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

First Spring Wild Flowers
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
Saturday Evening Pursuits
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.
Idaho Days
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
Day Three
We climbed up over the hill and reached Bonners Ferry by the early afternoon. Elv drove the whole way. All 1400 miles. Glacier Park is glorious in beauty and measure. Arriving at Mom and Dad's and having the two of them to ourselves for a couple hours was just right. And then hugging our little… Continue reading Day Three

All that to say that we have been keeping the stove fires going all day and… Continue reading February Inspiration
Really Quick Posting
On Saturday night. We're headed down to minus eleven degrees. Yes! I found these frosty, ferny-looking beauties on our living room windows this morning. Tonight the frost is even thicker on the windows. Old windows and sub-zero weather, but we have warmth and cheer within. Inside we are cozy and bookish. I'm reading about Condaleeza… Continue reading Really Quick Posting
Glimpses
Jube has been getting drone pictures for us. This one of our home is lovely in my opinion. Almost forty years of memories and stories. Each tree loved and considered, because trees. That dear old garden spot requires more amending of soil always, ad infinitum. Maybe it's just time to have grass and apple trees… Continue reading Glimpses
The Christmas Letter 2024
DecemberOn a Sunday afternoon at home, the rain which will likely turn to snow, drips down. The tree trunks are looking blackly wet, and the snow is melting. But the temps are dropping again and there will be fresh snow on the ground when we push back the blinds in the morning. I went out… Continue reading The Christmas Letter 2024
