Where the wild wind blows…
Christine November 17th, 2009
…. on the eastern side of the Divide! It was a gorgeous November day in Helena when I took this photo over the weekend, but no loungers were to be seen on the park benches at the walking mall downtown. Granted, it was 19 degrees with a wind chill of somewhere around 10 — pansies. Including me! We all bundled up against the chill and hurried on our way toward somewhere warmer.
We much preferred our late breakfast within the cozy warmth of the Crepe shop just inside the walking mall. Yum! The aroma of coffee and Crepe’ was delicious. The company of my family was not bad either.
Outside the little snow which had fallen was shifting and blowing into strange shapes on the ground. The roads were bare and dry but the lingering reality of more snow on the way is evident. It is almost time to put on the snow tires. But wait, why does my thermometer this morning say 62 degrees? Old Man winter is playing with us. I am now totally mixed up. Confused or not; it is time to go outdoors!

What a wild temperature swing. Just like the word verification ‘kooky’. I hope you are enjoying the 60degree weather while you can.
Coffee and crepes sounds wonderful, please can you send some over? (-: It seems that no-one can now rely on predictable (spelt wrong I think) weather anymore!
We are see-sawing here, too. However, it’s very cold now, so perhaps this last snowfall will remain. I guess that’s what I like about the mountainous regions – never a dull moment as far as weather. Yum – crepes and coffee – count me in, Christine!
Don’t put those winter boots away yet.
With those incredible temperature swings you’ve got to know that Mother Nature is just teasing you. But why not take advantage of that. Let me know when we’re meeting for coffe and crepes please.
Pansies all! Ha. I say this from the comfort of my warmed up living room.
a good hot cup of coffee is perfect when i see that snow you have and read how cold it is there. at least you had a heatwave to enjoy. happy to hear you were able to spend some time with your family. hope all is well.
