Snowshoeing in Glacier…

Seems like forever since I have been on here!  Life is just crazy busy but going well here.  It seems like winter has been oh, so very long this year.  Perhaps it because it’s because we haven’t seen the sun in what seems like forever.  No big dips in temperature, which has been great for the seep and other outside animals.

Last weekend the sun finally came out, so we took the boys and Emma up to the Park to do some snowshoeing…

Reflection on Lake McDonald…

As you can see, part of Lake McDonald was glass smooth and the mountains reflected beautifully…

The view of one of our pastures from the top of the sledding hill…

I feel so blessed to live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.  I never grow tired of viewing these Rocky Mountains, especially early in the morning or like when these pictures were taken, at sunset.  It has been a very pleasant couple of past days, blue sky and sunshine, we don’t get many of these this time of year.  The mountains here are reflecting the brilliant sunset from the west.

Frosty Friday…

I love mornings like this, when it is pea-soupish outside,  then the fog lifts and everything is covered in ice…
