Lisa Schmidt, III

from Awe, Nice! · host Maddy Butcher

This week, I'm sharing another moment recounted by Lisa Schmidt. Lisa runs A Land of Grass Ranch and writes and records Prairie Ponderings, a regular feature in several newspapers in Montana. Busy woman! I'm guessing many of you can relate to this account of how the mountains help us get out of our own way. It's a nice little message in a bottle for us, when it comes to finding calm amidst our chaos. Awe, Nice! welcomes interviewees. If you have a moment you experienced while working outside and would like to share it, contact us. Music is by my friend, Forrest Van Tuyl. You can find a donate button on our about page. Keep your eyes, ears, and mind open. Until next time.
