A forecast of warm weather and no snow, pretty much makes this the last day of XCountry skiing for the season.
Tomorrow is bike season!

It is symphony weekend in Missoula. Here is our grandson checking in on rehearsal (and his musician parents).

On President’s Day, twenty years ago today, we purchased a house on what is locally known as Political Hill from the Bushes. This is back when “W” was in office.
These Bushes were non-political and we got to be very good friends. Sadly, these two adventurers passed away last year.
This Minnesota emigrant excitedly stayed awake that first night in our new home, watching a full moon and its shimmery reflection on the surface of the mountain-lined Flathead Lake. It had been our longtime dream to live in the mountains. That first day seems like yesterday.
Where does time go?

BTW, you can see in the distance behind me a low fog bank. This is a classic NW Montana inversion day with thick fog in the valley below and full sun up on the mountains. When we’re socked in at home, we often look at the mountaintop webcam for shadows — not unlike groundhogs, I suppose.
