Staying With Friends

The last week I have been enjoying the excellent hospitality and company of our friends Laura, Bryce and Renee in Montana. Here are some scenes from my week.

Calves Are So Darling:

This one reminded me of some I used to take care of. They're so soft and warm. Their tongues feel like sandpaper and their noses are so wet and sloppy. They are so cute!

The Flowers in Montana are Beautiful!

Wild Roses

Yellow Prickly Pear



Thistle

Hiking:
We Decided to go hiking at West Boulder Meadows up in the hills south of Big Timber. It was about a four mile hike round trip. Lots of fun and a pleasant trail.

We saw lots of burn area-it's amazing how black the trees will stay so long after a fire
