The skies have continued to be mostly gray. The air is damper than usual making temperatures in the 40’s (F) feel bone chilling cold. There have been snow squalls, periods of pouring rain and sleet, mornings when there is a dusting of snow but except for the bizarre early October blizzard, this late fall has been mostly dry.
The larch have lost maybe half their needles, leaving a barren bit of gold in the foothills underneath the gray skies of November.
On the way to the bridge…
MT Hwy 82 bridge over the South Fork of the Flathead River not too far before it empties into Flathead Lake.
Another favorite spot…I love the barn and the silos, the lake, mountains and clouds in the background, the fence and grass in the foreground. It is a favorite view – made favorite first by a day last winter when the entire scene was frosty.
Today, Sunday, September 6, 2009 in the year of our Lord, it was beautiful as always.
This day has seen clouds, sunshine, cool, nearly hot and at the moment it is beautifully blustery and cool. I am in my sunroom – office with all of the windows and doors in this little house wide open. It is 63 outside and close to that inside. I am comfortable. Karl and Bob are napping near. The wind is whistling its low, dull, comforting whoosh through the pines.
A favorite spot for a Sunday.

My favorite way to start a Sunday morning.
Yes, the painting is done, the front porch has been water sealed.
My idea of “peace on earth”.
And then the morning walk with magic clouds and the bluest of blue skies.
And my good dog for company.
The mountains, the sky, the grass, the dog…on a Sunday morning walk.
Completing the circle.
