We picked a great time to return to
Montana this year. It was a beautiful month. Hope I don't wear
you out with all the sky pictures, I can't seem to stop myself.

We feel so blessed to have loons living in the lake in
front of our house.
They make the most beautiful sounds, and it is very fun to watch them live
life.
I will share a sneak preview of news we learned in June -
they are now the
proud parents of two baby loons!
Here is a link to a page where you can hear
the different Loon calls and get a translation of them.

This picture shows the loon just going down for a dive. |

One Saturday the Casazza family got together to work the
cows for the spring.
Being not quite at home on a ranch, I swooped in for a few pictures and got
out of there again real quick!

Rose, Ashley, Mark, Dan Sr, Eric, Tracie, Dan (you can't
see him), and Cody
all working together |
Family friends keep horses at the ranch and this one had a cute
little foal |
| |
|
 |
 |
| It was really testing out its bucking muscles! |

Our home. Sometimes I can't even believe it.

| Eric tending to our burn pile before it gets too dry to
clean it up. |
See the deer behind the barn? They aren't afraid of
anything, even fire. |
| |
|
I thought that was a neat cloud formation on the left side
|
 |
| |
Here I take you with us on our favorite walk. The
irrigation ditch to the left
makes a lovely burbling sound and the cottonwoods make the air smell amazing. |
| |
|
 |
 |
This tree is HUGE. You can't tell from here because
the base of it is
far down in a deep gully. Eric tried to wrap his arms around the
base
and got only about half way, so that makes it about 12' around I think.
We love this tree. |
Continuing on the walk... |
| |
|
 |
 |
| On the corner it opens up for a lovely view of the town
and distant mountains |
A deer enjoying a cool place to have a snack ahead of us on the
trail |

|
 |
|
Still on our walk, now we're out in the open with
360-degree mountain views. Amazing.
The men-folk around here are pretty easy on the eyes too! |
"Love trees" they are entwined |

A view of our house from the top of the hill. The
mountains you can
barely see to the right are Canadian Rockies. |
| |
|
 |
|
| I can't stop taking pictures of the sky when I'm here |

our house in the background |

This muskrat came out to check on us one evening as we walked by.
|
 |
| |
Sometimes our walks take us around the lake to visit brother
Dan's family.
Here they check out his sweet new ride. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| It gets dark very late here, 10pm-ish. I'm usually asleep by
then so I miss a lot of sunsets. |
The clouds looked like they were on fire this evening. |
| |
|
 |
|
My in-laws were driving back from Kalispell one evening and had
a close encounter with
a moose at 60 mph. The car is totaled but incredibly they were
unhurt. Thank you Lord! |
