11-13. Greetings to all my readers and special thank you to the veterans past and present! Our freedoms are something that we take for granted, but these men and women have fought for them! Thank...

Let me just go on record right now, this changing time kicks my butt! I did remember to change my clocks, but my brain takes more time to change. Many cattle trucks have been traveling on the...

Autumn is here for sure, or is it winter? The high temperature has been in the sixties or fifties, with the lows in the teens and low twenties. The wind blew so hard that all the leaves blew off the...

Can you believe it? I’m in Arizona for a few days and reporting from my brother’s home. It is cool in the mornings and then it heats up to the low 90’s for the afternoon! Debbie Richau traveled...

Wow! This will be a September to remember! Lots of snow, wind, rain and pretty much a mess for the ranchers and farmers! The snow was so wet and heavy that it broke two branches off my trees! It made...

What a week of summer weather! High temps and plenty of wind! And even at night, it didn't cool down much. But that is what summer is in Montana! Only one night of warm temps and that may be more noti...

Oh, the wonderful variation of weather in Montana! One day this week I'm sure the temperature was over 100 degrees, windy, and just miserable to me. But then the next day was in the low 80’s, still...

Much of the hay barley has been swathed and huge bales are being dropped in the fields as the farmers store up the feed for winter use. To me, it looks like a great year, if the swathes can get baled...

Just the typical summer days for this week, hot, high temps in the 90’s then afternoon or evening storms that don't last long but still make me worry! Today for instance, I was driving back from...
