Castle on the hill

 

While playing around on some rocks at the top of a hill in town:

"It's like a castle on top of a mountain." 

"This is better than any park (playground)!"

We came across a wide variety of wildflowers and blooming bushes, including a few Bitterroot, the state flower, which I'd never seen before.  It was growing on the lichen covered rocks amongst smashed beer bottles and knapweed.  A truly hardy Montanan!

Fewer outings and more knitting and sewing VERY soon.

(When he first opened his own cabinet shop, C rented the space under the green roof at the back of that building in the picture third row down from the top on the left.  It had been most recently the back room in a bar where bands had played.  It had low ceilings, no windows, and was painted a horrendous dark fushia color with black trim but, as it was temporary, we never bothered to make any improvements.  Eew.  It makes me cringe just thinking about it.  Since then, it's been the Head Start building, an antique shop, and offices now, I think.  Thank goodness his shop is at home now!)

Seeing these pictures reminds me of two things: what fun I had at times as a child on 'adventures' and 2. that if I ever had had children, I would not have let them out to play until they were 25 yars old.

Hi, I saw your link in my sitemeter and had to pay a visit. What a lovely site. I especially enjoyed these "castle on the hill" pictures--and I wondered if your children have read the picture book called Roxaboxen. It seems right up their alley!
