It's a cat's life

Monty stirs on a Sunday morning

Charles spends time with Patch

Wesley finds a comfortable lap

Each of the parsonage kitties, two indoors and one outdoors, are enjoying the warmer, drier weather we've had this weekend. I know Patch in particular appreciates longer visits from Charles each day!

Spring is well and truly here

An apple tree on Pine Street

Tending the church lawn with the mountains covered in snow

It has been nice to see the trees in our neighborhood slowly leafing out. There is still a good deal of snow on the mountains and that will likely remain into the summer.

St. George's Day

Spring in the Valley

Spring day

 What a delightful spring day in the Bitterroot Valley!!!

Stevensville's Easter

Easter Sunrise service facing St. Mary's Peak

Easter worship service at Stevensville UMC

 I wasn't up to going to the Easter Day services, but Belinda tells me it was wonderful. Maybe next year!

The work has just begun

Belinda was the first to mow the parsonage lawn this year, getting in a nice turn before Easter!

Leaving Stevensville, one crosses the Bitterroot River which runs the length of Ravalli County.

Parsonage in bloom

We have had several blooms in the days leading up to Easter in the parsonage flower beds.

No fooling!
