And for a landscape that looks a little less arid than Frenchman Coulee, here’s our yard, overwhelmed with cherry blossoms at the moment.

And the garden looking good. We’ve been running frost-free for a month strong now, but everything pictured is pretty cold tolerant anyway (kale, onions, radishes, beets etc.). What’s the patch of re-seeded missing lawn in the background you say? That’s where the dogs ran out the side door to pee all winter long. The minimum distance from the warmth of the house possible. I have a feeling this reseeding will be a yearly spring occurrence.
