The last time we were at the Park we came across these buffalo just on the north side of the road.  They are definitely munching sage brush and crunching through the snow.  With the warm temperatures we’ve ha for the past week, there must be quite a bit less snow by now. Buffalo Walking in [...]

Happy birthday to our twin great nieces in Ohio – hope you have a wonderful day.  The check is almost in the mail!! Sure sign of spring – Our pronghorns were back on the ridge yesterday morning just as the sun was coming up and shining so brightly.  Although Grandma Dora isn’t happy with this [...]

So, how many deer can you see in this picture? It’s amazing how they blend in with the background of winter grasses and the snow.  This reminded Grandma Dora of a Bev Doolittle painting where faces and animals are hidden in the scenery.

Yes, I typed that right.  We have bed “buds” NOT bugs!  Yesterday Grandma Dora was studying and the winds were howling, rain mixed with hail was pelting the house, thunder was cracking in the sky and “the boys” and I decided we’d just snuggle down.  Then Grandma Dora took a break, caught us in the [...]

Do you remember the words of this old, stand-by hymn: “Lord, life me up and let me stand by faith on Heaven’s table land, a higher place that I have found.  Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” This picture was taken a week or two ago a short distance inside the northeast gate of [...]

The wind here huffed and puffed and blew itself out!!  We got less than an inch of snow. The boys, Ruff and Redi, don’t like the wind.  So, and this is an older picture as you can tell by the wrapped Christmas package to the left, when it gets really windy the boys hunker down [...]

Wind, wind and more wind.  For the last 24 hours our winds have been averaging 60 miles an hour with a gust this morning around 6am of 71mph.  The rain has started and snow is on the way!! Hope we don’t get this much, but it sounds like we might.  We are supposed to have [...]

We’ve had snow going all around us for about the last week and did get 6 inches at the beginning of these storms, but it is completely gone now. However, check out this link http://www.yellowstone.net/ofliveoriginal.htm (http://www NULL.yellowstone NULL.net/ofliveoriginal NULL.htm) which is the web cam at Old Faithful and you’ll see how much snow they have up there [...]

Wouldn’t it be nice if winter could be like this? When it gets cold, Redi likes to snuggle down between the comforter and sheets on our guest bed.  I think he thinks it’s his bed!! We had winter for a couple of days, got 6 inches of snow, and now the sunshine is brilliant and [...]

Yesterday all the weather reports were predicting that we would have snow starting last night.  These birds all lined up on the power lines that run across our ridge.  Looked like they were preparing for a mass exodus.  Hope they got to a warmer climate before our snow started. As you can see from the [...]
