More Montana

Montana
Isn't it beautiful here?
The weather has been great.
It snows, then it rains, then it's sunny, then it's overcast again.
That is one of my favorite things about the cabin.
The weather is constantly changing.


Christian took Zanna for a nice long walk from the Latimer cabin to the Thompson cabin ( we have two cabins here, one on my mom's side and one on my dad's side and they are about a half a mile apart). He got some pretty cute pictures of Zanna.

Here she is walking down the road with the three dogs. She LOVES the dogs!

Zanna has been so funny this trip. She loves to be outside and whenever she had to come inside she threw a bit of a fit. She refused to take her coat off once inside. It was like her only link to the "outside" world. It gave her hope she might be able to go out again soon. I had to take it off of her for meals and that did not make her happy AT all.

Jumping in the puddles.

This is the Thompson cabin and the sign my grandpa built. He named this area Crane Meadows. After many years the entrance posts had to be rebuilt so the sign came down for a few years and was just put back up this past labor day. I love this sign. The FT stands for Forrest Thompson, my grand pappy.

Getting ready to go riding.


Hannah getting her chaps on. I got to go on a ride with my dad and sisters up in the hills behind the cabin. It was so fun to be able to go on a ride, so invigorating... that is not something I get to do very often anymore now that I have the chillins. Like I have probably gone three times since I have had Zanna. The weather was cold but really nice. And the ground was lightly covered with snow once we got up into the hills. It was beautiful.

My dad getting my stirrups to the right length for me. Such a sweet man!

Zanna doing tricks on the horse with Mikelle. She wanted to go on the ride with us but it was a little too long for her. So we led her around the cabin a few times and that sufficed.

Oh, Merm...these pictures almost bring me to tears. I miss the cabin so much! I'm glad you guys get to go up so often, but I have to tell you I'm green with envy! One of these days hopefully soon I'll live close enough to go more often. These are great pictures! You have such a beautiful family!!

Oh, I am so jealous you guys are up there! It's beautiful all year round...but autumn is my favorite. I love it when you can still see the trees! :) I can just imagine Zanna and Lily playing on the beach and staying up late to play cards together when they're a little bit older!

Those are the most beautiful pictures. It looks so pretty and peaceful-it makes me wish I had a cabin in Montana! Let me know if you are interested in the job here. The girl is planning on leaving at the end of November, so we're officially looking for a nice, cute couple to hire!
