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.

"The Happiest Moment?........Now."


"For happiness, how little suffices for happiness, the least thing precisely, the gentlest thing, a lizards rustling, a breath, a wink, an eye glance - little maketh up the best happiness.  Be still."
Neiteche

The farm at that time was a quiet place with few diversions outside of the natural world. In letters my father writes extensively about the animals; pig-pig, the old chickens, the horses and the cow Olga "who is very nice and gets lots of pats from your son". This strong connection to nature would stay with my father his whole life.
