The early morning temperature was 48F. A cool breeze ruffled the water of Flathead Lake as Karl and I enjoyed a walk on the rocky outcroppings in Wayfarer’s Park near Bigfork.

The cloudless sky does not provide a dramatic background for a photo so you will have to use your imagination to picture a gorgeous, cool morning…

No one else on our path so we dawdled and enjoyed this continued respite from Summer.

And then…and THEN!!! – in honor of almost birthday…a blueberry-lemon “mimosa” – on the Front Porch. A big shout out and hurrah for Yellow Tail winery in Australia (HEY, Wendy!) – the YT sparkling wine is wonderful!

***Blueberry-lemon mimosa… I combined fresh blueberries, fresh lemon juice and a bit of lemon pulp with water (in my Vita-Mix super blender) to make a blueberry-lemon juice which I spiked with the Yellow Tail sparkling white wine. The “bits” you see in the glass are bits of blueberries.
