Time is getting short in Montana

This is my last week in Montana this summer. It's still warm but you can feel fall in the air. Last week we hiked to Tongue Mountain in the Jewel Basin. The Glacier Lillies were abundant so you know the snow there had just melted. It was incredible to see them this late in the season.











This is looking down on Blackfoot Lake.

Having too much fun in Montana!







I haven't blogged all summer until now because there is too much outdoor stuff to do in summer up here in Montana. I also have not been in a beading mood but I have been knitting. I am doing my first ever Knit-A-Long from knittingdaily.com. We are doing the Bella Blouse by Norah Gaughan. If I like the way it turns out, I will post a photo. I'm anxious to finish it for two reasons: one, I want to take it with me to Italy (leaving Sept. 11th) and two, I have more knitting projects I'm dying to start.


So it's been a summer with much hiking and kayaking. I'll include a couple of photos of those activties.
