Some new fruiting in the compost this morning #compost

Day 23 of the modified J/S compost. It has cooled into the low 100's, there has been several flushes of surface mushrooms. Seems to be at a low point in mushroom growth at this time, however. It has settled about 8-10 inches overall. #compost #permaculture

Spent some time yesterday down at the river hunting some agates, petrified wood, jasper, jade, and such. #outdoors #montana #yellowstoneriver #agate

Night sky over Bannack. Founded by gold prospectors on Grasshopper Creek in the territory of Montana in 1862, Bannack briefly became the territorial capital of Montana in 1864 until Virginia City took its place. Being very remote, only served by the Montana Trail (running north-south from Utah to SW Montana), it still grew to over 10000 residents. Sheriff Plummer was accused of leading a secret gang of road agents that was rumored to have murdered at least 100 in the area. Plummer was hanged, along with two of his deputies in January of 1864 without trial. A number of Plummer's associates were lynched and others banished on pain of death if they ever returned. Twenty-two individuals were accused, informally tried, and hanged by the Vigilance Committee (the Montana Vigilantes) of Bannack and Virginia City. Nathaniel Pitt Langford, the first superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, was a member of that vigilance committee. The last residents of Bannack moved in the 1970s. More than 132,000 ounces of gold were mined in Bannack in the 1860's, all of it placer gold.

Good morning from Montana #saturday #nostr #montana #bears

The northern lights put on a show last night in MT. From what I have heard, they were seen as far south as FL in the US. Pretty awesome show. Just cell phone pics, so nothing too stunning as far as quality. #aurora #northernlights #montana #grownostr

One of the best things about living in the north is the night skies when the northern lights are active. This was taken a few miles from my house near an abandoned homestead. I was driving home and just so happened to have my camera and tripod in the truck with me as I drove by. I hopped out and snapped several long exposure shots of the scene before me. I have other pictures of this little shack that I will post on later days, some at night using some light filling to more accentuate the homestead, but with the skies lit up like they were, that would be just a detraction from the main event. Fun fact: There is a huge raven nest in the inside rafters of this little cabin that a pair of ravens use to rear their young every year. It is perhaps 4 foot in diameter and just awesome. Not so fun fact: Time and Montana's elements have not been kind to this little cabin. In the time since I have taken this picture (4 years), this cabin has twisted on itself and is very near to collapse. I will be saddened the day that I drive by after some high winds or perhaps a particularlly heavy snowfall and see that it has given up. #montana #northernlights #aurora #grownostr #nightskies #stars

Finishing up my weekend build. Lost our chickens this winter to a crafty fox, so build a more secure house and secure run for them. Almost done, but will have to wait until next week to finish. Its snowing here and they expect 8-12 inches the next couple days. #homesteading #grownostr #chickens #montana
