On the way home…on the Somers cuttoff…the bridge over the Flathead River…there is a spectacular view upriver, especially with certain light. I thought today might be the day as the light was perfect and no traffic behind me…I thought.
But as I approached the bridge, with the camera already good to go…a car behind…RATS!
Out the window…moving!
After a noon walk around our home loop, Bear was in the woods keeping an eye on a chittering squirrel when I started the motorhome to let it run for a bit.
Bear heard the engine start and ran to get aboard.
I’m planning a very short and very close to home shakedown this weekend before a longer trip in a few weeks. Something drained my brand new (in April) battery with no definitive cause. Bear has just a few day trips and the one overnight when I picked him up, for rv experience. A new Bob/house-sitter has been employed. Sara moved to Utah :( …but we all LOVE Hailley :)!! So, a short trial run for all to make sure everything is in order.
Bear is ready to go!
Bear is 7 today … Happy Birthday dear Bear!
Sunday morning woods.
…with Bear.
…with Bear and morning light.

With Bear.
This photo…serendipity…
On the way to town I drove into a nursery…the entrance on a kind of blind curve.
But, I was too early, the nursery opened 30 minutes later.
I turned around in the lot and before getting back on the highway…the clouds and the light and the snow…and the birds: serendipty!
Another day of spectacular light.
Bear with me in the Jeep, we had a walk, fueled the Jeep, got groceries and other supplies.
We were home just before noon. Bear ran the property while I unloaded and put away.
Then…worn out from the morning and asleep in his chair, all supplies put away….Bob and I had our time…on the front porch.
Low tech pen and paper…I sat and thought and made my list for the rest of the weekend:
clean floors
roast tomatoes
roast cauliflower
cabbage soup
pesto mac n cheese
pot of beans
wild rice for this week…
Later.
Some of the list done.
Bob inside for a nap.
Bear and I outside. Gray skies. Drizzle.
The beardog patrols the property.
A Fall afternoon. The larch are lightening.
a Saturday…in October.
