"Tears"

Tears are such a blessing
They help to cleanse the soul
Will also keep us humble
Along the way to reach our goal.

Theyr'e a sign of tender feelings
A treasure we should keep
As the burdens of our brothers
Often cause a friend to weep .

Acts of kindness many times
Will bring them to our eyes
Caring how some one may suffer
As on a bed of pain he lies.

They will come with deep compassion
Either in sorrow or in joy
Strong men can't even hide them
Tho their strength they would employ.

It is not a sighn of weakness
But feelings deep and kind
Tward our brothers or our sisters
Or someone else we find.

     Ah! Me thinks "Spring" might be trying to edge into the picture? at least some of the days are almost shirtsleeve type, I have been able to (with jacket on) ride my bicycle on the bike trail between Somers and Kalispell, for sure there are no spring flowers yet, however there is less ice or snow on the trail, as we all know, the bad weather is not over yet, but it is nice to have a few warmer days for a change, and be able to be out doors!

     We do have some pictures lined up to show some of the fall color of past years, that might be interesting, along with other things we have taken snapshots of while out & about.

"Looking north in Glacier Park." "A wonderful thistle seed puff." "These are some Llamas that live near by."


"Fjord horses being raised across the valley." "Ice fishing on Somers Bay." "A look north in Glacier Park at the High Country."

"A look at this month's weather."

     Weather here now is sure mixed, I don't think it knows whether to lean towards spring or return to winter, in any event it has been a real light and warmer weather pattern this year, but as we all know, "Don't mess with Mother Nature" Heh! Especially here in Montana for if you're looking for a weather change, just wait "15" minutes!

     The last part of February, we experienced a nice cold snap with temps that reached into the single digit in our area. and "minus 0" near by at the little town of Polson at the other end of the lake.

     As we slipped into March we experienced a sudden chilly snow storm that dropped two or three inches of wet snow on the surrounding area and decorated the trees in white again.

We will be saying so-long for now, and start getting ready for the next issue.
