I'm home after a six-hour drive across Montana. What a beautiful state. It's so easy to forget when you stay in Missoula all the time. I mean -- Missoula's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but there is some amazing scenery beyond this valley. I marvel every time I get out of town.
Along with sweeping prairies and mountain vistas, I saw the following things while driving today:
- Sunshine
- Fog
- Rain
- Snow
- Cautious drivers, bless 'em
- Amazingly, not one police car
- A stubbly wheat field full of Canada geese
- A few hawks and eagles
- A loaded hay truck with a border collie perched on top like the king of the world.
- A casino sign that said: "Ho ho ho, come in and win some dough."
- A sedan with a rear-window decal that said, "Beef: It's what's for dinner."
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I have lots of catching up to do. I STILL have to address my Christmas cards, assuming they're waiting for me at the post office by now. A few gifts remain to be wrapped and sent. My email inbox is overflowing. Kitties need snuggling. House needs decluttering. Projects await. Bear with me.

I agree, everywhere I've driven in Montana is beautiful.
Just today we also saw fog, snow, water, trees and two eagles :)
The police were all with me. No wrecks or anything, but every time I turned around, there they were.
