I'm going to get down to the real reason I started this blog, birds, music, and gardening.  I guess these are my passions.  First of all music because I have been involved in music most of my life.  I taught in the public school system for twenty years and even when not teaching I sang in choirs, a barbershop quartet, and started a children's choir.  I also played in community bands, a recorder consort, and several different jazz groups.  Music and children have been my life.

Howdy from Montana

Howdy,  I am going to try this again.  I keep posting and nothing happens.  I got so angry one day I called my Dr. and yelled at him.  Don't ask me how posting frustrations ended up with my Dr. but it did.  I'll tell you that story another day.  I just want to introduce myself.  I am a northwest Ohio girl living in a small mountain town in Montana.  I LOVE MONTANA!    I have lived in western Montana for 35 years so I feel more Montanan that Ohioan.  I love the mountains instead of the corn fields and I usually don't mind the mega feet of snow or the sub zero temperatures just as long as I get to garden three months out of the year.  That's right gardening is one of my passions along with music and bird thus my book, IT'S A BIRD IT'S ME.  I will get into that  later too.  Well here it goes let's see if this gets published.
