Snow is finally melting in the valley, both Mission and Seeley-Swan.  Spring is but 10 days away! Already the forest animals are stirring.  Flocks of turkeys, Canada geese, and raptors are out and about setting up nests and territories.  Spring has a lot to offer in the coming weeks.  It is time to bring in the bird feeders and check the trail cams for evidence of bears, foxes, mountain lions.  

I am looking forward to see all of the bulbs planted in the fall break the surface of the soil...and especially the snowdrops.  I have never planted them before, so we will see what happens!  Other delights are flowering dogwood, sand cherry, multiple azaleas-pink, tangerine and yellow.  Beds are filled with orange, pink, red and yellow tulips, purple allium, daffodils. April and May should put on a great show!

I look forward to seeing the Glacier Lily pop up in the Barney Yard too!

Winter was long.  Winter was a challenge. Who would have thought that Covid would morph into War.

The Garden is Peace.  I wish everyone could have a garden to go to.
