Bastion Mountain Ranch


Tales and Reflections by Caroline Miege

My family lived on a Ranch full time from 1993 until 2015. We were a 5th generation family farm.

I am writing this blog to share my experiences living there. It is best to read the blog chronologically by going through the archives, starting with the introduction in January of 2010. The blog starts with the arrival of my great-grandparents to the farm in 1946 and will follow the families to the present.

Beauty






















I appreciate the contrast between these two photos. In one Caroline Fleurdelys stands before her beauty salon in Montreal.The other picture depicts Caroline moving between her house and shed. She looks quite burdened with the weight of her winter clothing.In any of her photos she is always impeccably groomed. For her whole life she had lived within cities, born in Switzerland and then moving to Montreal as a young mother.
June would have been a beautiful month to view their new farm. However a few months later they would be plunged into winter.
