Yesterday Grandma Dora spotted this belted kingfisher out by Bucky Beaver’s home on Fleishman Creek here in Livingston.  When we looked it up in our bird book, we found that these birds seldom cross the Mexican border so we don’t know why it was here – 1,000 miles north of its usual habitat.  It sure [...]

It’s been pretty hot here and predicted to stay that way for the next week or so.  Pete has gotten in the habit of each evening spending time on the patio.  We have mulch chips over the concrete patio because we like the look and the fragrance so we keep in watered to help increase [...]

Hope you can read this article from the Billings Gazette.  And, the point is don’t even try to bully the bull – bison that is!!  We just can’t believe that people think for some strange reason that they have more right to be in the Park than the wildlife.  Or that the animals are tame. [...]

We took this baby robin picture through our kitchen window so I don’t think he’s really upset with us – just seems to be trying to look threatening!  It’s been so hot the last couple days that we haven’t seen our rabbits or many birds except early in the morning and when the sun starts [...]

Our friends at Stop the Car Trading Post in Silver Gate, MT have a fantastic store, great food, and what a fabulous view.  Oh, did I mention, they have a cabin they rent out, too. Check them out on Facebook at Stop the Car Trading Post.  They have some of the best posts about Yellowstone [...]

It’s warming up this weekend.  High temps predicted to be in the lower 90′s and that’s really hot for us.  We’ll keep cool with our “swamp cooler” and beat the heat. The stagecoach rides out of Roosevelt Lodge in Yellowstone always look like so much fun and we plan to do it one nice spring [...]

Every trip to Yellowstone is an adventure.  We saw this young elk calf on a hill above Mammoth Hotel.  He was with about 3 other young elk and an equal number of mature females.  He just posed for a couple of minutes for us so we could get a good picture. The near Lava Creek [...]

Mom is having a rough time right now.  God bless Mac and Mary and Roger and Susie for taking such good care of her!

“Another morning brings another sunrise, Every moment is a new surprise!” – lyrics from a song I wrote which are so appropriate for this morning. When I got up at 6am a pronghorn antelope and a deer were across the fence from each other at the bottom of our ridge.  Then Grandma Dora got up [...]

Happy Father’s Day to every father out there.  This is a picture of my Mom and Dad on their 70th wedding anniversary.  My Father passed away a couple years ago as he was approaching his 97th birthday and I will always treasure his love and wisdom.  Love you, Dad!! The media seem to portray most [...]
