Spring is Gonna Get Here

We have had two days of warmer temps and sunshine. The grass is starting to green up and today on our walk we noticed these little wildflowers mixed in with the grass. Most of the snow around the house and in our pastures is gone but the mountains are still really white.

Yesterday we went into Big Timber to a huge yard sale and Michael didn't find any treasures to bring home--YEA! He ran some other errands while I met my friend Jill at Cinnabar Creek for a cup of coffee.

In the evening we went up the Boulder to the home of friends Peg and John for a quick look at their cabin remodel and a glass of wine. Peg and John had a home in Billings and used the cabin on the Boulder as a weekend retreat. A couple years ago the decision was made to move up here full time. The house is beautiful, Peg has great decorating taste and their architect did a superb job of making use of all the space, giving them lots of windows with which to enjoy the view.

The four of us then headed just up the lane to the home of friends Denny and Ellen, (they bought our 5th wheel and have a place in Seattle also). Steve & Jeane, Mark & Gemma and their new addition, a puppy named Osso were also part of the gathering. The associate pastor of Denny and Ellen's church, Michael and his wife Liz also joined us. Ellen made homemade pasta sauce and it was the best. The bread pudding with whiskey sauce wasn't so bad either!

It was a great evening with good friends.

Today we have puttered. I packed a few things in preparation for our trip to Moses Lake, WA tomorrow to pick up the new to us motorhome. Michael worked out in the garage, puttering and moved some dirt trying to protect the garage from any more catastrophes. I even managed to squeeze in a little quilting this afternoon. We intend to make like vegetables this evening!

Oh, my niece has a blog now, Our Side of The Grass.
