Yes our sunroom looks North to The mountains near Canada and east to Glacier and the Flathead Range. It is kind of a 180 degree view of sunrise and sunset.
Katlin the plant on the right of the tree is a Rubber Tree and it blooms from end of October until Middle of January. This year is better than last and it is over 80 years old. It was my grandmothers, then my uncle had it and gave it to me over 20 years ago. I have pruned it a lot and now I prune only after blooming. The compost tea has made it a magical plant. I have often root pruned it to kind of make it a Bonsai.
Picante you must have a basement that pulls moisture out of the ground. Do you have an aquafur under you in town. I know that is common in E. MT because I had one in Great Falls that ran under my house. It caused a lot of settle issues with my foundation on my rental house. Though if you have a large amount of outside air coming you are pulling in all of that snow moisture.
This is the view up to Whitefish MT Ski area from the house.
