Actually they were here about a week ago, but it's my first capture. Many more to come, of course :)

Morning

Spring-Like

It's here.
The birds are here. The snow is gone. There's actually sunshine (I'm not holding my breath, mind you), and it's almost 50 degrees. The horses are happy, the cats are insane, and I see bulbs appearing in the garden. I guess it's here.

Of course, I never rule out that snow could show it's head at anytime, and.... it still goes to freezing or below at night. I'm okay with that.

It's really incredible, to me anyway, the difference in this house when the weather finally improves. No grey, no rain, no mud. Well..there's still mud. Lost of it. But I have sunshine in my windows and they're even open. It's nice. I might even sit out on the deck this afternoon.

I've heard of bear sightings, but none around here just yet. The Robins are here. The deer are changing color. It's that time when you see all the outside cleaning projects, raking projects, repairs. Of course, as soon as I start any of that, it will cloud up and snow :)
I've even put away all the coats, gloves, hats and boots. It's converse time.

A store in Thompson Falls put my cards in their store. This is very cool for me, it's the one store I really wanted. They only sell Montana items, so I'm hoping they'll do well.
I have two other stores with them, lost one other when they closed. I've been wanting to put them on my website, but I just don't have that talent to work with the site like I need to. One day. Or, I might just pay someone.

We're on the list for a new 'brock' puppy. We'll have a new Bernese in a few months. Oh lordy, will that be fun training :)

Grey & Grey

Wow.. everyone still here?
I haven't forgotten about this place, just haven't felt there's much to write about.

We've had the mildest Winter this year since I've been here. I think the most we've had at one time was 5-6 inches.
I'm kinda bummed over it, as I really love the snow and beauty of it all. I'm not asking for the 5-6ft we had last year, but I would've liked more. No sledding or cross-country this year.
On top of that it's just been grey and grey. Foggy, cold, and grey. We've had very few days of sunshine and it just starts to wear on ya. I'm ready for Spring to just get here so we can start the gardens and the new wildlife shows up.

Maybe then I'll have more to post about :)

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas :)

Great Start for December
