Snow and more Snow

We were awakened by my Mom with her loud exclamation of surprise when she saw all the snow this morning. There was about two inches early and by 11am, we had about 4 inches. It all began to melt as the temperature rose through the day but as I write this, it has been snowing for a while and we have another 3 inches on the deck rail.
The snow makes for some excellent bird watching, the birds have almost eaten 4 full feeders of birdseed. I know it makes for good moisture but dang it--it is May 9 and supposed to be spring.
Mom and I took a quick trip over to a neighboring town of Livingston, MT to do a little grocery shopping and other shopping. Our grocery store here in Big Timber is a little lacking at times. Michael took the mini-excavator into town and started digging the footings for his Dad's garage.
