Like many good mothers, Pippi takes lots of photos. She recently shared all these wonderful pictures from her week here with the kids for Ranch Camp. You can find Part I here: https://couleecreekranch.com/2014/10/16/ranch-camp-2014/
It’s such a pleasure to think back to the golden days of autumn now that winter is settling in around us and whisking the last brown leaves off trees with icy fingers. I continue to hope that winter, with its long dark nights, will bring me more time for writing and reminiscing here. For now, here are the last of the fall memories:
Nothing captures the taste of fall as well as fresh-pressed apple ciderLip-smacking good!It’s time for some French toastPicking the last of the ‘maters before the temperature drops. Pippi and family arrived on a 90 degree day, so hot we went swimming. They were ushered out five days later by 30 degree winds and snowRed Talus meets Red Angus cattle, aka hamburger cowsBaby Annika’s first 4-wheeler ride
I live in Montana with my husband Bart. I enjoy working in the garden, taking care of the animals, and exploring the prairie with my dogs, my binoculars, and a reverence for the natural world.

Heather, I share your posts with my best friend since 7th grade, Rosemary, who now lives in TN. She was in my wedding party along with your dad. Anyway, she and I both are inspired and uplifted by your posts and lifestyle and I will now share this latest post with her. I have only 7 chickens, in a small house in my backyard, who are just beginning to lay. Today I got 3 eggs! love, cousin (somewhat removed) Marcia
Marcia,
I am glad that you enjoy reading my posts! It’s great to get that feedback – it keeps me motivated to share more stories. I hope your chickens keep laying through the winter. Ours haven’t dared to come out into the snow today even though it’s not that cold. I think they just need to get used to winter again! Love, Heather
