Return from planet Rez.

Hello. I am back from Browning Montana. For those who dont know I work for an organization called SpayMontana. We travel the state holding free to low cost spay neuter clinics.

Going to Browning is like going to another planet. Most of the way you dont even have cell phone service. So you kind of lose contact with the rest world.

Browning is the heart of the Blackfoot Indian reservation in North Western part of Montana. Growing up I was always told the Blackfeet were a mean tribe who didnt like white people. And I have never had any desire to go there. But now it is my favorite place to have a clinic. There is something there that floods ones senses. There is so much sadness, anger, sickness mixed with flashes of the most pure simple happiness. Everyone is living in the moment reminding me of working with shelter animals maybe. And there is this wordless understanding of what is going on found in everyones eyes (dont know if that makes sense). I feel like I am dancing with the tribe when I am there.

Being there is such an emotional roller coaster that is hard to put it into words so I am probably going to chew on this in my blog for a few days.

Another chilly day

Well here I am again! Look two posts. In the same month.

I finally got to plant some flowers in my window boxes (well seeds and bulbs anyways) still cold here though. Its feeling like we are never going to have summer.

A hanging in limbo frustrating day too. Hopefully soon we can find Dave a job and have some sort of normal.
