from the store.  I explained what had transpired and he was furious.  He grabbed the last lone chicken leg, shoved it in Scarlett’s face, and said, “here, is THIS what you…
