The Tetons were grand!

 

The Tetons and Yellowstone were amazing--so much to see and not nearly enough time. We're definitely going to have to go back. Somehow I thought they were much farther away than they really are. Five days was a good amount of time, though I think a week or ten days would definitely be better.

No bear. :(

Though we did see moose, bison, antelope, coyote, beaver!, and river otter! The beaver and river otter were the best, for sure. Pictures coming soon...

We are starting our homeschool year tomorrow, so I've got to get my rear in gear and go for my run, get laundry done, menus planned, groceries bought, and our week organized. Not to mention getting some study time in for Greek tonight. Today's going to be full--but it will make the rest of the week run more smoothly.

But I wanted to pop in and say hello. And show you where I'd live if I could:

 

Even with an outhouse, I think it'd be kind of wonderful. Rag rugs on the floor, stew bubbling over the fire, bread baking. And just take a look at the barn--I've always wanted a barn. 

 

So much scope for the imagination in places like this. If I could grow my hair long first, I'd totally travel back in time. Would you? When would you go? Where?

Oh I LOVE the look of that! Looks like someplace I would LOVE to live. I would go back to before TV, when families lived and worked together. When it was harder and simpler all at the same time.
How far of a drive did you have? Like how many hours is it? I would have to map it out from here - seems like it would take US like 5 days just to get there!

I just love the old barn in your third photo. Beautiful with the mountains behind it. Sounds like you had a great trip. :-)

Beautiful pictures. I've always thought that the 1950'd would be fun. I think that that I a thing for poodle skirts. But...Little House on the Prairie does have an appeal too.
