Its not called Big Sky Country for nothing

Seriously, look how gorgeous this is!



Before heading down to Yellowstone I spent a day in Bozeman Montana and visited the Museum of the Rockies.  I had primarily wanted to go because it had a huge collection of dinosaurs and I'm a huge dino geek.  When I got there though I was interested to see a homestead site complete with garden!



Poppies!  I'm not even remotely a country girl but this makes me want to build a split-rail fence and grow a whole field of wild flowers.



Here is a better view of the vegetable garden.  They clearly take really good care of it.  I didn't see one weed.  And the straw paths were pristine even with all the museum visitors tromping through all day.  I spent quite a while just walking through the garden which prompted my boyfriend to remark "I spend a lot more time in gardens since meeting you".  Guilty!



I love how mad these chickens look.  Like "Back off lady.  We can't be bothered with you and your silly camera".
