911 Flag

I attached a picture picture of me sewing a stitch to repair the 911 flag that flew at the Trade Center in NYC. I probably wouldn't have been able to do this in NYC, but since Montana doesn't have huge crowds, I was able to participate. My camera didn't work very well, so I actually got to make 3 stitches to get the picture.

The flag that was nearly destroyed on Sept. 11 2001 when the Trade Center came down is being taken across the nation by the New York Foundation so that people from every state can help restore it. Once it is restored, the flag will be used in 10th Anniversary of 911 ceremonies later this year, and will become part of the permanent collection of the National September 11 Memorial Museum being built at the site of the World Trade Center.

The ceremony in Montana was held in the State Capital Rotunda and was organized by the Montana Historical Society, it began with selected Montana heroes stitching a flag that was flown over our State Capitol into the 911 flag. Lt. Gov. John Bohlinger and Denny Deters of the New York Says Thank You Foundation spoke at the event. A formal presentation of the colors, a Native American Honor Song by the Togendowangan Society on the Freedom Drum, and a bagpipe tribute by Beth Foster was part of the ceremony. The portion of the flag repaired by Montana was the top white stripe located on the distal edge of the flag. The original white stripes are gray because of the smoke from the towers.

Back in Montana

Here is a picture of a Hollyhock I grew from seeds from the Dyckman Farmhouse. The last farmhouse in Manhattan. The plant should be a little bigger, but some deer have been eating on it. I put a box around it to protect it.

Here is the house where I live.

Here is a pictures I took June 26. The bee with the white spot is the queen bee.

This is a poppy on our farm. We have lots of them. My Great Grandfather planted them about a 100 years ago and they have spread alot. There are thousands of them. The bees really like the pollen.

I planted this Hollyhock from seeds from the Dyckman farmhouse in Manhattan on 204th Street and Broadway. It should be bigger, but the deer have been eating on it a little. I put a box around it to protect it a big. The Dyckman farmhouse is the last farmhouse in Manhattan.

http://dyckmanfarmhouse.org/ A couple of pictures from our cabin on Memorial Day. They weather was pretty cold and as you can see it snowed in the higher elevations. The name of the mountain is Castle Reef. It looks somewhat like a castle when is not covered up with clouds.


This is the Capital building in Helena, Montana. Across the street from my office.

Here is the house where I live.

On the way home from the cabin, we stopped by a friends house and found this friendly antelope.

Antelope on the farm

After working on my bees, I walked around the farm to look for antelope. I included some nice views from the farm and pictures of a doe and fawn antelope.
