Three Years in Montana

As of May 1st, Desiree has been here in Montana for three years. In that time, she’s experienced temperatures as low as -40°F, unearthed dinosaur bones, spooked a grizzly bear out of a huckleberry patch, and become the only person I know to catch a brook trout on her very first creek-fishing cast.

Adapting to Montana’s intemperate weather is no small feat, but Desiree has done so with ease—if not grace. In celebration of her three-year Montana milestone, I’m sharing a quintessential Montana moment: a photograph of Desiree posing with a snowman she made early this spring.

Yep. She’s wearing shorts.
