(Doing my Shelia thing! LOL)This post is pretty random so hang on...
It's just some things we have been up to
so far this summer.
A visit to Cabela's...my husbands favorite place....seeing the displays there~
See that happy smile...what man wouldn't like to come here?
This guy reminds me of the moose I walked right into one morning on my walk at Fish Lake!
I had just rounded the bend in a trail and walked right into him (this close too) as he was having his breakfast. Thank goodness my golden retriever had good sense, he came right to my side and ever so quietly pushed against my hip as if to say..."Keep walking!" or I might have been in trouble!

My husbands big dream...
Lots of horse rides going on here...we saddle up and take of in any direction~
I saw this darling picture up at a nearby lodge...just had to share it with you, I think it is SO cute!
This little baby cottontail bunny came to my house for a visit...isn't he cute?!
He was as calm as can be...it was so fun to hold him!
Our little cat found him down by the hay stack, I think she thought he was a baby kitty, so she hauled him up to the house. Ron found him just sitting by our door, so he picked him up and brought him in to show me. He wasn't hurt or anything, we'd put him down and he'd hop around. We enjoyed him for a bit then Ron took him back down to the hay stack where they all live, and let him go. I had never seen one this close up or held one...it was so fun!
A most beautiful sunset....
This had been a crazy moment, just before this peaceful sunset, we had the wildest rain storm filled with lightening...very unusual here!
We have had lots of gray, cloudy days with rain...this whole summer has felt very strange!It's not like that here...mostly dry with lots of sun...but it has been a blessing to have the rain.
Ron just out with the horses, letting them graze on the green feed and enjoying the sunset~
Our little grandson Kelton...playing T-Ball...mostly comparing teeth with the little girl there on 3rd base!
And Brody swinging at the ball...this age is so funny to watch...most of the time they have no idea what is going on...but they are so cute!
And last...more tourists...stopping to take pictures of us...
I hope they see me taking pictures of them! LOL
I had a lady leave a comment the other day...
she said she had passed by my home but didn't dare intrude
by stopping to say hi. I want all my blog friends to know that if you come this
way...and pass my home...I want to you stop and say hi...you are
always WELCOME here! We'll sit out on the deck and enjoy a diet Pepsi
and have a good old chat!
I hope you are all having a great Summer so far...
I think maybe this week we will be getting that new
grand child...keeping my fingers crossed!

Wow, if I am ever out that way in Cowgirl Heaven, I will stop by and sit on your porch with you and have that cold Pepsi...
Hope you get your grandchild this week. WOOT what a blessed grandmama!
And I had to laugh at the teeth comparing. At least it wasn't two little boys comparing their protective "cups" like I saw on a funny video... LOL!!!!!!
Have a great Monday, love the pics.
Hugs sent to you. Enjoy those gorgeous God-given sunsets.
Love that they were comparing teeth on the baseball field!
I have never been to Cabelas!
Such a cute bunny! Did your husband say, "Look what the cat drug in!"
I wonder how many people have a picture of your beautiful home!
Oh I would definitely be knocking on your door if I was driving by, especially if I have been reading your blog :) what a great opportunity to meet a fellow blogger, even if only for an hour! Shame the lady didn't stop.
Love all your photos, awww and that cute baby bunny, I would have hung on to him for probably too long ;)
Have a lovely Monday.

WOW.... My Husband would go bonkers for your place. He is a cowboy at heart. He loves horses & anything country.
Have a Wonderful Week!
Love,
Marilyn
If I ever get out that way I am stopping by........LOVE LOVE LOVE your house and all your land and all those precious animals!
Love all of your pictures. That bunny is too cute and how fun! Thanks for sharing.
Loved the randomness of your post. I wish I could get up that way and have that Diet Pepsi with you. Your place is alike a dream. It's absolutely breath taking. Your life looks like it's in a movie--horses, bunnies, Cabelas, babies--it's ideal. You are blessed!
Such wonderful pictures. I think your home is so beautiful, no wonder people stop to take pictures. If I lived closer I'd come over for a Diet Pepsi for sure. Love the comparing teeth picture. Love the wildlife.....I would have passed out running into the moose. We had a skunk in our front yard last night.....now that isn't good.
Enjoy your summer. ((((HUGS))))
How funny...I am a diet Pepsi girl too...addicting...I can't get going in the morning without my caffeine fix...but I do limit myself to one a day! Love the pic of kids comparing teeth...my second oldest who is now 25, use to sit in the outfield during t-ball with his mitt on his head because he was so bored.
