We'd fill our hands with water & sand & let it drip out onto the ground, making mounds. Fun stuff.<br />So glad you had such a wonderful day with nice weather! Fabulous photos all.<br /><br />My Dad was in the CCCs back in his 20's - so in the late 1930s-1940s. He did work in Southern California. I've been thinking about that lately as the CCC has been working along the hills at the side of one of the roads I drive to work for the last week or so! If I've left myself extra time to get to work, they aren't there yet and are already long gone when I'm on my way home. I'd love to talk to them about what they are doing there.<br /><br />Oh oh oh Sadie! What a little pill!! Glad she is safe & sound & confined to the indoors now.quiltzyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847188443140845514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-81778848115329068502017-09-20T22:05:26.225-07:002017-09-20T22:05:26.225-07:00oh, and buffalo "chips" were gathered by...oh, and buffalo "chips" were gathered by pioneers for firewood as they crossed the plains.

When my mom and I took our cross-country vacation, she suggested we veer from itinerary and stop at Theodore Roosevelt NP, since I have loved TR since I was a child. But our schedule wouldn't allow it--that would have pushed aside a visit with her nursing school roommate, which was a real treasure, as it turned out--so we drove on. Your posts have allowed me to make up for an opportunity missed. <br /><br />Darn that Sadie! So early in your trip! Even feeling sure that you weren't telling a story of her escape and loss, my heart was racing while I read it. So, so thankful for the happy ending to that story. And she should be equally thankful for the catio which will make the trip much more enjoyable than it might have been.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-85667446265023537312017-09-20T05:27:01.312-07:002017-09-20T05:27:01.312-07:00Being a Dakota girl (born and raised in SDak), I l...Being a Dakota girl (born and raised in SDak), I love those panoramic pictures. All that land and sky for as far as the eye can see. Makes me just a bit homesick! That bison picture is definitely a keeper. My daughter happened upon two bison in a fight and managed to get some pictures/video of it, from a safe distance. It's quite something. Glad you had nice weather to enjoy the park! piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-44874134668933851112017-09-19T22:10:03.252-07:002017-09-19T22:10:03.252-07:00Aweet Sadie! at least she understood the word NO! ...Aweet Sadie! at least she understood the word NO!
