Hey What Happened To Spring

Well, if you don’t like Montana weather, stick around it will change quickly!  Yesterday was a perfect weather day, today it got plumb hot as we say in the south!!! 

After yesterday’s wonderful trip we had planned to take it easy today.  On the agenda although was going over to Lonn’s to move the mini-excavator for him.  The little machine was located over on the backside of the ranch at the cabins and pond.  The drive over to the ranch is beautiful and the drive up and over the mountain to the backside is spectacular. The wildflowers are everywhere in full, beautiful bloom.

Rollie even got to experience driving the little excavator—doesn’t he look like a pro??

But then the real pro took over for loading it into the trailer--

These are the two cabins—isn’t that the most beautiful of spots??

We left Lonn and LoraLee’s taking a short detour up the West Boulder Road and then headed home.  A quick lunch of ham sandwiches then Gina and I started quilting lessons.  While Michael and I were in Louisiana visiting them in late December Gina and I went to a quilt store, purchasing a pattern and fabric for a set of placemats.  Plans were to make those placemats in the desert this past winter but life intervened and Gina and Rollie had to head back to Louisiana earlier than expected.  So, today was the day.

Michael and Rollie spent the afternoon solving the world’s problems and discussing solar, oil production, etc.  So, we all had a very productive afternoon.  Emmi slept!

Rollie and Gina treated us to dinner tonight making crawfish etouffee that was simply delicious!  The crawfish came frozen in Gina’s luggage all the way from Houston!  We enjoyed the crawfish etouffee with rice, salad and homemade bread, YUM!!!  We all with the exception of Rollie enjoyed various combinations of cream cheese pound cake, strawberries and ice cream for dessert. 

Another great day with great friends.
