Well, perhaps the Plains Conservation Center's West Bijou location! I've been by that Buffalo Lookout on I-70 countless times. I've seen the buffalo about once every ten years! I hear Parker had a moose running around it recently ~ but it's been relocated! I hope you're warm today!

I feel that if people are going to spend time looking at my blog, then I need to give them the best photography, writing, and visual layout I can. It means I spend hours, sometimes many hours on a post. I plan to do some posts on my adopted garden! I went to an "open house" back in late August, and I just haven't had the time to get to the garden posts yet. I have so many blog topics backed up in my head! I thought I had retired, but I'm finding that being a homemaker takes tons of time too ~ especially since I'm trying to ease things for Terry who is still working. He did so much to support me when I was a teacher and a union leader. Here come the holidays!!!!! Yikes ~ up to my chin in baking and preparing! But it's fun ~ loads of fun! Take care!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-84065744891722223702013-11-21T08:48:07.123-07:002013-11-21T08:48:07.123-07:00Hi Sue!

She's a healing touch therapist and much, much more. She works from her home, and if anyone would understand it would be her. She's like me: dozens of irons in the fire, a touch of ADHD, broad interest in people and things all around her. She's also a well-known graphologist, an author, a speaker, and, and, and! I'm glad that you got a blue sky break! We went from warm and sunny yesterday afternoon to below freezing and snow today! It took my husband more than twice as long to drive to work today. The roads are bad. But this being Colorado, the sun will be back tomorrow and melting everything away! I hope that you are enjoying a brighter day today!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-90026101140078151572013-11-21T08:40:52.234-07:002013-11-21T08:40:52.234-07:00Thanks, GT!

I was fortunate to spend a lot of time in my early years in wilderness areas. Kuddos to you nurturing a love of nature in Sophie and Clara! I totally get your excitement about the buck! I can remember one place where I lived in Nova Scotia when a big buck and some does were eating apples off an apple tree near our house. It was pure magic for me!

Now THAT is a blue sky if I ever saw one.<br />I love your adopted garden too....we've 'played' with ornamental grasses and they 'show' so well all year round.<br />Some times, maybe most for me, SOOC is just not good enough.

Especially the mountains that rest so gracefully on the horizon, and loom so majestically over every westward view. I love those mountains. They make my heart soar.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the antelope and deer photos! No appointment (well, almost) is more important than getting a good shot. :)<br /><br />P.S. Those blue skies flew over to Wisconsin to give us a glorious Tuesday sandwiched between a grey drippy Monday and a grey damp Wednesday.

Of course here in North Carolina we also have some gorgeous "tarheel blue" skies. My parents have bucks in their backyard sometimes when I visit. I go NUTS and my parents think I'm off my rocker. But they're IN THE BACKYARD. I'm excited now just thinking about it.

We had a buck run through the green space in back of our home one fall season. I've never seen anything like that. It was quite an amazing experience. And a few weeks ago, there was a coyote waiting patiently on the sidewalk to cross the street one night. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. I can't tell you how much that made me laugh!Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-51141378397887870412013-11-20T12:50:05.622-07:002013-11-20T12:50:05.622-07:00Yes, in time management, one must have priorities....Yes, in time management, one must have priorities.
