In between the storms

... we've had an hour or two of spring.

I have tried to get hollyhocks established for years. I think they finally took.

 Even the weeds are pretty.

 You can tell there was no wind.

 Blue sky.

 Cottonwood leaves.

 Elms... and elm seeds everywhere in my pool.

 Huge coleus leaves.

 We'll see how far the ivy climbs this summer.

 I may have to do some marigold dyeing again.

 The chives are going to pop any day.

Montana's got nothin' on our Big Sky.
