Well, would you look at that… the clocks are about to spring forward, which means we’ll all be just a little more tired and a whole lot happier about the extra daylight.

If you’ve caught yourself lingering outside a bit longer lately, you’re not alone. Winter seems to have misplaced our address this year, and honestly, nobody’s in a hurry to remind it.

St. Patty’s Day is right around the corner, so expect to see a little more green around town, maybe even in a few coffee cups. The trails are calling, the rims are looking mighty inviting, and it’s prime time for a good hike before mud season decides to make things interesting.

So lace up those boots, soak up that sunshine, and let’s enjoy this sweet little head start on spring. If this is what March looks like in Billings, we’ll take it.
