Looks different in a travel trailer. But certainly not as non-existent as you might suppose. We like wild rice soup and I toasted sour dough slices on foil on the little wood stove to go with it. It's a really narrow table. Not a gracious living width at all. But we manage to sit and… Continue reading Gracious Living

And time is running out on me. We've been going on drives up mountains till the snow stops us. Tonight it was up Black Mountain, where logging happens...I don't see how. The road (think gravel logging road) is a winding ledge built into the mountain that lets us climb up. The views are awesome. These… Continue reading Full Days

Mom brought in the first Johnny Jump Ups. This is the whole clump: soil, mulch, and all nestled into a crystal desert bowl. She says she still misses the Wisconsin woods flowers in the spring. This is her annual fix, apparently. Somehow it reminded me of the Girl of the Limberlost. Elv invested in new… Continue reading Mountain Trail Baldy A

It's camper living for sure but nicely familiar and happy, too. Our favorite chores of firewood and laundry and off grid living are our version of the popular ideal of quiet living. Francis found raw milk for us. We visited the neatest little farm stand today to pick it up. This particular half gallon is… Continue reading Mountaineer Days

It's really quiet, except for my music. Elv is sleeping in his chair. I borrowed a popcorn popper from Francis. I keep borrowing things because it's hard to remember what I would have needed in the travel trailer. We're parked in the woods of tall pine trees. The sun shines through in yellow patches. This… Continue reading Saturday Evening

It's been great staying at Mom and Dad's for our first week in the West. It's great to have our own place to live now, too. Joshes well-lived-in travel trailer needed some TLC which we have been providing. There are still bits to complete. The view from the table is quite satisfactory, don't you think?… Continue reading A Place of Our Own

We took a walk this morning before church in the frosty fields. I spotted these miniature beauties covering the ground here by Mom's house. Maybe you all have noticed and examined these amazing flowers many times already, but somehow I doubt it. Here's a small crocus to compare with which was hardly noticeable trying to… Continue reading First Spring Wild Flowers

Wow, it's been a week. Mom entertained us with vocabulary quizzes for awhile this evening. After that dad brought out the Rumicube game to play. I give you all goodnight and have a happy Sunday tomorrow.

We're headed up the mountain this evening to see if we can find Francis's trail cam that someone has apparently relocated. We had pizza at the shop at the end of a busy day of working on the Mountaineer. We just dropped everything and ran. This little hen lives at Josh's. She and a few… Continue reading Idaho Days
