In the mid-1840’s emigrants started traveling across this continent. My husband and I have followed a lot of the Oregon Trail, but this past weekend we covered the stretch from east of Hwy 89 near what is known as Star Valley in Wyoming. The cut across led us to Continue reading →

052 copyWe were treated to a dozen or so hummingbirds at our feeders last night – but they wouldn’t all pose for me at the same time! Nothing like in ’07 when we had around fifty and were refilling feeders three times a day. The deck buzzed with their activity. Such fun to watch. Mischievous little things. 🙂

Baby tree swallow #1. It appears that he has two siblings. They aren’t ready to meet the world yet but it shouldn’t be too much longer. The parents are definitely kept busy bringing home the insects! Yuk! It takes thousands of prey per day to feed the babies. (Aren’t we glad our little ones just need milk!) They also are still working hard to keep them warm. The temperatures here have been cooler than usual so it increases their workload. Never a minute’s rest for parents of new babies. 🙂

Watch Where you Step!

015The wind blew us into Sydney, Nebraska our first day out. My husband always has his priorities right – first stop Cabela’s – see previous post. It seemed like whichever way we were going there was a crosswind – a strong one!
The pond on Cabela’s grounds is beautiful and filled with hundreds of geese. They occupy the pond, walk all around the area, and settle their little families wherever they want to. It’s a delight – just as long as you watch where you step!

004In 1961 Dick Cabella attended a furniture show in Chicago where he purchased some fishing flies. Upon his return home in Chappell, Nebraska he put an ad in the Casper, Wyoming paper offering “12 hand-tied flies for one dollar.” He got one response – so he Continue reading →

I always try to start my mornings off right but I outdid myself this morning. I had just finished painting one of my bathrooms and needed to clean some paint residue out of my laundry sink so I grabbed a bottle of 409 off the shelf and started spraying. I was soon Continue reading →
