Spring in MONTANA?

When it hits 42 degrees...and the sun comes out...

what did you expect...from Garvin?

Yep...he is THINKING IT IS SPRING TIME

and it is perfect to get out and

start working on the garden....

Well, not exactly because it was 42 degrees outside...

it was just that "Salt and Pepper's" pen needed

shoveling out...

It actually feels INCREDIBLE outside!

We have so become

"MONTANA" folks!

We thought that SPRING had ARRIVED and that

it was NO LONGER WINTER...!

(smile)

It is SPRING CLEANING time!

Thank goodness - this is Garvin's job!

 "Salt" is GRATEFUL, also...

By the looks of him...he was laying way too

much...in his own...messes...

Yeah...We LOVE all that manure...

hay...and soil...ALL MIXED together!

Thought you might enjoy all the scenery

that makes all of this 

...so WORTH LIVING HERE! 

Now, that the boys - "Pepper and Salt" have a clean "home" again...

ENJOY the mixed messages

of SPRING and WINTER... 

All taken on our property...

Hey...I watch where I am "walking"...

smile

From our Montana Home...

I took one picture this morning...and the other this evening...

I LOVE the VIEWS from our home...

Breath-taking...

I have so many of them...One day...I will post the BEST ONES...

but, for now...these two will do...

 This was taken this morning...from our FRONT yard...

The sky was dark...yet...the SUN lit up the mountain range...

 This was taken off our BACK porch...

I thought it would be fun...to take the sunset through the 

tree in our back yard...

(smile)

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day

I get more entertainment being around my grandchildren!

I believe being a GRANDPARENT has got to be

the BEST ROLE IN LIFE!

Here are some samples...of what I mean...

NEW YEAR'S EVE

Abe and Annie were packing up their stuff...to leave

early in the morning...Annie had just packed up

the "cooler"...and headed downstairs to work on

the final touches of packing...

However, these two little munchkins...

had ideas of their own...

They UNPACKED the cooler and strung out the

contents through the kitchen into the family room...

GOT TO LOVE these two "guilty" little faces!

(smile)

Garvin entertaining the twins...

and finally..."resting" with McKenzie...

NEW YEAR'S DAY

 Early morning - around 5:30 a.m. on New Year's Day

Abraham looking at something Garvin wanted him

to see on his computer...

 Abe playing with the girls before they got dressed to leave...

Garvin singing to Madison

You can "imagine" what she must be thinking...

(smile)

Wonderful picture...considering how EARLY it was in the morning!

McKenzie was not happy...when I had to let her go...

She loves to cuddle up to her "Granny"...

I might add...she loves cuddling up to her other Grandma...as well!

(smile)

I LOVE this picture of Daddy Abe and Madison!

 

When You Come to Visit Papa and Granny...

There are just some things that are just part of 

visiting Papa and Granny...So

far...TWO of our children...

have received the PRIVILEGE

of working with Garvin in the 

BARN...(smile)

Abraham and Annie are spending their

NEW YEAR'S time with us...

Abraham got "barn duty"...

(smile)

 Meet "Salt and Pepper"

They require LOTS of ATTENTION...

and "WORK"...

Garvin and Abe had to go and get more hay...

NO FOOD in the pastures at this time of year!

Abe putting "his back" into...

breaking up FROZEN manure...

 Garvin using the tractor to get up SNOW COVERED

cow manure...Ground is FROZEN and not getting much...

for the effort!

This is "Salt" breathing the "cold air"...

I thought is was cool...(sorry...for the pun)

(smile)

They were anxious to get back in the BARN...

for FOOD and a CLEAN BED!

TRUST me...these are the most 

PAMPERED steers on the PLANET!

 

A Visit to a Dear Friend's home in VIRGINIA

One of our dearest friends in FLORIDA...was the

WILKINS' family! While they lived there, we became GREAT friends...

We even have some GREAT THANKSGIVING CAMPING pictures

with their family...which made for us some FUN FUN FUN "WONDERFUL MEMORIES"...

Sometime...I will need to put those up...

Now, they live in Mechanicsville, VIRGINIA!

Rebekah, the children, and I stopped by to see her...

while on our way to see Caleb and his family!

I felt as close to her...as I did when we were all together in Florida!

Nothing changes between "sisters" in Zion!

Brenda is holding Rebekah's "Jane"...

While Bekah tried to feed baby Jane...

Brenda's little dog...tried to get acquainted with the two of them...

I fell in LOVE with their property!

Fall in the air...Logan out investigating the animals...

particularly the horses...

Logan LOVED the little "pony"...not certain which was taller...

this pony or one of their dogs...you saw pictured earlier...

I do believe...Logan is fascinated by all the different horses...

Logan kept crawling through the fences...something he learned

at our place in MONTANA! (smile)

Yep...another horse...he wanted to get to know...

It was fun watching this cat...with Bekah...

Not certain he/or she could smell "milk" or not...but, the cat

kept very close to Bekah...(smile)

Our VISIT ended all too soon! LOVE YOU BRENDA!!!!!