Oh what summertime fun..I must say I adore the first image of you! Beautiful!
Hugs for a happy new week.
WOW! Julie you live in the most beautiful home in the most scenic part of the country. I just love it! Gorgeous! The spectacular sunset, the darling bunny and the moose are all wonderful stories. I'm glad your dog helped you. Scary!
Have a blessed week.
~Melissa :)
Sweet photos Julie!I adore that little bunny.So cute.
I cant wait to see you grandbaby.Thats baby number what???I loose track with you ha.God Bless!
Happy New week!
Cute cute photos Julie:) Love the first one! Crossing fingers for a new bundle of joy coming your way soon!!
The scenery surrounding your home is just unreal. I would just stand around and say WOW all day!!!
It's definitely been busy here, weeks go by before I know it!!!
Hi Julie~ I so want to visit Cabella's I hear about it all the time. ONE DAY! love the bunny, love that sunset HOLY GORG. love the comparing teeth pic. to funny! AND I WILL SO STOP to see you and give you a hug, if I am ever pass by. Hugs, Jenn
Your husband and my Sweetheart have the same "big dream"!!!
Loved all your fun summer pictures! Such fun good times.
Looks like your Summer has been divine. I agree, the weather has been somewhat crazy!!
Love the cute little bunny. What a sweet little surprise.
Who knew little kids were so interested in their teeth!! Too cute!!...
Maybe someday, you'll pick up a magazine and there will be your house on the cover!! ;-)
Enjoy!!...
Sorry for the caution...cause I sure am on my way one of these days. I'd love to attend your temple too and we'll go out for dinner...our treat!
Great photos. No Cabela's nearby, but we have a Bass Pro one hours drive away and visit fairly ofen. The guys love it (so do I actually, I just wish they had a bigger decor section.)
The grandkids are very cute. The photos remind me of my boys (now 11 and 13) at that age. Precious.
I think it is so funny, but not surprising considering your view, that folks keep stopping by. I know I would!
Good Morning !
Great pictures! Looks like you are having a great summer and making lots of memories. You have to admit... your white house against the red hills is very striking :)
I'm wondering if Ron thought that you going to Gardner Village was a good leverage point to let him go to Cabelas :)
Have a great day !!
I would love to stop by and have a nice cold drink and a chat. I'm amazed you could hold that little bunny it must be very young. What a neat treat. This whole post was a fun neighbor lady chat. Can't wait to hear about the newest baby!! The one that had the fanciest baby shower I ever saw!
Why don't we have puppy showers?
The baby bunny, your beautiful home, the playing little ones, that amazing sky, a gorgeous impression of Summer time in your sweet little corner of the world, Julie. I love it there! These mountains keep taking my breath away...
Sending lots of Dutch JOY your way for a lovely Monday! xxx
that is the sweetest bunny ever Julie, I would have had a hard time letting him back to the wild.
I try my darndest to never ever go into Cabela's the MAN store!!!!!
Good morning, Julie! Love your summer so far! Cabela's IS fun, isn't it?! And that baby bunny is just so adorable!
Just a warning...next time I go home the southern way (always seem to head up north to California these days!) I AM stopping by for the Diet Pepsi & a chat! That would be so fun!
Just got home a couple of days ago--it WAS very strange weather the three weeks we were there...enjoyed a couple of those thunder storms!
Hope you're having a marvelous day!
Julie
I LOVE YOUR FAVORITE BOOTS!!!! They look great after years of wear=0) It looks like you have been busy and I'm crossing my fingers that that baby comes soon=0)
xoxo,
Carol
amazing summer days you are having. i love unexpected rain storms. we had a touch of one a few days ago. lasted long enough to get the cars looking like mud. it is very sweet of you to invite visitors to your home :)
blessings,
aimee
I would love to stop by and sit and chat and have a cold drink.
Hope that your baby comes soon.
My hubby loves Cabelas also.
Sounds like a great weekend for you.
Thanks for sharing.
Julie, I had wondered before if that was your home in the picture. What an amazing setting! I bet you wake up everyday feeling incredibly lucky to be there. I do hope you continue to get some rain...and a grandbaby, of course. :)
Oh if I was ever in your area I would DEFINITELY stop by and say hi!!! Your place is so GORGEOUS!!! Sounds like a lot of fun going on there. T-ball is so CUTE to watch!! That little bunny is just too precious. I'm glad your cat didn't kill it and that your hubby knew just where to let it go again.
