This time of year is prime time.
It is cool, then warm: almost hot, then cool
The transition to green from the white of Winter always happens with seeming suddenness.
During the cool, rainy days there is fresh mountain snow.
The road home is dressed in green, white and blue, blue sky.
The valley…
The mountains…
Prime Time.
This morning it was gray and rainy and Auggie had a touch of cabin fever.
He and Bear got a bit of chase you, chase me going.
Auggie launched on to the back of the chair.
T…I…M…B…E…R…R…R !!!
The chair tilted back…balanced precariously with Auggie hanging over the top…and then it fell.
Auggie lept off and landed on his feet.
Chair wins.
Auggie is L…O…N…G, but short-legged.
But Auggie mostly sleeps stretched out.
…or a bit crooked.
Bear is long legged…
Hmmm…
Too big for their beds!
At least they are rain showers.
But that is my opinion.
Auggie is fine with snow.
But rain gives him the “Oh noes!!”
Rain gives Bear more spots to get a drink.
Because the front porch water bowl is not good enough…
April Showers.
It was a stellar start to Kalispell Farmer’s Market.
It didn’t snow.
It didn’t rain.
The sun was shining!
Yes, it started cool, but there was NO precipitation and the SUN WAS SHINING!!!
Bear and I were about 15 minutes late for the absolute start, but still.
What a grand day.
The loot: Eggs and cheese curds from Flathead Cheese, an arnica salve from Montana Folk Remedies, Chocolates from JC Chocolates, Spring Greens, tomatoes and Persian cucumbers from MountainView Gardens (hydroponic) and woven placemats from Martha’s Weaving.
The eggs are beautifully colored by nature for Easter!
We came home…
…and enjoyed the continued sunshine.
The closet door was hung!
Farmer’s Market: opening day.
Today, Easter Sunday, I took the below video. It is marginal but I included as it gives an idea of our walks. I need to figure out what I’m doing wrong with the video outside or if it is just the woods that confuses the camera or ???
Don’t try to watch it full screen – it is best in the small window.
***House maintenance notes for ME: Changed water filter (uneventfully!) and cleared washer discharge (1 lb. lye with hot water before and much after)
