Spring is Here! (at least on the ground)



Well, I'm satisfied that Spring is here. I've not had a chance to hike for a couple of weeks and we finally managed to head out today for a couple of hours. I was pleasantly surprised to find buttercups flowering in numerous places along the trail.


This harbinger of Spring in western Montana is a welcome sight after the rather long, bleak winter we've had here. Combine this wonderful find with the bountiful Bluebirds, Western Meadowlarks, and chittering Robins, and it was clear that Spring is finally here.
