I may have to stop reading your blog as you continuously make me wish I could just up and leave my “life” as it is in my congested village!
seriously,,,though, thank you for showing me the gorgeous country that I hope to see someday and you know I can’t stop reading. :-)
stay safe.
Agreed! I was also wondering, if you don’t mind sharing, how is your farmily arranged, location-wise? I.e., you wrote earlier that Chloe was barking at the elk like a mad(wo)man, so I’m assuming she was inside your trailer? Does Charlie come inside too? I’m guessing the cows are outside day and night. What about the kitties, do they come and go? Do they wander off most nights? I’m just curious. :) If you don’t mind sharing, I’d appreciate it, but if this is too much prying, that’s, of course, cool too. Thanks for sharing everything else with us!

beautiful feather too.
Jenn September 12th, 2011 @ 11:42 am
Absolutely stunning & beautiful. Living there must be like heaven on earth.
And once again, my spirit is renewed – if only for a moment. Priceless. Thank you.

I could blog forever looking at that view! Simply amazing!

When are you heading down, I saw ” red dirt in my soul” is heading their cows back ? Or will you stay the winter like Dick Proenneke, alone in the wilderness, in Alaska for 30 years…
We need a new Mayor for the farm, who will it be ? Fiona or Sir Baby or Cisco ? Will you bring in chickens this year ?
Karen September 12th, 2011 @ 1:58 pm
I’ll bet nearly all of your readers have “office envy”. BTW, what kind of feather is that?
I once escaped to a friend’s cabin in the foothills of the Shenandoah in the springtime, driving down the lane of dogwoods….all alone for 3 days! I miss it and envy you the beauty and solitude.
This blog inspires me so much. With a view like that, of course you don’t want to spend all day on the internet. I don’t get to see anything like that too often. I don’t have a driver’s license yet because L.A traffic scares the bejeezus out of me, but someday I hope to have my own Vespa adventure and experience similar things.

Beautiful view!
It’s interesting to me how many people who post want to have their own “close-to-nature” experience. I have read that some pyschologists and educators think we humans NEED contact with the natural world, and a lack of it is very bad for developing children.
I guess I was very lucky to have had that experience as a youngster.

Thank you for sharing – so beautiful. How I wish you could stay longer, as I know it’s going to be hard to leave. Lots to look forward to, though, for next year! It does my heart and soul such good to visualize you and most of the farmily in that beautiful setting. Doesn’t get much better ‘n animals who are utterly content.

OT, but what’s happening re: Ricardo? Surely the dog owners must at least pay some compensation.
Barbara September 12th, 2011 @ 8:17 pm
What bird belongs to that beautiful feather?
Scotty September 12th, 2011 @ 11:01 pm
it won’t be too long before you come down from the mountains? did you get your truck fixed? (don’t let your buddies from the first response team help you with your truck they will turn it into a convertible.)
Katbalu September 13th, 2011 @ 4:27 am
You put the adventure in me.
Amy September 13th, 2011 @ 4:41 am
Pretty wonderful is right! Thanks for sharing. May we see a picture of the magnificent view beyond, please?

Nice! Technology meets nature. I knew there had to be a peaceful balance.
Erin September 13th, 2011 @ 11:28 am
I have been wondering this for a while now – I live in Jackson, WY (a huge move for a New Zealander who has spent the last 4 years in Tokyo, Sydney and Indonesia) and I hike and camp A LOT – I am always very cautious of bears.. I know it is particularly bad Grizz country where i am – is it a concern for you or are they not as intense around there? (Something i’ve wondered since you moved up to your little slice of heaven!))
Should have my own “blogspot” soon. For the next two months it will continue to be a place to visit and then return to the tiny apartment in town to post…but by November I can post directly from my inspirational spot. May just be a little to cold to do it from outdoors :)

Just wondering…do you play jazz for Daisy, Frisco, et al???

That doesn’t suck. That doesn’t suck at all! :-)

Native Americans believe feathers are blessings….you have been blessed.

I just returned from a road trip through Montana and Wyoming, and it is GORGEOUS country out there. :)

I love the hand written notes. So much more
personal. Like getting a letter from you.
