Blacksmith / Bonfire (5/17/14) On Saturday, JR and I went to a Blacksmith Demo and Art Auction in Roscoe. One guy made a bottle opener and was about to pass it around.  Somebody handed him a bottle of beer to make sure it worked!  That got some laughs.  He also made a grill fork /…

Visitors (5/17/14) We had eight visitors the other night.  It never ceases to amaze me that Scarlett doesn’t bother with them.  If Timber were around, he wouldn’t have stood for it!  My new theory is that Scarlett tries her hardest to be quiet so the deer will poo in the yard and she can have…

Grouse / Sunsets (5/15/14) I woke up a few mornings ago and saw this guy strutting his stuff: I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing him correctly.  I thought maybe the poor thing had rabies or something.  Really, I should have taken a video.  I’ve never seen a bird walk around like…

Bison Calf (5/8/14) JR was back in Yellowstone National Park for work this week.  He sent this picture.  How cute! I don’t know about JR, but I’m still hoping for a green Park Services truck and walkie-talkie!  Hee hee!

Court Whist Party (5/3/14) JR and I were invited to play cards at a house in town on Saturday night.  Have you ever heard of Court Whist?  Neither JR or I had ever heard of it.  These Wisconsin/Minnesota transplants sure know a lot of card games!  It was so much fun!  There were about twenty-four…

Road Trip Pictures (5/1/14) JR and I made a trip to Billings on Thursday evening.  I took my camera because I’ve been wanting to get pictures of the baby cows and sheep that are everywhere.  Well, the sheep weren’t in the field, and the baby cows were all lying down!  Here’s what I got on…

Hide & Seek (4/30/14) After finding the wind had died down in the evening, we went for a walk “redo.”  We walked down the back pasture and I asked JR to go hide from Scarlett.  She loves a good game of hide ‘n seek and she’s actually quite good at it.  It is also quite…

All’s Quiet at the Lazy J (Apr 2014) As evidenced by the lack of posts, nothing much is going on at the Lazy J.  The weather has been all over the map – sunny, windy, rainy, and snowy.  We were teased with a few days in the 60s.  JR even got out and cut the grass…

Edgar, MT (4/28/2014) Friends of ours went to Edgar, MT on Monday to look at a travel trailer for sale (we are so jealous!).  We decided to meet them at the Edgar Bar for dinner.  It was the best restaurant meal I’ve had in ages.  Ribeye cooked perfectly to my liking, salad with fresh, tasty…

A Direct Hit to the Face (4/17/14) Scarlett got three walks today.  She walked herself on the first one.  Yes, she did.  JR looked out the window and said, “What’s that?  A coyote?”  No, it was just Scarlett, three quarters of the way up the driveway, barely in sight.  With the wind howling, I had…
