500 Posts!
This is my 500th post! Yea Figknits! It only took me almost eight years to get there, but I made it. To honor the occasion, I think I'll make this one really pretty by telling you about our Montana vacation.
It's no secret to anyone that Montana is known as pie-in-the-sky Big Sky Country. I was skeptical, because how could anything live up to that much hype? Well, listen to me. This time it's true and maybe with extra big pie in that sky, because it's not just hype. The sky is vast and ongoing! You can see whole weather fronts coming at you from several directions, especially when you are lucky enough to be situated here.
This is just one of the views from our vacation home where we had 360-degree views of four different mountain ranges, all part of the Northern Rockies. Our generous friend allowed us to stay in his home near Bozeman, MT, for a week and it was a sweet, sweet stay. We watched rainstorms far over other mountain ranges, which happily didn't make it all the way over to us but once. That way, we could spend lots of time outside soaking up all the beauty.
There were lilacs...
...and columbine...
...and lots of aspens and blue skies...
...and hikes with more big blue sky views...
...good food and drink...
...and yarn!
Did you have any doubt there would be yarn?
I found these lovelies at Stix Yarn Shop in Bozeman, MT.
This is Shetland-Icelandic blend from Harvest Winds Farm in Livingston and Montana wool yarn from Thirteen Mile Lamb and Wool in Belgrade. Beautiful!
The last part of the trip was to Ravenwood, and that deserves a post of its own.
Be back soon with goat pictures!
