Evidently, sage loves it inside and out of the log cabins.

Cactus loves the rooftops!  I think if there were cactus growing in my gutters I would never clean them out!

  1. If the roofer slipped and fell.. he might find himself with a prickly pear.

  4. we went on vacation once and made a detour to see a tree growing on top of a courthouse. i couldn't believe it. it was a pretty good sized tree too. the roots had even grown into the roof. your pictures are wonderful. i especially like that second one. hope all is well.

    ps. thanks for talking with me on the phone. i truly enjoyed every minute. have a great day.

  5. The rustic feeling is awesome, I particularly like how the sage is framed by the window.

  7. Nice! I've had a number of things grow in my gutters, but never a cactus. :)

  8. Farlin, Montana looks like quite an adventurous vacation spot ... to live somewhere like that would be a deam come true! Love these photos ... the ruggedness, the atmosphere, the primitive wood and wilderness. Just incredible!

  9. they aren't picky--but they are prickley :) Once when camping on the desert I was teaching my youngest grandaughter about cactus and how she shouldn't touch the spines. "Why?" she asked. Carefully I explained that the cactus defends itself with the spine and each little spine has a barb and something that causes the wound to sting. She assured me she would watch out for the cactus. As soon as I turned my back she tried to pick a cactus up and ended up with several spines in her fingers. She was not a happy camper--but she learned for herself to avoid the cactus.

    Your pictures remind me of many places here in our own mountains.

  11. I suppose that's why they thrive so well in the desert. They just don't care! Give them some air and sunshine, and they smile!

  12. Neat photos!! I bet this is just what it looked like for the frontier people ... with less falling apart houses!
