The no breakfast I can do &#8211; even though I am a daily breakfast person&#8230;the no coffee is another kettle of fish altogether!  I have a 35 mile drive to the clinic and all the way there I just wanted to pull over and take a nap.  The good news is that I didn&#8217;t fall asleep driving and my after blood test treat was a Cowgirl Mocha from my favorite coffee spot AND Lox on an everything bagel.  I know that last bit doesn&#8217;t exactly sound like Montana, but Whitefish has a superb bagel place where they boil the bagels, then bake in the proper kind of oven &#8211; just like New York City!<\/p>\n<p>Because I am trying to think about consolidating trips to save on gas costs, I combined a grocery shopping trip with the run to Whitefish. By the time all of this got done it was 11 a.m. before I got home and got to work and then I was called on to help with bus navigation&#8230; The day slipped away without much work getting done.  Finally I just called the day, called Karl and we took our evening walk about 7:30.  I had something else planned for a quick post for today, but the mountains had a new look that I couldn&#8217;t resist.<\/p>\n<p>Back from the walk, I downloaded the photos and took the computer &#8211; and a glass of cognac to the front porch.  I have to &#8216;fess to the cognac as it is in one of the photos and looks so pretty that I didn&#8217;t want to disappear it.  I have sworn off wine for the week &#8211; &#8216;nother story &#8211; and really intended no alcohol but the cool evening and the playing with photos&#8230;..I succumbed and I&#8217;m NOT sorry!  But I did run out of steam before getting the blog post finished &#8211; hence the late post this morning.<\/p>\n<p>I know a lot of you skipped reading all of the above &#8211; that&#8217;s ok!   Here are the photos.<\/p>\n<p>It was the wispy clouds hanging around the mountain tops that called to me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningWispyCloud500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Mountain Views\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"Mountain Views\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningWispyCloudB500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Mountain Views\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"Mountain Views\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningWispyCloud375500.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Mountain Views\" height=\"500\" style=\"width: 375px; height: 500px\" title=\"Mountain Views\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningBlueHole500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Mountain Views\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"Mountain Views\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A blue hole above and below, to the west, the clearing sky.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningToWest375500.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Mountain Views\" height=\"500\" style=\"width: 375px; height: 500px\" title=\"Mountain Views\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningToWest500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Mountain Views\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"Mountain Views\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningPorch500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Front Porch\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"Front Porch\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the front porch&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningBob500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Front Porch\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"Front Porch\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Jun08\/WedEveningKarlandBob500375.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Front Porch\" height=\"375\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 375px\" title=\"Front Porch\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An evening shared after last night&#8217;s walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is a little late for some of my &#8220;coffee with From the Front Porch readers&#8221;&#8230;Yesterday was a little out of whack&#8230;it started with no coffee and no breakfast as I had an 8 a.m. appointment for a &#8220;fasting&#8221; blood test as part of my annual physical.
