August already

Wow, here it is August.  I went on a hike today that I originally did in May and am impressed on the difference in vegetation.  I didn't have to wear gloves, hat and mittens for one thing.  And there was no snow on the ground.  I really doubted that it would actually turn to spring, much less summer on that first hike.

I actually didn't do the exact hike, but added a twist that took me to Solitary Geyser. I have some nice pictures, but you won't see them until tomorrow.  Rose and I are going to Big Sky, Idaho (actually Montana) for a doctor's appointment for her.  Nothing serious, just a change in medication for her asthma, according to her.  What also will happen is a stop at the library to use their wifi so i'll be able to add some pictures to tomorrow's blog.

We are also thinking about going to Bozeman for the Sweet Pea Festival.  That is still up in the air but it is a possibility.  Bozeman is about a 2 hour drive.  After Friday's drive, again about 2 hours, we may not be in the mood to drive that far.  There is still alot of thing around Yellowstone that we haven't seen, and a few hikes we want to go on.

We are in the midst of a lightening and thunder storm right now.  Rose doesn't get to see much lightening, being from California, so she's hoping it's a good storm.  I'm hoping for a rainbow.  I haven't seen any here yet.  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...
