  A Cool Breeze Blew off the Irish Sea and….. Carrie Keiser A cool breeze blew off the Irish Sea and Bridget closed her eyes, she was transported back in time to a day three years ago when she stood in this very spot on Ballinesker Beach. Bridget stood, eyes closed, breathing in the salty air and reliving the moment. In her mind, she could hear the weaves crashing and the children playing nearby, feel the warm sun counteracting the early fall wind. A smile slowly spread across her face and she sank down into the warm sand.  Bridget was back in that one perfect moment with her family. The moment when all the world was right and it seemed that nothing would ever change. She had come here today to center herself, draw those memories to the forefront of her mind and ponder on how quickly things can change.   It started out as an ordinary day at the beach the last before the return to school and work and before the cool of fall/winter set in, one last vacation. The trip t...

There should have been a time and a place, but this wasn’t it. 10 December 2024 by Cary Holmquist  Looking outside just now, I saw a small group of rock doves perched high in a leafless blackleaf cottonwood tree across from our kitchen window.  They have been up there for some hours, waiting out the snow flurries that have been coming and going most of the day.   Somehow, the marauding hawks and owls have not found these hapless creatures—which were almost sitting ducks, as it were, for winged predators.  If a hawk showed up, the doves would scatter to roosts that might be more safe, like the nearby spruce trees that people seem to like to plant in their yards.  If they were sheltering under the thick bristles of spruce branches, the doves would be less visible and accessible.  So, the sight of these bedraggled birds there in the vulnerable cottonwood branches makes me consider that at least the doves are not perched over someone’s vehic...

 What Lurks Behind the Cloud Flynn Family Story Slingers 11 February 2024 by Cary Holmquist Where I grew up was under the Big Sky Country, the East Side of the Continental Divide, where the Rocky Mountain Front to the west was more than 30 miles distant.  The Land of the Shining Mountains, as several native tribes called it, named for the bright Sun’s light reflecting off the snow or bare rock, depending on the season.  Those mountain peaks and jagged outlines blaze out until the shadows of evening crept over them like a dark blanket. To the south were the tall ancient volcanic lakes called Square Butte and Crown Butte, and the lower buttes called Floweree and Shaw Buttes.  And behind them the dark peaks of the volcanic Adell Mountains and eastward the Little Belt Mountains and farther east the huddled peaks of the Highwood Mountains. All around and to the north were no peaks.  A few low horizontal ridges we called bench lands, not at all flat—just try...
