Here’s Biggie doing his otter impersonation.  Of course, it might have something to do with enjoying the warm sunshine on his tummy!

This is a picture we took last March when we were visiting Doug and Mary in Phoenix.  It will certainly be a while before we have flowers like this.  But, I did notice today we have strawberry plants and rhubarb that are coming up.  It is supposed to be 91 degrees there this Saturday.  Way [...]

Today I put up the hummingbird feeders.  I know it’s early but the weather has been so warm it feels like it is time for them to head north.

Ever wonder where the term “bunny hop” came from?  Well, I think Grandma Dora found out.  She was watching Pete and Peta yesterday.  Pete would be sitting completely still and then poof he would jump right straight up in the air – at least a foot it not more.  Then a couple seconds later he’d [...]

There’s lots of black gold in the oil fields of the Bakken Oil Boom in eastern Montana and western North Dakota.  And, it’s a lot like the booms during the gold rush days. The Bakken is supposed to be producing oil for over 30 years and with that comes a need for lots of workers [...]

With the media trying so hard to fool us, it is hard not to be fool-ish!  Or, remember a story is just that – a story.  Make sure you have all the facts before you believe everything you read or hear and that is a tough job since most of what we “know” we get [...]

The last day winter and Mother Nature reminded us with about 6 inches of wet snow.  It’s beautiful because we know it will be gone in a day, yet we received some much needed moisture. Our power went out a couple of times early this morning and when our cell phones came back on it [...]

Spring has sprung – at least for a few days. Our robins are back and I moved our lawn for the first time yesterday.  We’re looking forward to the hollyhocks and rhubarb coming up shortly.  And, as you can see Pete and Peta love the rhubarb.  You may have to look closely because Peta is [...]
