Frozen River, Frozen Face

Another day where the high was less than 10 degrees. The river is beginning to freeze over again. Snowing all day. Winter has been with us for almost two months and there are no signs of it letting up. I've been told winter can last through the middle of May and it's not uncommon for it to snow in June. I hope not. I'm craving sunshine, warm weather, shorts, flip flops and riding around town on a cruiser bike filling the front basket with provisions from the Saturday market. Despite the cold, ice and snow covered streets and dark sunless days, Missoula is starting to feel like home. Tonight we stopped by the Missoula Art Museum for an after work cocktail hour and a quick preview of the upcoming art auction. So much fun...
