Visitors

Living in the Valley this year has meant we've had unusual visitors. Lately four friends have been stopping by on a regular basis. I think they are ruffed grouse, but I just call them chickens. From my days growing up in Wyoming, antelope are goats and any grouse is a chicken. I love having these little guys running around. The Hawthorne bushes and dense underbrush gives them good places to hide and the gravel driveway gives them something to eat.

Maggie had an unusual visitor at her schools on Wednesday morning (1/13/10). A moose wandered out of Teton Creek and over to the parking lot of her school. All the kids rushed to the door to get a better look.
