Flavoring Fools

I can find amusement just about any where. The latest source to provide a laugh for me came from a school project that Ruby is working on. She came home with a binder with a historical account of Star Valley inside. The title of the history is 'A Bend in the River - The History of Star Valley and Lincoln County'.

As I was reading a section about the town of Auburn I came across a sentence that is worth sharing! Click on the image if you must to see it! It is too funny and worth a click!

From the Front Porch - Foggy River Bottom

I have published a couple of 'From the Front Porch' post before. We are blessed with some wonderful views out our windows!

Today was foggy all day long. It was hard to see across the street let alone across the valley. Then this evening, just before the sun was about to set, the fog burned back to the banks of the Salt River and left us to marvel at the view. We opened the blinds and enjoyed the awe of the mountains to the east as the sun slowly set in the west.



Swift Creek is at the far right of this photo. 'Star Mountain' just to the left of Swift Creek Canyon.

Lets Get Out of This House!

We have been cooped up in the house for quite some time now. All of us have been itching to get out of the house, and today we did just that. A simple ride through the valley was just the ticket to cure the cabin fever!


Fowl on the River

We stopped in the narrows and watched the Geese and ducks on the river.


No Bull

We stopped at the elk preserve and enjoyed watching the elk feed.


Frozen Stalagmite

We went all the way to Alpine enjoying the sites and each others company


Hidden Fence

The snow is deep in Star Valley. The fences are nearly covered! In some places, where the snow has drifted, they are covered. Today was very sunny and we reached a balmy 32 degrees! The warmest day we have had in a month!

Tomorrows forecast? 6-12" of snow!


Family Feast

We do not eat out much, but we felt today should be an exception. We had dinner at Gunnars Pizza in Alpine. The waitress noticed the camera and offered to take a picture. So here you go, a rare photo of me on my own blog!
