BITS & PIECES of DAYS

Here is a collection of various things not yet posted. We'll start with one of the jobs I had for a few weeks during calving. Little (orphan) Annie's mom couldn't feed her, so several of us took over the job until one of the other cows "adopted" her.
 This is Annie's new mamma. Her name is Cookie and her own calf is named Bert.

On one of our Sundays off, we traveled about 2 hours west to Saint Regis, Montana for their annual Flea Market. In spite of some rain, it was a beautiful ride toward Idaho.
 We have enjoyed over eight weeks of spring flowers that bloom at different times at various altitudes. These yellow members of the daisy family seem to travel around the state with us.



 We had a great time at the flea market and came back to Deer Lodge with a few "treasures."
A vise....


 He really likes his find!

 No, the puppies are not for sale!
 There were lots of interesting characters there today.
 Next...the weather.
Things have finally become more typical for the area. However, the weeks proceeding certainly provided some spectacular sky-dressing.
All these shots were taken from our backyard. The CYCLONE is our home on wheels.




 

My favorite, 2 + ROYGBIV's, low on the horizon.  Never saw anything like it before.
