Of Weddings, grasshoppers, Sandhill cranes, weasels and magpies

I've been traveling this weekend. Going on I-90 to Billings, MT for my sister in law Sheri's wedding. The wedding was held in St. Olaf Church near Roberts, MT...15 miles on a rocky road into the rolling green hills with mountain ranges around us.

I'm always amazed at the creatures that live in this part of the country, and I like to catalogue in my head what I've seen..

let's see, I saw Sandhill cranes (I've deduced), a few green grasshoppers and of course ravens and magpies, ospreys, a number of hawks, vultures, swans in a creek by the dirt road on the way to the church, pronghorns, a weasel in Costco parking lot, very cute, a few swallows and other sweet birds, cows, horse, bison (ranched), sheep, llamas, goats and little bunnies of course.
It's been lots of family visiting this weekend, the last time I'll see brother in law Brian before he becomes a daddy, met my two new step nephews that Sheri's new mate Rudy brings with him into the marriage, and excitement is building for Pam (sis in law) over her impending adoption.
It's been a little difficult for me being without Marina, she's in Hawaii. But i've gotten a lot of time with Mike on the road. It's been a little weird for me because I've been feeling unsettled lately. So of course my Virago/Virgo self picks at him.
But what I think the answer for me is, has to be found inside me, not by trying to pick apart someone else....
And I already knew that, I just didn't pull it out of my brain's crevasses until today.
