Spring is trying REALLY HARD

Spring is trying REALLY hard to happen in Montana...but Old Man Winter just won't let go just yet! The weather has been unsettled and the forecast changes hourly it seems. I know that spring will happen; I just wish that it would hurry!

I was asked a couple of weeks ago to do a program for one of the women's groups here in town on gardening and flowers so yesterday I went out and started looking for plant materials to work with. It was exciting to go to the local nurseries and start looking a plants!!! I am going to work a program up on container gardening and proper plant selection for the group and I hope to put together two containers and give them out as door prizes! I originally thought of just doing my containers for my house, but it is still too cold to place containers outside...but within the next month, I will have started landscaping for the summer! I can't wait!

On a different note...tax day is quickly approaching and I hope that everyone has their taxes done. I would hate for anyone to miss out on the "Economic Stimulus Package" that the President signed in February (I wish that they would give me back ALL of my tax money). I finished my taxes last month, but I just filed yesterday so I will be getting my $600.00 check in May I hope (Northwest Airlines would like me to get my check as well)!

This past weekend, Danielle and I went to Billings and walked on the greenway that runs from the Billings Heights to 27th Street on the Southside and along the Yellowstone River. It was a nice escape for a little while. We then went to "Radio Hill" and watched the sunset over Hardin. Pictures can be found here.
