Good day!

I’d look for signs of spring, but there’s no need. I’m carrying them around in my head.

The variable, roller coaster weather of spring drives my sinuses crazy some days.

Trees are starting to bud, though. The woody brush is leafing. At least the wind died.

Be everwell.

Good day!

A windy day is expected. β€œBreezy” is the term we’d have used when I lived in Wyoming.

Even so, there’s always the possibility that a fallen tree branch could cut off my power.

Please don’t do that when I have a blog post to draft and a chapter to edit.

Be everwell.

Good day!

We seem to be passing the thresholds that qualify as spring. The temperature. The passing of snow. Of course, bunnies and chocolate.

It’s a strange thing that humans do, creating measures of time, which includes calendars and clocks in the first place.

Be everwell.

Good day!

It’s the yo-yo weather of spring, which is to say, we plunge into winter, and then soar towards summer.

It’s time to soar again for Easter, which, these days, mostly translates to chocolate.

The final chocolate holiday until Halloween. That’s an odd link.

Be everwell.

An image from October, 2024. Blodgett Canyon was the hike I measure all other hikes against.

There are some wonderful local trails, but none can compare. I try to do one β€œspectacular” hike each year.

Time will tell if I find one this year.

Be everwell.

Good day!

Light rain falling. This is the wettest couple of months I’ve seen here in a long time. I’m not going to complain. We needed it.

When we get rain, though, it typically isn’t like what I remember back east as a kid. Downpours here are rare, and usually brief.

Be everwell.

What’s amazing about this shot isn’t just what you see, which is an island in the Clark Fork River, but what you don’t see.

I took this image directly across from downtown (no April Fools).

The channel on the left is where they siphon off irrigation water.

Good day!

Winter, not that we really had one, is back. Why is it that when below freezing temps return in the spring, they feel extra cold?

Why is it that I left a window open last night?

Well, I did sleep wonderfully last night after finishing my latest project.

Be everwell.

Good day!

It’s cold and drizzling outside, and I’m facing a big day of editing. I like a challenge.

We humans have evolved that way.

Let’s not stop now. If there’s anything worth bringing back from the past, it’s the appreciation of excellence and achievement.

Be everwell.

Good day!

The weather here for NO KINGS DAY is supposed to be cloudy, but relatively mild.

Since I don’t want to negotiate downtown traffic, I’ll walk there like last time.

On yesterday’s walk, at each entrance to the path, someone had written in chalk, NO KINGS DAY.

Be everwell.

Busy, busy, busy…

I’ll grocery shop early, meaning before sunrise, which means I reach the store before the buses pickup the kids.

I’ll finish shopping after the buses are done, return home after sunrise, and walk.

I’m annoyingly efficient.

Be everwell.

It’s below freezing outside and someone left the windows open last night.

Hot beverage on the way, what Evie Cat refers to as β€œhot sewer water.”

No Kings is on the way the day after tomorrow. We the People don’t forget, nor do we tolerate.

One thing that brings me a measure of peace here, is all the flowing water. There are three rivers within the city limits, and then there’s Rattlesnake Creek.

The water you see is headed for the Columbia and the Pacific. Sometimes I want it to carry me away…

Be everwell.

Thick clouds above. No rain. That’s a lot of the reason why I moved here. My English skin isn’t fond of burning.

I’ll be out on Saturday no matter what the weather is like. The reasons to march seem to grow exponentially each time.

It’s time to be heard. ✊

We have four seasons here, which is part of the reason I moved here:

β€’ Frozen
β€’ Mud & Tick
β€’ Dry & Dusty
β€’ Unpredictable

You might recognize Mud as spring. Yup. There are also flowers, along with spring fever. I have that. Can’t wait to hike again.

She’d walk that road,
if only she had the freedom to do so.
Maybe she did.
Maybe she’d been sleeping too long.
Looking around,
she realized
those around her were sleeping, too.

Wishing all a happy and blessed season ahead (yesterday was Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, Autumn in the South). We had some springy weather earlier in the week (to at least 59C/60F) but the day itself rolled in just a few degrees above freezing (just a little below average) with some pretty fog. Rain and snow overnight and that looks about the same for the week ahead #spring #winter #sprinter #Alberta #Canada #nature #GetOutside #BorealForest

Good day!

Rattlesnake Creek is an absolute gem, and I’ve only hiked a small portion of it. It used to be dammed, but now runs free.

Our mayor, John Engren, oversaw the final phase in 2020-21, but then tragically died from pancreatic cancer.

The memorial is new.

The major symptoms of Covid ended on Jan 3rd. Some minor ones linger, or reoccur. One of is β€œthe taste of Covid.”

I lost a lot of weight during Covid and was shocked to discover that continues, albeit slowly.

I blame foods tasting β€œoff.”

Good day!

This image is from my morning walk yesterday when the sun was trying to burn through the fog.

By mid morning, it succeeded and we had our first day that was sufficiently mild that I opened the windows at home.

So, of course, Evie Cat was a maniac all day.

Be everwell.

Three times I’ve climbed Mt. Sentinel in the last 3 years.

In 2023 as the remnants of a hurricane approached and the temp plummeted, the wind howling. Then, in 2025 in the rain and in 2026 in the snow.

All 3 pics taken facing roughly in the same direction.

Be everwell.

Milder weather is supposed to arrive today.

Oddly, the most winter-like weather we’ve had all winter has been the last few days. Yet, we’ve had a lot of moisture, which is more like April.

Nothing is predictable about our weather the last couple of years.

Be everwell.

It’s our last day of winter before a heatwave arrives. Whatever.

Maybe spring will be kinder. I think I need to regroup in a different season, and official spring is right around the corner anyway.

A lot coming, including No Kings on March 28th.

The summit of Mount Sentinel.

Normally, there are mountains all around.

Instead, in a snowstorm, there was nothing, as if an eraser had removed the rest of the world.

It was comforting. It was distressing. It was like being dead while alive.

It seems crazy, but as winter is about to end, this the most winter-like weather we’ve had, even if yesterday’s snow swiftly turned to rain.

Our temps are supposed to soar, soon. I’d normally cheer that, but I somehow feel cheated out of a real winter.

For the first time, I cooked spinach from the produce aisle. I haven’t been able to get it frozen for six months.

Why?

Over 90% of spinach is grown in China.

The spinach I had last night was excellent, locally grown, and cost me 5x as much.

We’re in what could be our last sorta winter storm: cold, but not cold enough for snow, at least not in the valley.

I’ll make a quick trip to the grocery store early this morning before sunrise, then walk and edit (less than 20 chapters remain).

Be everwell.

Some pictures I distinctly remember taking. This is one of them.

Given the weather, I was worried there’d be few views (I was right).

First opportunity, I crawled beneath a branch to photograph a mountain and this branch frame appeared. It wasn’t planned.

It’s actually cold. That’s saying a lot this winter.

Evie Cat was racing around like it’s spring. Now, though, she’s gone back to bed. She does that.

While I have my morning coffee, she sleeps. I’ve never had a cat that snuggles at night like Evie Cat.

Be everwell.

Since I couldn't go to work yesterday, I went for a walk in the bush- keeping an ear on the trees- with winds potentially gusting to 100km/62mi per hour, I was alert for falling branches or whole trees- a couple of times I thought-okay- time to move along!
Here's an 8 minute video featuring some of the crazy blowing snow with bonus of some cute birds in the yard eating seeds πŸ˜€
