True to Montana weather traditions, we had some wonderful days in the 70's followed by a lovely spring snowstorm. Last week when it was so nice, we started to think about our garden this year. We have decided to move it from where we had it in the past. It just wasn't doing well where it was. It wasn't getting enough sun through all the trees, and I have a feeling the trees were competing for all the water. So we are moving it out into our yard where it will get great sun exposure but will have a little protection from the back fence on some other trees that won't overpower it. On Sunday, we went to mom and dads to borrow the rototiller. Tim plowed us a nice little plot, and we are anxious to start planting!
Today has been filled with snow. All day. The birds have been flocking like crazy. They keep flying around over the house landing in one spot, then the other. Until today, I had only seen one yellow-headed black bird, but now there are well over a hundred! And there are tons of robins and meadowlarks and others milling about. They've been fun to watch all day. And they are quite chatty as well. Probably trying to get me to go out and fill their feeders!
