Spring Continues...MT and MD

Well, after a LOOOOOOONG winter, I believe that we have finally entered spring here in Montana for good. I'm letting myself believe that we won't have any more cold weather. I went around town the other day and took some pictures of the plants and flowers in bloom so if you are interested in flowers, look here.

I also just got back from a conference in Baltimore, MD. The weather was great all week, not too hot or humid...apparently it is very hot there today (but now I am back in Montana so they can keep their humidity)! I had never been to Baltimore prior to this trip and I have to say that I enjoyed myself more than I thought that I would. It is still a big city that I would never want to live in or visit for an extended period, but it was nice for a couple of days. The Inner Harbor was nice...and touristy; the aquarium was neat; and Mt. Vernon was fun. I wish that I had gotten to see Fort McHenry while I was there, but I didn't have time. Pictures from Baltimore can be found here.

Spring has sprung...FINALLY!!!

I got out on Friday last week and went to visit some producers in Lodge Grass. Apparently everyone thought that it was a good day to be out because I didn't find anyone at home, but I did enjoy the ride and I took a few pictures of the spring green-up here in the area. It did rain a little on Friday, but I thought that the spring rain storm was kind of pretty so I took some pictures of the approaching rain as well. Pictures from spring in Montana can be found here.

Post 100!!!

Well, here it is...post 100!!! If this were a television show, I would make this the season finale and have some sort of cliff hanger ending that would leave you on the edge of your seat. Alas, this is only what is happening in my life and really isn't all that exciting some times...come to think of it, that is exactly like television.

Since my last update; Mom and Dad came out to Montana for a visit and I have finished school for the summer! The visit by the parentals was fun and I got to show them some of what I love about Montana (we didn't get to go to Glacier). I took them to Yellowstone Park (and yes, some of the park is in Montana), down to Big Horn Canyon, around some of the farming areas in the county, out to the Big Horn River (one of the prettiest rivers in the world as far as I'm concerned), and generally just had an enjoyable visit. Now I can settle in for a busy spring and summer with many exciting Extension programs scheduled for this month and next, the exchange and fair in July, and then the best part...Banff in August!!! I can hardly wait to be in the Canadian Rockies! Pictures from Yellowstone in April can be found here.
