Saturday Afternoon Ride






Was going to head to the West and take a jaunt to Libby, but decided to let the Vacationers have the road today. We hung around the valley and had a lazy day. We started out down by Flathead Lake, then across to hwy 35 to Big Fork to pick up another, probably the last bag of cherries for the season. We veered off the main road and headed for Blaine and Strawberry lake. We didn't even get out of the city limits of Creston and came across this fella helping himself to abundent Huckleberries on the bush! He was very close to the road at first and just watched me. Then by the time I had the camera ready he just turned around and kept on eating! They are sooooo cooollll! I love bears! We continued on our way, and before we got back into Kalispell, witnessed the beginning of wheat harvest here in the valley. Then on the way up our road, we have noticed that the hay has been cut. Now today they are baling. Small squares in one field and big rounds right next to it. The Flathead River looks down to me a little. An island in the middle and lots of beach on the sides. We mosied back home to watch some more of the Olympics and have a home made speghetti supper. The Dish Network Technician that came and worked on our system yesterday was awesome. He got us up and running with an entire new set up. A Hopper and Joey to run all of our TVs. It will take some getting used to and oh yes, another learning experience! Monday we will venture up to Glacier where I hope to have more Bear sightings!

  1. Some days the simple days are the best. I love the smell of fresh cut hay.
