The sunshine has finally found it's way into Montana and my thermometer out on the deck reads 52 degrees. I think the sun must have been shining on it just a bit. But it was warm enough for the puppy and I to take a nice long walk. It was hard to tell who enjoyed it more, me or the pup!

We ventured into the BIG city yesterday and I couldn't help but notice the "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS" banner along the way. What a shame. I just wonder what is in store for our own little town that doesn't have much but a few cafes, 2 gas station and one grocery store. Two hardware stores are fighting to get as many sales as they can. This is such a wonderful community that I worry what will become of it.
