Wooly Deer Mammoth

While watching a movie set in Alaska last night, my imagination and few glasses of wine were convinced that they had made a scientific breakthrough.

The moose, is not just a moose.  It is actually a wooly deer mammoth.

Dandelions

With every dandelion I cut from my yard, I try and create a balance between well maintained weed-free grass and leaving resources for bees.  Dandelions are one of the first sources of pollen for struggling bee populations in spring.  Our yard has been an ample buffet of sourts, and though there are now fewer items on the menu, I left a small patch on the North end for our pollinating friends.

Dark Mantle

Being the life of the party, of every party, can be a uniquely dark mantle to wear upon one's life.

Waiting

Waiting for the weather to turn nice enough to plant grass seeds in Montana is not unlike watching a pot of water come to boil.  It always takes longer than you think.

Strength from Ease

One thing in my life that makes me think of myself as a little bit hardier than other Americans, is my ability to happily eat the exact same meal for breakfast and lunch every single day of the work week.  

Strength through ease.
