Friday morning perfection.<\/p>\n

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

Between the sunshine, blue sky and perfect for us temps…who could NOT roll in the snow for the fun of it ? :)! ?<\/p>\n

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

Feelin’ good.<\/p>\n

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

I finished my work day mid-afternoon. Karl and I headed west to Kila and Calm Animal Care for Karl to have a spa treatment: a chiropractic follow up and a first time acupuncture. Yea, I was a little envious but actually it is a treat for me as well. We arrived early enough to have a long leisurely walk on the “Rails to Trails” path that looks to the view in the photo above. Dr. Calm’s office where we both wait and get treated has 2 1\/2 large picture windows that look out on this valley view. Small trees just outside the windows were full of small birds chirping gaily in the almost spring sunshine. <\/p>\n

The clinic is in an old house and exudes the same calm as Dr. Calm herself and all of the staff and even the other patients. Karl and I relaxed while waiting. Karl nearly falls asleep on his feet during the massage\/chiropractic and he did fall asleep during the acupuncture part. I shared the foam mattress that serves as the dog bed and managed nearly falling asleep myself! Once home we were both feeling rejuvenated and had a wonderful evening walk around the loop as the sun started down.<\/p>\n

Friday was to be the day to go to Great Falls and meet Ree Drummond (Pioneer Woman) but I had made the decision two weeks ago that I wouldn’t try to do the trip. As it turned out, the weather would have held me back as well.<\/p>\n

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

…both the northern and southern pass options – snow, ice and or both. <\/p>\n

But Friday here, was sunny, clear and beautiful – a beautiful evening and a good night’s rest all around after a good work week.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s weather was a wintry mix which didn’t stop us from a morning grocery run and dampish walk in town and a lazy afternoon in front of the woodstove.<\/p>\n

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

This morning. Misty, foggy, damp…another fire to keep things cozy until the sun started burning off the fog…<\/p>\n

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

…and we headed out for another round of our home loop.<\/p>\n
