Cross Posted on my Substack: Prairie River Witch Newsletter After my near miss last year, I’m living with a no regrets policy. I’m also going to “start over” and branch out a little more. I still intend to follow through with the basis of this page– wannabe backpacking, but right now where I’m going (chasingContinueContinue reading “A Spell for Starting Over (Sandhills Edition)”

A Wandering Witch with Coffee & Camera Notes from the Edge of the Map Hey y’all, ~Let me reintroduce myself~ I’m BJ Roshone – a barefoot wanderer raised in the wild green hills of the Ozarks, now chasing light and stories in the Nebraska Sandhills.

Recovery
Sunny warm days make it all better. Hey. It’s been a while. How have you been? I’ve been struggling for a bit. I haven’t updated this in a while. After my last post in September, work and life got busy and I pushed a lot of my projects to the back burner. Then on NovemberContinueContinue reading “Recovery”
Flashback Friday: Blue Spring
~Day Hikes and Baby Wipes~ I’m sorry for the hiatus but the new baby distracted me from a lot of things *cough— writing—cough* over the last two months. Now that I’m recovered from the c-section, lack of sleep, and visiting family I’m starting to get my writing bug back. I’ve been posting to my poetryContinueContinue reading “Flashback Friday: Blue Spring”
Day Hikes & Baby Wipes: Fort Niobrara NWR
I really enjoy hiking at the refuge in my back yard! He had a bug on his hat… Now that I’m feeling more like myself I took myself on a self prescribed hike with my 2 year old and 3 week old. It was wonderful! Little video and TikTok plug…
Wannabe Asleep
Is it still 2023? I have no recollection of being this tired with my first child but our newest little adventurer is taking it out of me. Also say hello to my new hiking buddy! Newest hiking buddy! It also doesn’t help that the oldest slightly bigger adventurer is 2 and doesn’t have an offContinueContinue reading “Wannabe Asleep”

Flashback Friday: Glacier National Park August 2022
Flashback Friday!
I’m getting my groove back and writing again. All the projects I’ve procrastinated on I’m finally getting done!
Here is my overview of hiking in Glacier NP.
Time Flies When You’re (not) Having Fun
Open’s an eye and looks around– is summer over yet? Almost. Time officially got away from me. Most of that is due to taking on a temporary promotion at work and having more duties as assigned. It’s starting to slow done but the ride isn’t over yet. Vacation in the Ozarks— Current River style. OtherContinueContinue reading “Time Flies When You’re (not) Having Fun”
Wannabe on the Trail: Germ Theory…
It’s not what you think. Well, it kind of is… To begin, germ theory according to Britannia.com is, “germ theory, in medicine, the theory that certain diseases are caused by the invasion of the body by microorganisms, organisms too small to be seen except through a microscope.” It’s pretty spot on if you ask me.ContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Germ Theory…”
Wannabe on the Trail: SAD, Sick, and on the Mend
I don’t really have a lot to say but I figured I better do an update! Coivd sucked– I’m glad I had the vaccine. I did better than my husband (unvaxxed) but it still sucked. I still feel exhausted from it. However, I’m doing better and starting to get active again. It’s slow going though–ContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: SAD, Sick, and on the Mend”
Wannabe on the Trail: Home Sick
I’m not homesick, I’m literally home sick. I’m getting a Covid test tomorrow but the last couple of days have been rough. Being home sick, normally means I’m comatose on the couch. Not this time! Now that I’m a mother— I don’t get that option. He’s also running a fever so he’s home with me.ContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Home Sick”
Wannabe on the Trail: Inspired by LOTRs
Well, the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings inspired a lot of my life choices. “Speak friend and enter.” (If you get that reference comment the answer 😉 Not all those who wander are lost— Bilbo Baggins. My grandmother had a copy of the Hobbit on her bookshelf. Although, we didn’t get along— too muchContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Inspired by LOTRs”
Flashback Friday: Grand Teton & Yellowstone 2014 (quickest trip ever)
*7 Years by Lukas Graham playing in the background* It’s been seven years. Seven years since I branched out and headed west of my state of Missouri. Seven years of living the dream. Almost seven years of being with the love of my life. Looking back at how social media and the explosion of vanContinueContinue reading “Flashback Friday: Grand Teton & Yellowstone 2014 (quickest trip ever)”
New Year, (semi) New Me
I haven’t posted in the last few days– holidays, weddings, and driving through a winter storm had my attention focused elsewhere. Me trying to be glamourous at Deer Park Manor in Indiana for a wedding. Driving in a winter storm… go slow and don’t rush! I’ve also been working on finishing up a couple ofContinueContinue reading “New Year, (semi) New Me”
