HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We had a great Thanksgiving feast as we always do.  I ate way tooooo much, but just love it.  It is cold here in Montana right now.  Just single digits most of the time, but a few below zero readings in the morning.  Not a lot of snow on the ground right now and nothing forecast for the next week.  Our little ski resort might open up on Dec 3rd but that is just tentative.

These two like to take naps together on the bed.

A couple of mountain lions came wondering through near Carl's cabin.

UPDATE 10 NOVEMBER 2015

Just a few pictures of what has been going on around our place.  Of course the big news is the hunting season and we have had a few successful hunters around here (Carl, Doug, and Brenda and Ross Bogue).  Not as many as they were hoping, but a couple of folks have filled their tags.  The weather has been pretty darn good with some moisture which we really needed, and some snow has fallen also in the last few days.

Fall foliage along a creek.

Carl getting ready to clean his cow elk.

And battery powered saws have taken the place of hatches and hand saws when it come to field butchering.

And Dell the cat is always happy to have her picture taken.

A little rainbow from the upper fire pit.

Some of the leaves have not fallen off.

And of course the dog with his orange T shirt is always ready to have his picture taken.

Snow in the higher mountains.

Lots of elk still around though.

A fresh dusting of snow.

Nap time for the kids.