We all love visiting Cabela's. The one we visit is in the Dallas, Texas area. Always neat things to see there.♥
Oh,that bunny is just so adorable..I wouldn't have wanted to let him go!I'm sure that everyone gets a very warm welcome at the Harwards!
Bellaboo :0)
Where do I start Julie? this was a fun post, for sure. First off, you are gorgeous in your top photo. That's a great shot. Your home is the talk of the town I am sure. I would love to sit on your porch. It would be like a dream. The bunny - Oh My! Your grandkids are so sweet and now I know what it feels like. It's great. Love the pic with the two comparing teeth. Kids are so candid. Hope you get more sun soon so you can get out on those horses and take more pictures. Give a hug to Cougar and all the kitties. Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
You are so lovely!
Love the bunny story! Cabellas is a lot of fun!
Love it all...I loved your random post. Love the picture of the man taking a picture!LOL
Hugs
Did you get some fudge while you were at Cabella's?
Your summer looks like it's been a good one.
I thought about you when we were sorta down in your neck of the woods......we went for a visit down to Cove Fort, and were going to go down to Mountain medows, but decided we didn't want to drive that far, we almost went over your way to see the view.
Enjoy your day.
Mercy
I love your pictures. Cute of your grandson and the little girl. Love the sky pictures... that's so my thing... sunsets and sunrises.
Thanks for the taking the time to stop by.
Have a great week!

Hi Julie,
I loved all of your photos! My husband loves Cabela's too...we visited one when we were in Idaho last year. He also likes Bass Pro Shops...there's one about an hour away from us. It looks like you are enjoying your summer! :)
Oh...I loved the joke you left in my comments! Too cute!! :)
Oh my that bunny is just adorable! I think I would have wanted to keep her! So soft and cuddly! I had a lot of catching up to do on your posts! You do so well getting them out regularly. The pictures are so nice, I love the one of your two horses. They look so well cared for and happy. The quilts were just FANTASTIC! It makes me want to get down in my sewing room and get back at it but summer is so short here I don't want to be inside for long. All of the quilts were fabulous, the one with the three cowgirls is just a hoot! Love all the goodies you found at the antique shops!!! What wonderful shops, wish we had some like that around here. Planning on hitting a few next week nearer the coast so hope to find some treasures. Take care and enjoy your beautiful home and setting!!
Fun and busy summer!!
My goodness, you've been busy. I've dropped by before but forgot my way, sugar. I only have 2 kids, 4 grandkids and one great granddaughter now. Squeeeeeeeal!!! She's just a doll at only 2 months old. Happy to have found you again.
xoxo,
Connie
I love posts like this...just a nice slice of every day life. Well, my every day life doesn't include moose, but I do have a rabbit hopping through the house! LOL! I love your sweet face with that camera the best! ;)
I might plan a trip to visit just to see that sunset. Amazing. And that little bunny is so cute!
Julie I love the first picture of you = photographer extraordinaire!!
Your home, your horses and surroundings look amazing. I hope someday I pass by your house - I would definately stop in and say "hello"!
What an adorable bunny! It's so cool that you could hold him!
I loved the picture of the baby bunny!!! That was the sweetest thing!
Looks like you've been having lots of busy fun.
Heck, if I ever got that close to your house I'd be knocking on the door!
What an adorable little bunny. So cute. Hope that grandbaby comes soon. The poor mama, it's been so hot. She must be miserable. Beautiful sunset, we sure get some beauties here in Utah. Mimi
That little bunny is so sweet, along with your adorable little grandson. Lots of beautiful images there Julie.
Blessings,
Marcia
Hi Julie!
Oh your baby bunny is so adorable!
Years and years ago, my oldest 'rescued' a baby bunny from the fate its other sibs had... and kept it in an old guinea pig cage for a few weeks, letting it out with her supervision... After the cat no longer came around... she let it go. She named him Ralph and all bunny rabbits that live in and around our yard have been referred to as "The Descendants of Ralph"
true!
Your photos are an awesome collection of SUMMER JOY!
Wishing you more JOY, Julie!
~Maria
Wonderful post Julie!
The sunset pics are amazing, you are a great photographer~ And another grandchild coming very soon, that is so exciting! I have been working on that diaper cake with the help of your tutorial. At first, mine looked pretty lame. But I think I got it now, your's turned out so wonderful!
