Crazy Weather!

Wow! Today's weather was wild! It was snowy, windy, cloudy AND sunshine with blue sky.

There is a well known saying here in Montana, "If you don't like the weather wait ten minutes and it will change" this is exactly what happened today.
See the *snow*  in the sun?

The mountains were haunty looking, like a bad prop in a movie,,,they didn't look real.


Sorting,  purging, packing and burning were still on the agenda and I accomplished quite a bit. The garage looks like it ate a yard sale and barfed it up! I took a big load of stuff to our local "free" store and donated it.


(My brother will be so proud of me because this means it is less stuff he has to help move!!)

AND THEN, went out to my dads ranch and fired up the little yard pit.

I still had papers from my 20 year marriage and finally got to burn them! 

Lola and her dog cousin Shelby love to play together,,, generally getting in the way.

Little donned her new riding coat and joined us as we burned my old life away.




One thing about Lola is she LIVES to roll in cow shit and eagerly finds the nearest pile as soon as we get to dad's house! However, she hates her bath!
(((((How about that nasty blue paint?? My landlord would never let me paint the bathroom so I've had to live with that for the last five years!))))

Until next time, Trust and Believe.

IN THE BEGINNING...

HELLO FROM MONTANA,,,,, This is my first blog post! My name is Karren but most people call me Sis.  I live in Western Montana and decided to start blogging about my area and to memorialize my simple, ordinary life.


I feel so blessed to live in such a rural and beautiful place. I grew up here in Western Montana and wouldn't have it any other way.


Why start blogging now?? Well, I am starting several new things at once so why not! To begin with, I will be moving in April if everything goes according to plan, I am graduating with my Paralegal Degree in May and will be so excited to have everything done.
 The calm in the morning was interrupted by::::::::::::


 packing, purging, sorting and burning!!


"Moving food",,,,easy and sinful  meet at last!
Hope you enjoyed my first post. Please be patient with me until I learn how to do this blogging thing, I am winging it, learning as we go.........
