:: beautiful drive through eastern montana :: big-eyed baby silently following tflashing trails of fireworks against the twi-lit sky :: getting chigger-bitten at the ankles for a much-worth-it bowl of hand-picked strawberries :: smokey patio fire pit, enjoyed from a rocking chair with a quilt-bundled babe on my lap :: lounging on a hay bale while eating a cherry slushy :: visiting with far-away family
