I woke in the night 2 nights ago and heard rain - a good sound considering the fires and dryness of this area. And it was a nice gentle rain so good moisture.
Yesterday afternoon, I was driving in to town (Kalispell) - blue skies, puffy white clouds and belatedly I noticed - SNOW on the mountain tops! It is high - probably 3500-4000 feet higher than my home and a bit higher than that from the valley floor, but beautiful. Mountain tops are made to have snow on them…
On the way to town, I stopped in Somers, MT - a little town that lives on the northwest border of Flathead Lake. There is a bit of an historic railroad trail that Karl and I walk. It’s on the way to the grocery I prefer. There is a restaurant along the trail and they have a garden to grow their own veg and herbs. The sunflowers below are from that garden - the lake and mountain view from along that trail.
