Yellowstone-Montana Loop 2013: Wednesday on the Ranch

Today we continued to work around Matt's place. We managed to install the new stringers, with Matt doing the bulk of the heavy lifting! I alternately served as his "go-fer" and pulled weeds in front of the house which proliferate this time of the year. Paula kept busy with painting, knitting a sweatshirt for the baby, and cooking wonderful meals. The weather today was amazing: warming up to the mid-seventies, mild breeze in the afternoon, brilliantly blue skies with a few cumulous clouds to ad a touch of contrast. Looking out at the valley scene as we lay on the chaise lounges enjoying a beer after our day's work, I was calculating the ways to make this permanently possible. Vacations are wonderful!
