Clair Kemlo snapped the first pic up the road at Flathead lake. We have much less drama here with all the artificial light in town as shown in the second photo. Still, it’s a good showing!

I had planned to make the chickpea soup @Goodport posted the other day, but time and energy were short today. I had some leeks and potatoes that needed to be used, so voila: a basic potato leek soup. It made vats of soup, so I’ll be freezing at least three meals’ worth. DD loved it, always a plus!

Good morning on a cold but sunny Saturday. Frost is everywhere, which reminds me to be grateful we have a garage. 🚙❄️🩵

Imperious Duchess Daisy is ensconced in a fleece throw which is now her cold weather bed. The look says it all “Don’t you dare mess with my bedding, human”. #Caturday

We had an appointment in Missoula this afternoon. The light, clouds, and mountains made the trip worth the effort. Thank you to DD for taking the pics while I drove.

Good evening to all. 💫✨🌟. Several kinds of weather push through daily, & the light is shifting southward. In this new week, may we each find sustenance in our relationships & the love in our hearts. It will be busy & disappointments are likely, but we can show love and kindness whatever happens. 🩵🤍

G’Morning. 👋🏼☕️Daisy is in hiding, still sleeping on this All Saints Day #Caturday. Here, instead, is a miracle: this violet has survived in my care for over four years, and recently put forth eight blooms simultaneously. Apparently, like me, she has found her true home. November blessings to all. 💜💚💜

Happy Halloween, Samhain, or Friday. These are the Mission Mountains just above Mission today. Sometimes I just have to stop and grab a picture. I hope you are doing well. It’s been a week! 🍂🧡🎃🤎🍁

The snow line moves ever closer to the valley floor. A brief snow squall during recess had all the kiddos squealing with joy. I enjoyed the feeling of wet snowflakes landing on my face. Since snow by Halloween is common here, costumes are planned to accommodate jackets & snow pants. G’Night. ✨

How is everyone holding up? This is me: already tired tomorrow (and maybe the next 100 days?).

It’s been a gorgeous day in our valley. I popped over to a local farm to pick up 5.5 lbs of raw alpaca wool for my daughter. It is so soft! Liz will wash, card, spin, then crochet or knit with it.

Yes, and Daisy and my daughter have bonded through this. That is a very good shift.

It’s #Caturday and Duchess Daisy is all curled up in my lap most evenings these days. We keep each other company and warm. 🧡🤍🤎
As she grows into her role as the only 4-legged family member, she is surprisingly loving it, but she still looks for BuddyGus every day.💔 We don’t like it either, Daisy.

We had no school today, so it was a good day to put away the outdoor tools & close up the outdoor water.
Then, I turned to decorating inside.

Lights are a true benefit in the dark months, so there will be strings of light and color until spring. 💫✨⚡️
