Mr. Sunshine
Bob has decided that he does NOT like being in “his” room mostly by himself all day.
I can hardly blame him. The room I use as my office is not called the sunroom for nothing!
Mr. Sunshine.
Waiting
Lazy, restful weekend
From Bob…
…to me…
…to Bear.
It has been one lazy and restful weekend after a week that included several appointments in town as well as normal work and chores.
I read next to Bob, watched some streaming shows next to Bear, sat in front of the fire and did nothing.
It is warm and drippy, sometimes sunny, sometimes overcast.
Saturday, as the sun went down…
…it was both.
Gold morning woods
A cold, clear night gave way to golden sunshine…
in the morning woods.
**(9F this morning at it’s coldest. I think this is the coldest it has been all Winter)
Monday Evening
Monday workday.
Monday afternoon to Calm Veterinary in Kila for a routine checkup for Bear…he passed with flying colors!
A beautiful Monday with air as clear and clean and crisp as it could be. I drove home loving this valley and the mountains that rise from the East.
As the work day ended, alpenglow beckoned…
And then…
the moon.
Monday Evening.
Snow
Less than a month of Winter left -technically… Montana “Winter” can happen any time! – and we get the heaviest snowfall of the season.
Although, yet again, it looks prettier than it really is. It was above freezing all day yesterday and last evening when the snow started falling. The bottom inches are slush…tough shovelling!
But it gave Bear a great workout as he went to and fro and round the property as I cleared the walk and some room in front of the garage and motorhome. I’ll leave the rest to Mother Nature and/or a visitation from yon neighbor and the mighty backhoe!
My ‘Mr. Beam’ lights have so far survived the Winter and their little roofs have worked well also. Both lights are still on their first set of batteries (3 C’s each) and I’m very happy with how they work.
At night, a very low sensor light comes on. As motion is detected, they come full on and cast a bright light across the driveway. These particular lights are designed to be foot path lights. I have them mounted on the trees about 5 feet above the ground to keep them clear of snow from the edges of the driveway. I’ll get more next year – some for the driveway and maybe a couple for the woods paths as well.
Snow!
