Quilting and Spring Flowers

A dreary depressing day in Montana—cool, windy, spitting rain all day, just yuck.  And now the weather gurus are forecasting a winter storm warning—hasn’t anyone told them it is spring???

I made a batch of Gina’s taco soup since it felt like winter around here and a loaf of homemade bread to go with it for lunch. 

Almost finished Shirley’s quilt before we decided to go to town to get some filters for various vehicles around here—Michael is on an oil changing kick.

We drove out to Denny and Ellen’s new place where they are building a house just missing them but getting to chat with Larry and Mark for a while.  Emmi was very put out cause I wouldn’t let her out of the jeep—Mark has a McNab cow dog, Oso, that is a little rambunctious and Larry has a Dalmatian named Johnny.—thought it best that the little one of the bunch remain in the jeep. 

Stopped by Kelly and Bonnie’s new venture—the local greenhouse and left a few dollars bringing home some spring in the form of petunias and various other flowers.  Got some herbs, too.  I have planted petunia seeds for the first time ever, we will see it they survive.  I also planted various herbs but it will be a long time before they are ready to use!

She was not fond of her Carhart coat this morning.

Thanks Al for the Picasa hint about the graduated tint!

And that’s it for another day in Montana.
