HOLY COW!!

 

It's hard not to be braggy on this blog..but I just drove all the way across Montana!! And yes that is a "holy cow" moment for me. It was a beautiful drive...all the way. And now I am in North Dakota at the Fluffy Fields Vineyard & Winery.

Back to yesterday. It didn't quite turn out how I imagined it. My stop was supposed to be at a flower farm. When I finally found it (way up a gravel road) I couldn't believe it..No flowers, dry and pretty darn ugly. So I just turned around and found another place to camp. 

There was a nice spot by the Yellowstone River not far and Ruthie and I set up camp there. We were surrounded once again by fishermen. One man had the biggest two catfish I have ever seen. Kinda creepy looking fish. I was surrounded by fishermen yesterday too at a restaurant in Ennis, Montana. 

So today I drove to this lovely spot..another 4 hours. It is beautiful with a sunflower field across the street. 


There is a nice restaurant here and tonight they have music. Maybe I will have glass of the wine they make here..


In case you are wondering: 

What I am reading: The Sun Magazine, The Correspondent

What I am listening to: A creepy crime novel..

Music: my "happy" playlist plus Pink Martini

What I am doing when not driving: Walking with Ruthie, reading, knitting, and watching a                                                                Netflix download (at night) 

Tonight: I hopefully will be sitting out listening to live music

Thank you for reading this..and thanks for the comments (though I wish you would put your name👀)

Glad to see a post tonight! A little worry crept in but I knew, stuff happens. Tonight sounds like fun.
With you and Ruthie in spirit, Sarah W.

just following day by day. And loving every day. You’re not settling for a place that doesn’t add up, but find a spontaneous way! Good for you and Ruthie. Maybe you should take up fishing!
