Flowers of Montana!!! And Bailey....before and after

I wanted you to see the flowers of Montana...


These grow wild all over the place.  This is on our property.

I bought this beauty at The Farm Chick Show..  You can bet I got a lot of teasing about this, a neighbor brought me a couple old rusty cans to make fun of me.  I loved them!!!  Go ahead make fun!!!

Just a few of the old bottles I bought from my friend Anita at Vintiquities.
I'm so sad I didn't take pictures of her and her shop this time.
You know when you just get comfortable and don't see what's around you.
She has the most adorable shop in Somers Montana, right on Flathead Lake.


More lavender from the lavender field we went to.
I love the soft pink.

I got this at The Farm Chick Show also. An old sap bucket.
I love the green.

The contrast of the green and pink are perfect.

These are dried peonies!!
Anita did this so I had to try and it worked!!
A beautiful soft creamy color with little streaks of pink.


I might have shown you this, an old chicken feeder.  I put succulents in.

I hope it makes it thru the winter.
The curly thing is suppose to attract hummingbirds.


Cherries are big in the Flathead Valley.


I hope to have a tree when I move there.

I just love them and what they do.

Do you see what this is???
Hail!!!

I didn't know what that noise was untill I went outside.

And saw this!!

I was doing laundry and walked over to the lake and saw this.
My new rule is never go without my camera.

I thought this was cool.
Me taking a picture of my kitchen window reflecting back to me and my view from my kitchen window!!



My little cabin in the woods.
I sit on that porch all the time. I seem to read more when I'm there.
And that's a good thing.
We bought a flat screen TV when we got there.  Used it for 4 weeks untill it started heating up and turning off. Returned it.  So we had a free flat screen for the time we were there.
Just for DVD's, we don't get any reception at all.

I like this.

Morning walk down by the lake.  Why did I start doing this the last week I was there?!
Amazing!!

Someone's front yard.

This is real, not just a picture.

I found these boots at the green mall(dump).
I put jars inside to hold the water.

Picked those wild daisies and WELL LA!!
Free!

Goodbye my sweet Lakeside.
You will be covered in snow the next time I'm here.
Unless I get to go back for Cage and Tony's wedding in Sept. 
I'm hoping....

There's Somers where my friend Anita is.
See her on her porch?
I do!!
Bye Anita.
I will take pictures at Christmas so dress up!!!

Flying amazes me.

Stunning!!!


I planted these before I left.
I missed the grand finally.

Another gift from God to us.. I think.

Perfect...

These are under the Sunflowers.

I just eat them off the vine.

And then there is my Bailey, so glad I'm back.
He looks hot, doesn't he?!

Not anymore!!!


He loves it, he's like a puppy again.
And he's not fat!!!
I guess I wouldn't be fat either if I were shaved...hehe.
I hope you are having a fun Sunday.
I will be working on the back yard and hopefully on some furniture.
Thank you for sticking with me thru all these pictures. I hope I didn't bore you.

These two grazed on the road down the mountain from us.
Very friendly

So sweet.  Too bad I'm afraid of horses, I will pet them and talk to them but not ride them.

Lakeside decoy Lucky.  You see him all over lakeside parked on the side of the road.  He does his job of slowing people down!



Stunning landscapes!

More good friends and family.
David(brother in law), Mies and Tony, friends we love being with!
Mies makes the best Mojitos!!

Cathy and Debbie on the right!  We enjoy spending time with these people.
I'm sorry I forgot the couple's name on the left.   New friends we will have to get to know better the next time.

Emmary Grace!!
It was storming so she stays in her princess house until the storm passes.
And then we all have fun!
Love you little girl!!!
Come to Orlando and stay with me.
I live 30 min. from Walt Disney World!!!!


The guys with that beautiful Flathead lake behind them.
It takes my breath away every time! The lake not the boys...sorry boys...love you all.

Meet Scout, we found her downtown Kalispell.  Luckily her owner found her after 4 days in the Flathead shelter before we took her back to Florida.  A long story!

Visiting Deb, who grows lavender just down the road from us.

Debbie and I relaxing in the lavender field.
Now I know I can grow lavender when I move to Montana!


Carmen and Larry, more good friends!

The hubby and high school friend Debbie who came out for a visit.

The duck races that I won last year but not this year.
Free beer for a year!!!!
It was a great run!

Tony Baloney as his mother calls him.
I'm sorry I don't know this lady's name.  I think she owns The Tamarack.

I left him out there...he hates the heat of Florida.
Let's see how long it takes him to miss us.
I know I missed my blogging friends.  I have had computer issues and downloading picture issues.
I should be back on track next week.
Lots of yard work to do!!
Enjoy your weekend my friends..
Hurry home Chic!!!!
xoxo
