I just love going outside, even just for a minute! The sound of bird songs fill the air, lifting my mood…
Bluebirds…
King Fisher…
Wild Turkeys flying over the farm…
Bald Eagle flying over the farm….
A hawk of some sort…
Mating season for the wild turkeys and some pretty good displays by the toms…
A Meadowlark…
A colorful bunch of Crossbills on naked limbs and a dreary day…
Enjoy your spring day!

We’ve had some cool, cloudy, rainy days this week. As I drove past the Aspen grove alongside our driveway, I noticed they’re were fuzzy catkins…
And raindrops, reflecting the tops of the trees above them…
The fuzzies up close…
A beautiful rainy day…
We had beautiful, sun-filled days with gorgeous sunsets while we were in SoCAL…
At home it dumped about 20 inches of snow, so we were welcomed home with this…
Shaking feels so good…
Water trough is almost buried…
The last couple of days have been a bit pea-soupish around here…
It leaves some nice frosty crystals on everything, including the echinacea in the garden…

Last night we had pouring rain and 40 degrees, sometime in the night it changed to snow and wind. This morning it was brisk -30 degrees Fahrenheit! I don’t mind the cold or snow but sure get hard on critters when we have wet conditions and then gets really cold. I was happy to see every one fared the night alright and were anxiously awaiting breakfast this morning…
Teigen feeding Thor…
Even though he has a cozy little place to hide out in, Thor has to hang out with his guys…
Horse raspberries…
Waiting for breakfast…
Frank’s a bit frosty too…
Hayden giving Frank some love…
Hauling bales…
At least some one is happy outside…
The sun even tried to break through…
The kids found our adventure through Olympic Park very fascinating, they loved finding all sorts of mushrooms and knew to only look but not touch. I, however, found it difficult to take pictures in pouring down rain! 🙂 I ended up using a large zip-lock bag around my camera but found it impossible to know where I was focusing or to really adjust any settings, anyway here a few of the mushrooms we spotted. I’ll break them up over a couple of posts throughout a couple of weeks…
P.S. my camera lived through it too!

We had a bit of wind and rain on our trip, while we were at Ecola State Park…

The temperatures have dropped and we have had a few killing freezes already in northwest Montana. A few flowers are still doing well though….
Most of the leaves here are still green but some of the shrubs are starting to change….
A handsome Meadowlark caught in a downpour at The National Bison Range…
Even though it was raining up where we were, here’s the view below…
