(The Sea)

Down beside the mighty ocean
Waves rolled in one by one.
Never ceasing in their effort
From early morn till setting sun.

Stormy seas can build them higher
But their rhythm stays the same.
Sometimes we wonder as we watch them
If they’re playing some kind of game.

Deep and blue and filled with mystery
There are secrets never told.
So strong that on its water’s
The greatest ships can ride so bold.

Hidden down beneath the surface
Is the home where fishes dwell.
Mingling there all size and color
Even those who wear a shell.

Man has yet this power to conquer
Though he’s tried to no avail.
This example of creation
Never stirred but by a gale.

     My but the trees here are just now starting to turn their fall colors, the Larch or Tamarack have not yet taken on their pretty glossy "Bright Yellow" fall coats but will soon I'm sure.   Our little valley is changing fast with rapid growth & expanding population the roads and streets are getting to look like the Los Angeles area.  I am still able to ride my bicycle and get a ten mile or so ride in most every day, I have to croud as many rides in as I can as the season us old "Duffers"can safely ride is pretty short here in this part of Montana.
     One of our daughters Heidi and granddaughter Marie are due to arrive via train for a two or three day visit, the train comes into Whitefish a few miles north of us.    We received an e-mail from a close relative Ruth Fradkin (Who also receives the Scuttlebutt) in Israel, enclosed was a nice photo of her and her son Chanan, It is always so nice to hear from family and friends, we do keep in touch with grandson Thomas Hochmann via "Windows Live Messenger" who is teaching english in China.

      Be sure and drop by if you are in our neighborhood, until next time
"Have a Great Day".

"A look at some of the weather we are having."

"Weather wise we are doing "OK" the middle of September we had a few good thunder storms which carried some heavy rain showers mixed with hail, we also had snow in the higher elevations like up in Glacier Park. Also just in the last week or so we have seen the snowline drop about half way down the mountains that border our valley and According to the weather people we might have another light winter, time will tell.
