Looking west from my front yard to the Bitterroot Mountains. Can't do any better than this because the mail carrier sent my 3-day express package - my camera from Olympia - back to Olympia because I don't live here anymore. Never dawned on her I might be visiting. Soooo, no camera; it will go home to Minden when Susan gets it back. Should give me a refund, don't you think?
I made it this morning to the Hamilton Farmer's Market. Not using my head, I didn't get a picture with the tablet of the amazing vegetables, homemade breads and gorgeous flowers from around here. Most of the farms in the valley are organic. Should have seen the artichokes they grow up here! Start in February in the greenhouse. The folks from Dixon, Montana were there, thank goodness, with their Dixon melons of all kinds. I bought a cantelope to take to Bud and Nancy and she ordered a few tomatoes. The tomatoes in Salmon are struggling this year. I love this farmer's market. Such an assortment of things for sale; from veggies to jewelry to honey to huckleberries at $45.00 a pound!!!! Probably worth it not to fight off the bears for them.
The mountains down south from Hamilton around Darby are starting to really sock back in with smoke because there is a fire up the west fork of the Bitterroot River. In fact, the road is closed and the fire is working its way toward Darby. I will stay in Darby tonight at an old rv park but leave tomorrow. I sure don't want to get too close to that fire. Most, if not all, of these fires are lightning started with the rain the other day.
