Bison around the bend

In Winfield, I can sit in my sunroom and watch the chipmunks and squirrles hanging out.  The other morning, I was walking to the EDR-employee dining room, and what I was watching was a big old bison in the road eating flowers around the fire hydrant.  Not something I expect to see in Winfield.  There is some debate about if his name is Boris or George.  He does roam through the area a lot, hangs out near the river that runs nearby.  One day, he decided to take a nap in front of one of the cabins that tourist rent, and he was sleeping too close to the door for them to leave the place comfortably.  Eventually, he did more on, but left evidence of his being there.  Ah, living in Yellowstone has some weird happenings.

I went out the other night to watch Old Faithful erupt under an almost full moon.  I woke up because the moon was shinning in  my window and I though, "What the heck.  When will I get to see this again?"  So off I trudge, the full 5 minute walk, and sit and wait to see if my timing is anywhere near accurate.  It was a beautiful night, very clear, fairly warmish and I was rewarded.  It is not as dramatic as daytime, but is nevertheless very nice, erie even. 

I will be home in less than a month.  In some ways, this time has flown by in a real hurry.  There are still things I wanted to do, and some things I won't get around to doing.  I have made some good friends that I hope I wil l continue being friends with. One of these blogs I will give a good descriptions of everyone important including pictures.

I am able to actually write my blog in the rec room again.  I can't attach photos, but being able to socalize as I write is really nice.  Tonight about 10 people are in here, some on their computers, some sitting around kibitzing, a nice social place to hang out.

Work is going fine.  I have been closing quite a few times in the past  2 weeks.  Not my favorite thing to do, but I guess I have to take my turn.  Work is interfering with my social life, for sure.  But that is the price for living in Yellowstone.  More later.

Still more art

Image
gorgeous sunset taken by Flora who especially liked the juxtaposition of the Amish hay mounds and the electric wires.    This blog starts off with a picture just to get your attention. Flora was quick on the camera button, once again. I'm having issues thinking of different names for the blog title. I seem to be in a rut. but then again, perhaps I am. The art classes are great.  As much as I enjoyed watercolor at Yellowstone. it was only a tiny taste of how satisfying it is.  Joan and I are both surprised and quite pleased with the results we have. We both feel like we discovered something important to us, to our souls, or our spirits.  Anyway, all the pictures are mine, but you get to meet Joan and Jane and a glimpse of Susan. I have some descriptions on each one to let you get the feel of it.  I wish I could explain the  joy painting these pictures gives me.  I had no idea I could actually do something like this, but then again -- it is...

Bozeman

Clara and I met up with Julie, friend from Bozeman who took us on a tour of the town, lunch at a neat restaurant, the Naked Noodle, and then the Museum.  MOR--Museum of the Rockies, they have a spectacular dinosaur collection and lots more.  a nice laid back day with Clara and Julie.  Two more days before I head to Yellowstone.  I vacillate between anxiety and anticipation.  Sometimes at the same time.

Saturday Night Radio

I know listening to the radio Saturday night doesn't sound like a barrel of monkeys, but it truly is a relaxing way to spend the evening. Especially since I was radio deprived in Yellowstone aka YNP.  Way back in the day, 1990's I started listening to Saturday night PBS radio shows while Than did the race track announcer at Greenwood Action Track.  The newest show, Live from here  isn't as good as  Prairie Home Companion,  but I may just be reluctant to change.  The music is really good. The comedy is amusing, sometimes roaring funny. I dropped my phone in the toilet bowl the other day.  I didn't even realize that I had lost it.  Than comes out of the bathroom asking why my phone is in the toilet. I have lost almost all the the phone numbers I had. How annoying.  I did get a new phone, so another phone to learn. Will it ever end. Please call me to find out if I lost your number.  I probably did.  Whoever is reading this, plea...
