Sacajawea hike

Fairy Lake

Found some pics from last month

Skipping school

Dragged the Lady and the Man out for today's hike (MID-DAY!!), on Drinking Horse Mountain. Not very far, but steep. The Man took some photos (into the sun, with a phone camera, arrgh) but you get the idea. It looks hot, but was about 75°, with a nice breeze. Not enough creeks to play in, but enough mud to make the Man swear loudly as we got into the car, and to warrant a hosing before we got to go into the house.

Click to see the tiny bench, lower middle. Nice place to sit down and catch your breath.













Here's me and MamaLu, returning back to check on the slow people.

And a quickie movie...

Stone Creek

On an old logging road, we can hear elk bugling.

The dog park was super crowded!

Big crowd the other day...

Where firewood comes from

The Lady is back from Miceland – actually Iceland I was later informed – and did not bring us any mice.  Since MamaLu has taught me that mice live in woodpiles, we have begun a family tradition of unstacking all the firewood, which is very very fun, despite the yelling from the Man. He has to go and restack all the wood and this does not make him happy.

He ordered more firewood in an attempt to overwhelm us with choice, but it was all so well stacked and very high, we haven't figured out how to get to all the juicy mice hidden within. Give us a day or two.

Here's a photo of where the wood came from... apparently the guy we buy from (our "dealer") has a connection up in the woods somewhere where he buys big trees and cuts them down to size.

At least this year we bought firewood before it snowed, lesson learned from last year. MamaLu tells me that laying in front of the fire is one of life's great pleasures... can't wait until winter. It was a brisk 36° this morning, so fall's on the way!
