To MT and Back

 Hello!

We are back from a much needed, but much too short, vacation. We drove to Eureka, MT for a graduation, which was Friday afternoon. Then we spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with friends before driving all the way back. 

The friends we stayed with have chickens. This is the one M just had to show me. She's got some character, doesn't she?

This is what about half the chickens look like. The rest look like farm raised chickens, white with yellow beaks. The roosters were too skittish for photos.

 This is "The Res," or reservoir, technically. In the spring you can walk clear out to where the town that was flooded out when the res was built rests. Not much left, just some odds and ends and railroad tracks. The glaciers fill in the res in late spring, so we were not able to go that far. The water was pretty much up to the normal shoreline.

 Our friends recently got a new kitten, Alice. She is a little different, as in she runs in circles when she is scared or excited. She also climbed a large tree, and I was not sure she was going to make it down. Though after she did the first time, she went back for more climbing.

 Alice wasn't really sure what to think of the water. She is fearless in many cases, not when it comes to water, apparently.

Just enjoying the view.
