Wind Chill Reprieve, Missoula, Montana

“Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.”
- Robert Green Ingersoll

Besides getting impatient to use today’s quotation, I decided to post this summer flash-back as a reprieve from sunny daytime temps hovering close to either side of 0 degrees Fahrenheit - before any wind-chill factor. And Missoula is not even the coldest pocket in Montana's mountains. I’m sure this is not what
Mr. Denver was talking about when he sang about a ‘Rocky Mountain High’.

I-90 Drive, Drummond, Montana

John Denver and EmmyLou Harris recorded a song that pops into my head when I see a sky like this. The lyrics include "Oh, Montana, give this child a home....give him a fire in his heart... a light in his eyes...the wild wind for a brother, and the wiiild Montana sky." At least, that's the way I remember it.
