Getting Ready
Bozeman, Montana
2024
Temperatures here during the month of October here have more often than not been 15-20 degrees higher than normal, which in this climate makes for beautiful, warm, fall weather; the best that an Indian Summer has to offer. But that hasn’t fooled the trees into thinking winter isn’t just around the corner, so they’ve been busy shedding their leaves in preparation for snow. The willows around our smaller pond totally blanket the surface of the water during this time of year. I can never resist sitting by the pond for a while enjoying the mosaic of leaf shapes and colors.
I love this! I was just in the Beartooths and we didn’t have one day without sunshine for 8 days and I got to go home via the Beartooth highway which, miraculously, hadn’t closed. And a very cute family of mountain goats greeted me at the summit! Such beautiful country.
Thanks Molly. You hit the right time to be in the Beartooths in the fall, that’s for sure. They turned off the Indian Summer spigot here a few days ago and it’s been cold and snowy since. Snow on the ground right now it Bozeman.
