So, here in south central Montana, winter was an extremely long one...or at least it seemed like it. Mild weather through January made the especially cold and snowy February and March seem like it would never ever end. March was still doing its 'in like a lion" thing as recently as last week. I was keeping my fingers crossed that the lion would miraculously change into a lamb prior to months end.
It worked! Today, March 31, is clear, sunny, slightly breezy and almost 60 degrees. For us Montanans, 60 is quite balmy.
As in, people are wearing shorts and flip-flops. No coats. Walking their dog. Mowing their lawns and all the other things that come
with spring-like weather.
My furry partner in crime, Maggie, and I have lazed away these last couple of months reading, napping, doing a little painting and
waiting very impatiently for the nice weather to arrive. We cherish our time outside, walking around the yard, checking the flower
beds and garden for tiny green shoots of life and chasing anything that happens to get caught in the breeze -- leaves, bugs, or whatever - for the love of the chase.
My mood has improved, my anticipation of some road trips to take photos and clearing out and organizing my painting space have all happened courtesy of the sunshine and warmer weather.
I'm ready to make some updates to the website. And, I'm ready to get on with enjoying our beautiful spring weather. Stay tuned.
I'll be sharing what's happening with you right here on the blog.
