Good morning,                                                     9:30AM
 
It’s currently 43 degrees – cloudy, wet and windy. Our high for yesterday was 43 degrees, with an overnight low of 36.

The warm glow of the kitchen created a stark contrast with the world outside. Good coffee and flavorful spices would greet me when I returned from my morning rounds. I admired the scene, put on my jacket, and trudged out of the kitchen.

​Walking up the mountain, I pondered the strength of mother nature. The wind howled – like it had done for the last 12 hours. Even the mature trees wagged back and forth in the wind’s fury. There was a unique beauty in the wild wind. I appreciated the scene and wondered what the world might look like just above this grey windstorm. Entertaining the thought, I made for the lodge…
 
…the thought of coffee encroached on my mind.
 
Onward,
Seth
