Since I moved to this property, I have hoped to find some antler sheds. Today, just crossing the property line, nearing the end of our morning walk, I looked down and there it was. I am so used to seeing sticks and rocks and it took a moment to register that I was looking at an antler.
Karl is not interested so it is safe with my other finds of turkey and raven feathers and a heart shaped rock.
Friday morning perfection.
Between the sunshine, blue sky and perfect for us temps…who could NOT roll in the snow for the fun of it ? :)! ?
Feelin’ good.
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.
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.
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.
…both the northern and southern pass options – snow, ice and or both.
But Friday here, was sunny, clear and beautiful – a beautiful evening and a good night’s rest all around after a good work week.
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.
This morning. Misty, foggy, damp…another fire to keep things cozy until the sun started burning off the fog…
…and we headed out for another round of our home loop.
