Another Visitor

This little guy stopped by several times this week.  A hawk dropped in this morning.  The rush to eat as much as possible before the rain created quite a show.

Our week began with wind, clouds and a few snow bursts.  The mountains were showered with white snow.  Yesterday the sun was out and the wind silent.  We took a lovely ride in the mountains nearby.

Today it is raining.  Temperatures continue to be above normal.  We are expected to experience temperatures in the mid forties to low fifties again this week.  I am loving this amazing weather.

Unexpected Company

"We had unexpected company for a meal with us…they just dropped in unannounced. We hadn't seen the new baby so the miracle was truly amazing to behold. There was Mom, Dad and The Little One.
They didn't stay long, just a quick meal on sunflower seeds and then a melding into the night. With this they were gone.

The Dad was regal in his finest male adornment, the Mother soft and gentle and the Little One ever present with curious and new found wonder of life. I know they were sent just for me for I have been searching and longing for 'curious wonder of life for myself.' Some say, "seeing is believing."  What I saw was a bundle, a spiritual bundle carefully wrapped with tradition, magic and 'the curious wonder'. The amazing thing was I didn't see it with my eyes, I saw it with my heart."

My prayer is that we all will remember to see with our hearts and remember with our souls.

Unhappy Moose

Raised hackles gave Ken a clear message his presence was not appreciated.  The moose was clearly not in the mood to have her picture taken.

The moose was spotted chowing down on the side of the road as we traveled to Big Sky earlier this week.  Several people stopped to marvel at the rare sight of such a magnificent animal.

We are spending as much time as possible outside walking and enjoying this weather.  Temperatures are in the mid to high twenties in the mornings and in the low sixties to mid seventies later in the day.

Leaves are turning color and slowly falling.
