The weather has been gray and dreary and a very un-January-like above freezing kind of mish-mash. Because of the snow depth, there is still snow-slush to snowshoe on. Auggie is able to walk on top of the mess. Bear is dealing with a mix of breaking through slush and the firmness of my snowshoe paths.<\/p>\n

Blech.<\/p>\n

It is what it is and the forecast is for 20’s overnight and upper 30’s-40’s F daytime, i.e. continued slushiness.<\/p>\n

The good news … actually, the GREAT news!! is that the only thing we have to complain about is the weather – small potatoes!!!<\/p>\n

And today, mid-afternoon…Bear and I made a quick run to Bigfork for a few items that the House Summers required. And we were rewarded with clear roads as well as some unexpectedly beautiful vistas, particularly across Flathead Lake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best views were in spots of travel with no safe place to stop and take a photo. We ended up in the parking lot of the Flathead Lake Brewery, formerly a bowling alley. The brewery-pub is very nice and has a primo spot overlooking the lake. I’ve enjoyed a glass with a friend on the deck … last summer. Today, it was a park and shoot affair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was beautiful.<\/p>\n

And in the midst of gray and dreary, there was stunning light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
