Weekend Essentials, Victor, Montana


Juicy worms - what more do you need for a hot time in the big town tonight?

But perhaps your plans are not so much local street dance, but more at wilderness camping and fishing. 

Enter the small luxury of “Juicy Worms“. 

I love how Montana’s convenience stores cover all the bases - a welcome of homey flowers and anticipation of what varied customers might need. 
At Casey's store - just outside of Victor, Montana, on the constantly scenic Eastside Highway - you'll find fresh cinnamon rolls and locally created tamales, and everything in between - including juicy worms.
Entrepreneurship is alive and well in the Big Sky state.

Nursery Neon, Missoula, Montana


The garden is Open!

Caras Nursery is one of Missoula's wonderful garden centers, and so much more than just a plant source. Throughout the year, they play host to varied community events, as well as garden-related classes. Whatever the season, a meander through their landscape is a delightful escape, and just a few minutes from the busy-ness of Reserve Street traffic.

Alley Corner Vine, Missoula, Montana


Looking at this photo set this Sunday School ditty on 'repeat' in my head : “Brighten the corner where you are….!”

Thank you, Ira Ogdon, for a catchy reminder that a simple kindness or passing smile may be so much more to someone on the receiving end.

Poppy Plush (Closer), Hamilton, Montana

This could be: A plushy velvet pouf ensconced in a cozy, glowing reading cocoon - perfect for putting feet up, with coffee and an absorbing book at hand. All faerie-sized, of course.

Bridging Twilight, Missoula, Montana

“Twilight - a time of pause when nature changes her guard.
All living things would fade and die from too much light or too much dark, if twilight were not.”

Alley Window, Missoula, Montana

Gauzy cheesecloth contrasts
against the practical metal and weathered wood.
The perspective you choose
can change your view.
