So far I've been really enjoying my first Montana adventure. Bozeman is a gorgeous place, and it's been fun just getting lost around town and exploring. I'm pretty much on my own during the days, since V works an absurd amount, but the relaxing pace and total lack of schedule has been a welcome break. I've had what could be considered an unhealthy amount of coffee, but there are just so many cute coffee shops that I can't pass up. Also, there are some fabulous yarn shops that I'm trying not to spend too much time in, but budget schmudget, I can't imagine I'm leaving without some new fiber to play with.
On Saturday we drove out to Paradise Valley, which was great fun. Sitting on the rocks by the river was delightful, I don't think I could ever get bored of just listening to the sound of water. The fall leaves were dancing in the current, and I found myself getting a little mesmerized by it all. We saw some deer in a field as we were leaving (it was nice to see some live wildlife - we passed lots of roadkill on the way, including a moose!), and in another bit of nature that never gets old to me, watched them bound across the field in that graceful way they have. Here are a few more pics...
This morning I went on a short hike up to 'The M', and found a great bench overlooking town to plant myself on for a while. Getting out into nature to read, write, knit and think is pretty much the most perfect way I can imagine to spend time alone, and it's been an ideal mix of the solitary time and hanging out with folks. Everyone I've met here is absolutely fantastic, and it's been so great to spend time with V and some of his friends, and I'm looking forward to Adrienne's arrival tomorrow (I hope - she never does travel without 'adventure') and reuniting with she and SB. Awesome, awesome break.
