Day 1
I was in Bozeman a couple years ago when the sun shone in winter. It was such an odd thing that I grabbed my camera and did a loop around town with my brother Allen -- past Gallatin Gateway early, then around Gooch Hill, down Sourdough Road, out Bridger Canyon, and over Jackson Creek and back into town.

Day 1
What a wondrous day! In the midst of our grief and sadness over the death of our "Third Musketeer" -- our 20-year-old cat Leesha who traveled with us everywhere -- we found beauty and comfort as we continued this journey with Leesha's spirit.
We arrived to visit dear friends Randy and Sue in Lakeside, Montana, on Sunday, 19 Sept. We drove to Lakeside through the misty wet forests full of clouds, and a rainbow appeared over Flathead Lake. And then another, and each had a double! Four rainbows appearing and disappearing and reappearing in the mist. Rainbows touching Earth in the forest, on the shore, and even out in the lake. "Leesha," we said to each other. "She loved visiting up here."
That evening her spirit greeted us full force when we opened the cabin door at our friends' house. Leesha on the bed, Leesha on the carpet in front of the big window, Leesha playing with the toy our lovely hostess always had ready for her. Her joy was palpable, and we couldn't help but smile through our tears.
We saw a rainbow over the lake every day we were in Lakeside!
The morning of the 22nd was still rainy and misty when we departed Lakeside...
