NW Montana and autumn is upon us. Today cold, rain and cloud cover. Amazing that our garden, which was planted late, is still producing: bell peppers, cucumbers and some squash. Ahh, the wonders and joy of a bountiful harvest - all naturally grown.

Columbia Falls, MT 32 annual Heritage Days celebration. Bicycled to town. Watched the parade down Nucleus Ave (main street). Lot of remodeled fancy cars, tractors, horses. Met a touring bicyclist, fully loaded panniers front & back. Bicycled from Chicago, going to Seattle, WA. Heading to Glacier NP today. Directed him to my favorite cafe for lunch: Whistle Stop. Repaired a broken electric fence around our garden this morning. It keeps the deer from eating the produce! I am truly blessed to be living just 15 miles from Glacier NP in a most beautiful geographic area. God is good all the time. All the time God is good. Ed

Finished the drip irrigation system on a new market garden. Crops growing well. Antlered white tail deer in north field, which are very striking against the green alfalfa. We, wife and I spent weekend with very good friends from Wesley Foundation, Univ. of Montana, 45 years of relationships. Wonderful. Truly joyful to know these people and continue as if nothing has separated us during these years.
