I love having a blog where I can write about anything I want. This is my life and I am blessed.
These photos are my son, AJ Bourg’s. He sent them to my while visiting the Tetons. Grizzly 399 and her 4 cubs have become world famous. Giving birth to 4 cubs is amazing but having them all survive is a miracle! Her 4th cub likes to poke around and always seems to come in last. He knows how to slow down and enjoy everything around him.
If you’ve been on Instagram much you’ve had the chance to follow their sightings (and mischief!) using the hashtag #Grizzly399. It’s been a fun summer activity. Soon they will hunker down for a long winter nap.
I grew up in Wyoming and I admit I want to go back. I miss the slower pace. I would love to live up north. I don’t mind -15 as a normal temperature for a winter day.
Where we live now used to be rural but the big city is moving in on us. This used to be my dream place to live. Over the last 20 years we’ve watched it change from a kind and safe place to live to a place that is just another suburb with bigger issues. I miss the kindness. I miss knowing all my neighbors. I miss having a church that isn’t just a sermonette all about me.
As I grow older, I appreciate the things that kept my family in Wyoming for generations. Will we move back? I sure hope so but I kinda doubt it. The Rockies here are just as beautiful here but the weather isn’t as brutal.
These are just things I ponder on a cloudy Wednesday morning as I’m homesick for a simpler way of life.
Beautiful blessing,
Brenda
