Three good things happened yesterday. The Trout was outside early in the morning talking to the neighbors when two large, mature bald eagles swept by overhead. The wingspan of the two of them together was unbelievable. It was the closest I have ever been to an eagle. One flew away immediately, and the other one, below, sat for a while. While the photo is definitely of so-so quality, it was very exciting.
I have tried to convince the Trout for the last year or two to get away from the trout stream long enough so that we could enjoy a round of Montana golf. Yesterday was a perfect day. The view from the course was beautiful. Below you see the Anaconda smelter stack and the Pintler's in the background.
Oh yes, I had a lot of fun. We discussed hearing that a golf ball travels further at a higher altitude. I can't say that I proved that to be right, (ha ha), but we did enjoy the day.
And then, the last excitement of the day was when we stopped in Anaconda and it was market day. The Hutterite colony nearby comes into town to sell their goods on Thursday. We bought this loaf of bread below. It was so tall I had to take a picture. Great for sandwiches, toast and I am even imagining French toast and bread pudding as we near the end of it.
