I had to put on a new roof last year due to hail. Someone suggested I put on a metal roof as it would have a 50 year warranty and last forever basically. I asked why? I am 61 and will be dead before I need a new roof. Some things are just no longer worth the cost.
I am still interested in planting trees, but more so tomato plants, so fewer perennials, and more annuals.
I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love.... It seems to me that Montana is a great splash of grandeur....the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans. Montana has a spell on me. It is grandeur and warmth. Of all the states it is my favorite and my love.
