All in all, last week was a busy one. I got Metra Park Ag Committee meetings, Angus tour golf scrambles, Grandson football games, Cousin weddings, and a host of other projects behind me and looking forward to the first week of fall in Big Sky Country.
I hope the weather man doesn't changes horses overnight and leave us in stirrup high snow banks like some Octobers I've known. This eighty and ninety degree weather makes for getting a lot of fall work done but in most areas a little fall moisture would be welcome. I was lucky enough to be teamed up with Bill Davis of Rollin' Rock Angus and a couple of young long ball hitters for the Montana Angus Tour golf tournament (Yvonne Hinman may have had something to do with the draw) and Bill was telling us about the five inches of rain his ranch received during the month of August. Some people just live right...and for an old guy he hits a darn good golf shot too! He and I agreed, the beer cart drivers were often times about as distant as an ex wife's affection. Slow beer carts? I am thinking by design, as Yvonne was riding shotgun on the beer cart and Jennifer's team was only a hole away. We were under surveillance and restriction the whole time and didn't realize we could have so much fun at a semi-dry event. However, Docotr's orders were to stay hydrated on sunny days so no wonder we're both showing a few wrinkles.
As mentioned earlier, unseasonal warm temperatures this time of year make me a little nervous. I hope God's weather plan for the livestock sector is acceptable but just for good measure let me leave you with a quote from my good friend Kristi Pettis Osterlund, that tends to soothe my weather forcast thoughts. "It's OK to have butterflies as long as they fly in formation".
