Winter has returned to Montana — it’s been three days of cold, dank weather with low grey skies. Now the heat wave we got in the early part of March was as little scary — it’s not supposed to be in the mid-70s that early, and it was alarming to have to break out the sprinklers. But this, well, it’s completely expected, not a surprise, and yet … sigh. We’re all ready for some blue skies, some sunshine, for the fruit trees to start filling town with pretty flowers …. in the meantime, we’ll have to settle for daffodils in the snow …

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.
