Montana fields and skies
Friday afternoon…squallish thunderstorms marched across the valley.
The wind was up…blowing in the wheat. It sounded like water in a rushing stream.
The light was perfect.

These boots were made for dog walking
It has been on the wet side here….
Wet grass,
Wet dog,
Wet hat, wet coat, wet boots.
Those boots! I have my friend Kris to thank for finding out about Bogs Boots. She bought a pair in the Fall…I’d been looking at them. This Fall I bought and returned 6 pairs of boots…kept 3 pair but it was the Bogs that I wore most. I put a pair of Uggs sheepskin insoles in them and wear the boots barefoot as I do my Uggs. And although I do the same with all 3 pair of winter/rain boots that I kept, it is these that are not only easy on/easy off but were warm at -10 and not uncomfortable now when I’m wearing them with shorts – that I wore and wear the most. They are tall enough to protect my legs from scratchy weeds and pokey downfall sticks and the soles have great traction whether on snow or wet grass and rocks.

It’s greening up
It rained most of Saturday, but the sun came out late afternoon and suddenly everything seemed much greener than just the day before.
The larch pine were sprouting their new needles…
And I saw my first lupin – 3 tiny ones…the largest only slightly larger than my thumb nail. And each holding a drop of rainwater.
It’s greening up.
Only in Montana
Where else do they work in fields in the snow…
Bob is mystified.
The rhubarb is under that snow somewhere.
All day.
State of the snow
On seeing the photo from the last post of the field and lake, Marge asked if the snow was mostly gone.
March 31…it seems like it was just early January and I was looking at the two and a half months of winter to go – thinking that spring seemed a long way off. And now, only hours until April 1.
In the valley and even at my house, 100 feet above the valley floor, there is more bare ground than snow.
On our loop walk, there are plenty of spots for a snow loving dog to walk and roll in…
The home woods ground and the driveway are clear with only the piles of snow from plowing and shovelling.
It has been mostly rainy and dreary – good weather for cozying up inside with a small fire going in the woodstove. It is not done snowing here, but it will snow and melt and snow and melt and the day is not far off when I may have to get out a rake and do something about pine needles, pine cones and sticks.
OMG!
OMG!!! 51 ??? in February???
Yowza!!
Not sunny at my house and my gauge says 47 but gosh, even 47 is a bit un-February-like!
Karl can’t believe it either.
Bob’s astonishment is short-lived…
