Window on Cherry Pie Lane

Thursday, September 9 - Tristan is not the best with sharing, as you can see from this photo. Lily was begging to have a turn and the tears were flowing freely. I can not believe how itouch savy she is. That little stinker knows her way around those apps. It makes a great incentive for room cleaning and being nice to each other. Rain forecast for the rest of the week. I wonder if Carl will ever get his barley in? He certainly is not alone though. There are so many crops waiting to ripen, especially in the Highwood/Fort Benton area.

Wednesday, September 8 - I delivered the wedding pictures to the mother of the bride yesterday. This is the photo that is her favorite.  She is sending it to her brothers and sisters who are still in the colony. I did a book for the bride of my favorite 200 photos which the mom liked so much that she asked if I would do one for her also. I have never seen people so excited with photos. I wonder which the bride is going to like best? It was a fun project and made a great wedding gift.

Tuesday, September 7 - Fall is definitely in the air. I just talked to Mom and it was 35 degrees there this morning. Soon we will be seeing the beautiful colors in the mountains again, I hope. We missed that several years in the past when it froze first and the leaves never had a chance to turn.My sis hiked up to our homestead in the Highwoods Friday and it is still green there.  It is a gorgeous day out, but the forecast calls for more rain later this week. I finished all the wedding photos yesterday and delivered them to the bride’s mother. The whole family seemed thrilled with them. It was fun watching them all crowded around and remembering that day. I shot this photo at Augusta on my way home from Freeze Out with Leslee and Curtis. What an excellent photo op day that was!

Monday, September 6 - Today is your birthday, Tiffany!! Hope you have a wonderful day. Don’t know how relaxing it will be with the ‘wrecking crew’ underfoot. Hope you got to do something pampering for yourself today. These little guys remind me of your two. I think that this doe has had her hands full at times this summer too. Aren’t you glad that your two are confined - that you don’t have to chase them all over the hillsides?

Sunday, September 5 - The pumpkins are still blooming like crazy in my little garden bed. There is not much hope for the fruit to set on and make it to maturity though this late in the season. We are supposed to have a nice warm labor day weekend before a change to cooler temps.

Saturday, September 4 - The deer were out in force this morning. The fawns at the barn are getting bigger every day. Bryton and Gage  say ‘bam’ when they see them. They are future little hunters for sure. Their daddy would be proud!!

Friday, August 3 - What a big girl, Lily is getting to be. That big 2nd birthday is coming in a couple of months. I have had lots of comments that she is looking more and more like her daddy.

Thursday, September 2 - Wow, here we are already in September. Fall is going to be on us soon. Love the colors that brings though, but not the colder weather. This is a shot of an old building down at the barn that is used for a calf shelter in the winter. I am not wanting to think about winter yet, for sure.

Wednesday, September 1 - Took these this morning at the barn during that nice gentle rain we were having. It turned to quite a downpour shortly, so was glad I did my shooting early. Not sure what that reflection is, but thought it was interesting just the same. Make sure to click on a photo to enlarge. Wish I could have found a spider web. Had Lily for a few hours today and she was a little card, like always. My new windows are all in but one which came cut the wrong size. Hopefully that will be in by next week.

Tuesday, August 31 - Chris is 30 years old now and sure doesn’t look or act like it. She is still hard to catch out in the pasture and can run like the wind. Pretty good for an old gal. Wish I had that much spunk. I snapped these with my G11 this morning before it started to pour. The clouds were misting at the time, but it sure gave me some nice diffused light.
