Winter isn’t over yet

Robin trying to stay warm
It’s been a long winter in Montana. It started snowing in October and it’s still snowing at the end of April. This morning I heard the dreaded “winter storm warning” on the radio again and cringed. Fortunately, I am now the proud owner of a full-spectrum lamp that helps mimic the sun, but it hasn’t banished cabin fever completely. The cats are antsy. I’m antsy. And all I can say is that if it doesn’t end soon I’m moving south. For good.
My parents live on a ranch in northern Montana and today they bore the full brunt of the latest winter storm. My mom said they are supposed to get another 12 inches by tomorrow. Good Lord! In the midst of it all, she took some amazing photographs that I’d like to share with you. Please enjoy a little winter beauty in spring.
