Farm FriendS: Poetry Recitation - Livingston, Montana

Ahem...(tap-tap) Is this thing on?
Okay. 
Today I will recite for you my FA-A-AVE-ourITE springtime poem.
Technically, it's still winter, but it feels pretty springy lately.
I feel pretty springy, so here goes!

"Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
But they don't get around
Like the dandelions do."
~Slim Acres (aka Harold A. Pickett, 1913-2009)

Thank you very much; it was a pleasure.
Maa-a-aaaah!

Last On The Summer Vine - Livingston, Montana

On a recent jaunt to Livingston, Montana, Big Sister #2 happened to be on weekend farm chore rotation at Montessori Island School, where she works. (Clarification: It is not on an island, but it does have a smattering of farm critters.) Thus, after Sunday morning church, we zipped across town to tend to the needs of the sheep (singular), goat, chickens, and varied vigorous vegetables. Actually, 'we' didn't tend to anything - I watched and took pictures while Sis did all the work. It was rather fascinating to see this former city girl in her element in a wee farmyard. Amazing what happens to people when they fall in love and move to live under the Big Sky. I've heard tell that even a short visit can forever change your views.

Long Weekend, Livingston, Montana

With the long weekend over, these playground trikes resting at Livingston’s
Montessori Island School will be brushed off and back to work by morning recess. And I’m sure that old kitchen pot in the background will make wonderful snow blocks for an igloo or some such.
