Good day!

This month is becoming my chronicle of illness. I think I’m making headway. The soar throat is vastly improved & it seems like the congestion is breaking up.

I’ve also lost over two pounds in less than a week. Not exactly ideal for drafting.

Be everwell.

A trail crosses a grassy slope of gold and enters a stand of pine trees. In the distance, storm clouds sit atop a wooded mountain where snow is falling near the summit.

Good day!

Time to admit to myself that I’m sicker than I thought. Really, though, it’s a bad cold. I took meds yesterday morning & they knocked me out for hours.

Then, I finished the narrative outline. I am behind on chores, which is rankling me.

Be everwell.

A large rock on the trail is covered in a variety of mosses and lichens, the rock itself sitting atop dirt and pine needles.

Good day!

Snow storm over Lolo Peak almost a week ago. It was an omen. Now, all the mountains are white.

The wind was bitter cold in my face when I took this photograph.

May we, together, be the storm and coat the planet with compassion and freedom.

Be everwell.

The view looks across rolling terrain of golden grass with a few scattered pines. On the left are the lower, wooded slopes of Mount Dean Stanton. On the extreme right is the broad valley of Missoula. In the distance, dense clouds sit upon Lolo Peak dropping snow, yet it’s blue sky above them.

Wanderer is kinda neat. I think I need to spend more time with it though. And ActivityPub federation seems a bit hit and miss according to the issue tracker

A screenshot of a trail I uploaded which is linked in the post, with an image attached of my bike in front of a river surrounded by trees. The main view panel is a map showing the trail.

The black and white photograph captures a social gathering outside a residential building. A group of people, both men and women, is engaged in various interactions; some are embracing or dancing while others converse animatedly. The scene suggests a casual, possibly celebratory event with attendees dressed in everyday attire like jeans, jackets, and hats.

The setting includes part of the house visible on the right side, featuring windows, doors, and siding typical of suburban housing from an earlier era suggested by its style. In front is a paved surface where several individuals stand or walk around. There's also a car with a reflective white emblem parked beside one person, indicating transportation to this event.

Shadows cast across the ground suggest bright sunlight conditions during daytime hours. The overall mood seems convivial and relaxed among acquaintances or friends gathered for an outdoor social occasion in what appears to be New Zealand city life context as noted by the reference link provided at Image source.

"Indigenous tourism is growing across North America. In Canada, it generates roughly $3.7bn CA in annual revenue, while in the US, Native tourism is a $15.7bn industry. Tribes are increasingly making use of their best assets to propel this trend: their people and their land."

Good day!

Yesterday started okay, but a neck ache got so out of control that I was too dizzy to stand & it cost me the one meal I’d eaten.

I then slept over 12hrs.

The dizziness has passed, the neck better, but I’m cautious. Water only while I continue with the book.

Be everwell.

An old horse trough that’s rotten , plants growing in it and lichen growing on it, sits in a meadow of golden grass where there’s a tiny pool of water. The meadow is surrounded by thick pine forest.

A calm body of water reflects the blue sky and surrounding trees, some green and others leafless, suggesting early autumn. Dense forest lines the far bank, while vibrant purple wildflowers bloom in the foreground on the left.

A person in a red shirt, dark pants, and black cap walks away from the camera across a bright, grassy field. Trees surround the field and a forested area lies ahead. The sky is clear and blue, casting warm sunlight over the peaceful, natural landscape.

A person wearing a helmet and casual clothes rides a dark-colored horse along a sun-dappled forest path. Tall trees and dense foliage surround the trail, with sunlight filtering through the leaves. In the background, a body of water is partially visible through the trees, adding to the peaceful, natural setting.

A sunlit wetland bordered by forest, with tall, sparse trees in the foreground—some bare or dying—amid green vegetation, rocks, and yellow wildflowers. Marshy water and grasses stretch into the distance beneath a clear blue sky.

Good day!

I’m exhausted, but what a sensational day. Yes, there was a drive in the fog, & another in the rain.

There were also two adorable two-year-olds, great conversation, a superb meal, & my team won.

Wonderful memories are made of such moments.

Be everwell.

A trail laden with pine needles descends a wooded gulch where there’s still green grass in autumn, though it’s sparse. A fallen tree lies to the left, another to the right farther away as the trail drifts to the left, then curls to the right. There’s abundant lichen, green on brown. The sky is gray.

Thanksgiving morning hike to get my exercise ring closed for today. Trail was a bit wet and plenty of leaves almost made me roll my ankle once.

Here in the US, I’m joining others for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I’m looking forward to the day’s gathering, which is a rare occurrence for me, while also excited about the book I’m planning.

Enjoy the day, everyone!

Be everwell.

A trail crosses a small, open expanse where the ground is coated white, but frequent passage has mixed the dusting of snow with the dirt on the trail. All around, the pine forest is frosted, white on deep green. The sky is gray. There's a sense of stillness like only winter can convey, the frost inspiring contemplation.

Good day!

It snowed. IS snowing. Not a lot, but enough to cover the grass.

It’s gorgeous.

I do, though, need to travel early tomorrow morning, so I’m hoping the roads are clear enough.

Especially the canyon. After that, I’m not too worried. Life in western Montana.

Be everwell.

In a forest of Ponderosa Pine, two tree trunks stand out owing to the lichen growing on them, lichen that’s all the brighter in the dim light and light drizzle. The brown grass and gray sky serve as contrast.

Good day!

Yesterday, I went to Pattee Canyon, climbed high on Mount Sentinel, descended Crazy Canyon, & crossed some vast, open slopes for the views while it snowed in the mountains.

9.2 miles, 14.8K.

I spent the rest of the day writing the narrative outline. Bliss!

Be everwell.

A view looking across a meadow of golden grass, bare brush, and a few new growth pines at a dense pine forest. Rising behind is a wooded mountain where snow is falling, the sky gray.

Good day!

It’s cold, but above freezing. It’s rainy, but supposed to stop, at least here in the valley.

Regardless, I’m going for a hike this morning. Not far, maybe 6 or 7 miles.

I need to breathe, I need to stress my body a little. The forest & mountains call.

Be everwell.

The left edge of the image is a trail. To its right, green grass gives way to golden grass and red brush that descend to a highway on the far right and the city beyond it. In the background are Mount Sentinel to the left and Mount Dean Stanton silhouetted at center, lingering fog beneath it. The sky is mostly cloudy.

#Today 23

Good day!

Quiet reflection is a good thing. It’s what those who lose their humanity should spend time doing.

Not trying to steal everyone else’s.

May we all remember compassion, kindness, and righteousness.

Be everwell.

On a steep, wild slope that angles up to the right, a slope covered in boulders, brush, and snow-laden grass, a gap between pine trees reveals a snow-covered mountain, a deep, narrow valley between. The sky is cloudy.

Two entwined trails lead up Massaemett Mt to the fire lookout tower on its summit. One of only two stone towers in the state, and possibly the US's oldest.
