Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Twenty-Six

I have been lax in updating this road trip. Life intrudes. Stuff intrudes. Yet here I am again, just like the little engine that could. So hang on, here we go!

At the end of Part Twenty-Five, we’d just hit the motel in Blackfoot, Idaho. There weren’t a lot of people there and we thought about hitting the jacuzzi, but by now it was almost ten p.m. so we bagged it, showered, and went to bed. Continue reading

Farm Life On Another Farm

One of my favorite blogs is Chickens in the Road written and photographed by Suzanne McMinn. It’s a fantastic combination of farm life, chickens, recipes, humor, and great photography, I’m always glad to see a new post in my feeds.

This video from Suzanne gives me a smile every single time I see it, and I’ve watched it over and over again. Suzanne graciously gave me her permission to put it here so that you folks could enjoy it too.

Be sure your volume is up so you can hear the hoofbeats. OMG, this is so dang cute! I love the bouncing!! Who says sheep can’t play tag! Enjoy! When you’re pau watching the video, go enjoy the rest of Suzanne’s awesome blog!

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Twenty-Five

Back on da road again after stopping to watch the fisherman for a bit. This part of the trip marks the end of our time in Yellowstone, and I must admit I was feeling kinda wai maka about the whole thing. Our trip through was so wonderful but I longed for more time to explore this stunningly beautiful area of the world. Doing this road trip has been good for me, because I have the chance to re-live the wonderful memories we made there. I know we’ll be back!

Hibiscus in August

Usually when it looks like we’re gonna get a freeze, we bring in all my tropical plants. Into the dining room. Which then becomes a solarium of sorts. Or maybe a green house. Or maybe a room where Nolemana tells me it’s too crowded, too full of plants and “are you sure you really need to do this?”

Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed, Part Twenty-Four

Ho, long time no update, yeah? This is why. Like I said before, we’d saved my Canon camera memory card to take the video of Old Faithful with; I also had my old Nikon, and Nolemana had his Olympus and his small Panasonic.

My Canon had no memory left, so we started using whatever camera was the most handy, and so in trying to make some kind of consecutive narrative here, I had to try figure out which photo came next according to the time stamps on the photos. Because we weren’t nearly as organized as we were on our Montana trip this year. It took me a lot longer than I’d thought, because the other problem was that we forgot to set the correct time stamps before we left; and of course there were the time changes, too.
