...summer on the prairie...

...is fantastic and beautiful. Was out on Jack Sprat and took some pictures of the cactus flowering. No more words are neccessary...

...blah,blah, blah...

...poor Cache...

...it has been raining here for the last week. Don't get me wrong, (and mostly because I am a farmers wife), rain is good. Blessed even. I am, however, beginning to think I live in a rainforest or Portland, where I am told by my sister-in-law, it is gray and gloomy 90% of the time. I live on the prairie in Montana for a reason. I like space... and warmth. Lots of space... and WARMTH!

...life is going on all around us...

...since it'sbeen a while, I have much to report. Don't know if I feel up to it, but here goes...

...Steve's father passed away on my brother's birthday. Jack was a true gentleman and I will miss him. I know that he is with his wife in heaven and they are finally free from the bounds of human frailty. Sounds deep and even provocative, but something I believe in wholeheartedly...

...school is finally out, and since I had my yearly evaluation where I was told I didn't handle change well, I am sooo...happy to be moving on to the next year. I am good at my job, but, in effect when I look at what they (being the administration) mean, "correct" is all I can say. I have mourned my job change for the last three years. Time to move on...

...we are slowly getting things ready for the final move over to the homestead. More of that story later...

...here I am, doing a little goofing off, till next time...
