very proud to have raised a cat who isn’t afraid of thunder (she used to get scared in the first couple months after I adopted her)
ears still perk up when she hears the louder rumbles but there is no fear in her eyes

On Monday I had the joy of hiking up to Upper Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park. Started off with a boat ride across Two Medicine Lake followed by a 5 mile round trip that included Twin Falls.

I feel so lucky right now, we’re supposed to be clouded over tomorrow and I was so disappointed but the CME came early can gave us overhead auroras and now I have like 50 photos to sort through
I’m so filled with joy right now

okay so guess who showed up super early
1002 km/sec this thing is screaming fast good grief 😮
So start looking up now. Can’t say how strong the auroras will get tonight but there’s a chance we’ll see an uptick here in an hour or two
