Short Blog – Long Day…………My cousin came up from Utah earlier in the week and today we, my cousin, my husband, and myself, spent the day doing beets.
Oh, forgot to add that little bunny foo-foo got in the garden and decided he liked beets too…..little brat. Instead of starting one beet and finishing it, he had to take big chunk out of several beets, ruining the entire beet.
Around 6:50 this morning, my husband was headed to work when he called me at our home to let me know there were some moose in the field to the west of our home. I zipped out of the house hoping to get a good picture of them. At first, I just saw this little fellow standing about mid-field looking right at me – aha, photo moment.
But then……and, oh, but then, look what I spotted further down the field off to the left-hand side. Yes indeed – he was certainly big. Where he was so far away, the pictures are a little blurry but you still can get the jest of how big he is!
Later this afternoon, around 5:30 p.m., I went outside to throw away some potato peelings when I spotted moose tracks in our driveway. The tracks didn’t show up well enough to get pictures but as I walked further away, there was a partially dried up puddle from a rain storm we received Saturday afternoon. On the side of this dried puddle was a pretty good moose track. It measured 5” x 5”. My husband said the track must have been from the smaller moose.
I’ll bet you can’t guess where I’ll most likely be early in the morning!
Isn’t it amazing when you look at something from a distance and it is so pretty and very appealing to the eyes.
Then upon closer observation, you see all the prickly little thorns all over what you thought was pretty.
Soon, all those pretty, little purple flowers aren’t looking so pretty after all. Different, but definitely not too pretty.
And now, those little pretties are scattering seed all over the place, causing havoc everywhere, making more of the pretties you liked in the beginning.
No matter which direction you look, whether looking out our home windows or anywhere on our property, you see mountains in all directions. I just love the mountains and I couldn’t even imagine living anywhere that did not have mountains. What a majestic beauty there is to behold when looking at the mountains. Whether it’s winter, summer, spring or fall, the mountains tell a story. All of the following pictures were taken from or around our home. Ahhhh! A lot of “Take-Your-Breath-Away” moments, for sure.
