When I looked out of the backdoor this morning, the blizzard was over. Left in its wake was fresh snow and arctic cold. I longed for spring and began to think of Logan Pass. Surely we will go up there as soon as the road is plowed and the pass accessible. It will probably be […]
Kalispell teen survives collision with out of control canoe, the driver, Bigfoot, may have been intoxicated. Isn’t that a great headline? And doesn’t it pique your interest? Don’t you feel compelled to watch the video below? Let’s face it. My husband David is witty. Always has been. He comes up with the most wonderful one […]
A bit of graupel fell overnight and, at present, a blue sky peeks through the clouds to the west. Darker clouds hang over the mountains to the east and we are expecting snow. Icy sidewalks are thawing out leaving slush and puddles in its place. It feels like spring and it’s cold. _________________________ February 18, […]
It’s another beautiful day in Old Kalispell. It’s gray and warm at about 37 degrees. The rain that fell early this morning has turned into a wintry mix reminding us that old man winter isn’t finished with us yet. Standing at the kitchen sink I called to the girls to look at the big flakes […]
David and I were 17 and 16 when this photo was taken at Pontchartrain Beach in New Orleans. It is our favorite sweetheart picture, so I’m sharing it for Valentine’s Day. I haven’t received any Valentine’s Day flowers, cards, or candies since then but I do have the gift of LOVE. If you […]
A light fluffy snow fell all day yesterday, although there was little accumulation of it. It was a pleasant day; busy and productive. I finally sent my oldest son and his family the jar of fireweed honey that I had put up last August. It had been sitting on top of the microwave along with […]
Just as organized playground sports were a part of “the big kids” youth, shooting sports has been a part of M and E’s. Before moving from Bayou Country to Glacier Country, I had envisioned the girls learning to shoot proficiently. I pictured them fresh faced, dressed in jeans, cowboy boots, and having target practice out on […]
Alpenglow is an optical phenomenon. When the sun is just below the horizon a red, pink, or violet band of color can sometimes be seen on the opposite horizon. Because the sun is low, there is no direct path of light to the mountains. The light reflects off of snow, water, or ice particles that are […]
I was a bit surprised when David said, “I thought you’d have your coat on by now.” He had offered to start the Suburban for me. I thought it a very nice gesture as it was a frigid morning, around zero. “I’m in my pajamas”, I responded. I was in my Muk Luks and my […]
