"Spring" in Montana?

It was snowing here just a week ago. Today it is supposed to be 88 degrees. Don't know how I am going to like it. 88 is much more easy to deal with if you've warmed up to it, so to speak, as opposed to going from early-spring weather right into mid-summer temps. It's kind of like the frog in the boiling pot of water analogy. Mike's working in eastern Montana this week where it will likely hit 100. His crews got snowed out of this area less than two weeks ago. Roads in and out of some towns were actually closed due to snow. People said Utah weather was unpredictable - they haven't lived in Montana.

I am just happy spring is finally here. I am itching to get my garden planted and I love seeing leaves on the trees in my yard. I am also looking forward to teaching Piper an appreciation of flowers.

Montana summers are intense, but fleeting. I better start enjoying it now before it snows again.
