The road to Somers

The mountain view part of Karl and my walk is off limits for the time being. The only home in the large acre sub-division that comprises our loop is occupied by its owners for Spring Break. Karl and I have their permission to be on the property when they are not there.

So…we dawdle on our own 8 acres and the 40 acres of state land with peeks at the mountains from the edges.

Yesterday, on a run to Kalispell we headed for the Somers walk en route. As we rounded the bend in Somers Rd., Mr. Hay Farmer on board his John Deere was ahead…

These two Osprey were working on their nest in the bird sanctuary adjacent to the walking trail. The male left for a hunt verifying the pair as Osprey with the characteristic white under-wing – majestic!

Always something interesting and beautiful on the road to Somers, Montana.

Just for fun

Bob has been keeping me company as I work. Karl is sleeping under a tree outside. Some code has been giving me fits so I thought I’d distract myself – just for fun.

Gettin’ Green

On the way to Kalispell this morning, as I rounded the bend at Creston, I noticed that the fields were showing a bit of green. The valley snow has been nearly gone for over a week and temperatures have been in the mid-50’s to nearly 70 one day.

Things are starting to get green.

*The main “crop” is hay for cattle and horses.

A Somers Day

Somers, Montana that is. Karl and I walk on the “Rails to Trails” historic foot and bike path on our way to the grocery in Kalispell. Yesterday started with drizzle but gave way to sun and stayed that way.

A Somers Day.