HAGD,
Cindy
Thanks so much for sharing your summer pics with us. Those sunset pics are fabulous. I love a beautiful sunset and those are extraordinary. That is so funny you taking a pic of the tourist taking a pic.
Your summer sounds like is have been heavenly. We have a lot of rabbits and bunnies in our yard. They are so much fun to watch. Luckily so far they are eating the clover in my lawn instead of veggies in my raised beds!
Hugs,
Penny
p.s. I am following you :-)
Such beautiful photos.
Wow! I can't believe the bunny let you hold him. We have TONS of bunnys around our place. Parents and babies alike, but none of the babies let us near them. We have a bunny of our own (Shadow) he's a mini Holland lop and he is a sweetie, just like a puppy.
I have to laugh at the Diet Pepsi remark in your post. You'll have to read the latest post on my blog to see why I'm laughing.
Have a great day.
Hi Julie,
Cabella's is on our list of summer fun too. Jim loves that place also. It is rather unique. We found one in Ca that is similar but for fishing only. Personally I like Taipan better! Jen and I are going there on Thursday!
Your home seems like a large personal paradise~you must love it.
thank you for all your wonderful comments on my blog. I will get better about getting around to all my sweet blogging friends soon.
I hope your little pink princess comes this week!
Hugs, Bonnie
I've never been to Cabellas -- now I know what I've been missing! That little bunny is adorable and the sunset photos are incredible. I just want to camp out at your place!
Julie, YOu have it all. Self portrait, big game at Cabela's (My husbands favorite shopping location),horseback riding, baby animals, God's handpainted sky, and darling children with missing teeth playing T ball.
Each one would be the most adorable post in itself. You know I live my western life through you.
If I am every in your area, don't worry~ I'll stop by. Could you just imagine how fun that would be? And the invite goes right back at you! Don't you want to come visit the Amish... or me?
Love my visits to you!
xo Yvonne
I would absolutely love to stop for a diet Pepsi. It would be quite a drive for me to just "happen by your house."
You really in a slice of heaven, don't you? What a wonderful place to be and I bet your grandchildren just LOVE coming to visit! Horse rides and wild little critters to boot! That bunny is too precious!
I will definitely keep my eye out for your house ... it would certainly be a random thing to just "happen" upon it, but if I do, I will plan on knocking at your door to say HI! :)
Oh Julie what a lovely collection of moments and memories...love them...T-Ball is the B*E*S*T...my son played when he was "wee"...looking for 4 leaf clovers while in right field...looking for the ball with ALL the back catcher gear on{just to put it on the "T"}and of couse looking for anyone to wave at in the crowd while wait to run from 1st to 2nd...
oh my, that is a fine memory...thank you my dear friend...wish I was close enough to stop, take a "snappy", and then come and join you on the back deck...smile on Rosie
the photos were great esp the deer and binnies. the scenery was fantastic
what a fun post, the last photo had my cracking up...my parents get people taking photos of their house too, and we laugh..and wonder can they see us starring at them? lol!! and yippe for a new grandchild, that is very exciting news!! happy wednesday, xo
Cabela is a FUN was to spend an afternoon with grandkids they love to see the different animal too -- O how I wish to go off riding horses for the day -- and we are having the same kind of weather too just this morning lighting brought us both out of bed in a hurry -- nice wake up call - NOT - lol -- Keep having a safe summer dear friend and just one of these day I just might drop by we love gate-a-ways out of the blue..
Dear Julie, there`s so much love and happiness happening around your place and family, I love coming to visit you and see how Harwards are doing. It feels so welcoming to visit you... wish I could ride some of your horses, as I used to do at home when I was young. Also, my darling, you look so handsome in all the pictures!!!
big hugs,
maria cecilia
All the pictures are great. But my favorite is the first one of a lovely lady.
Summer is getting long down this way. It is over 100 again today so I am looking forward to fall!
Have a great day.
Pam
Those little ones playing t-ball, soccer, softball, whatever are just the best! So fun to watch ~
Great photos and I'm glad you're having rain and overcast days 'cause I'd love more of that here. The heat has just taken the fun out of everyone around here.
Love the polka dots on your blog!
xoxo
Pat
it looks like a great summer to me....love the baby cottontail....
I would love to sip some Diet Pepsi on your gorgeous porch! Would be quite a trip though. My Dr. Hubby loves Cabelas too. I think his fave section is the guns.
