Ready for Spring

March is nearly over here in big sky country, but spring has yet to get settled in. It seems like each time spring gets its foot in the door, winter comes over and stomps on it. We were blessed with mid-50 temps here a week ago, now it's below freezing. The same thing happened a few weeks ago. I'm honestly not sure what to make of it.

In spite of all this, I have still started my seedlings indoors. I made a colorful yarn wreath, filled my bird feeders, painted a lovely picture of rolling hills covered with flowers, and baked sugar cookies in the shape of flowers. I'm trying to will spring to come, because I'm ready to be outside. My skin is dry and pasty white; it needs to feel the sun's warmth. I long for green in my garden. I'm very curious if the apple trees in my yard will be beautiful. I'm also looking forward to exploring my town when the weather is fine, when there's time to linger and enjoy discovering a new place, instead of hurrying in from the cold.

Anyway, guys, I'm hoping to get some more pics up soon of what we're up to around here. Stay warm, friends, and repeat after me: winter won't be around forever.
