RAIN WON'T HURT THE KIDS

It wasn't a lot but it was a lot more than it has been,  that's for sure.  I headed for home early this morning from Great Falls just so I didn't miss out on driving in the rain and snow.  Can you believe it? I enjoyed the drive.  Fell in behind a couple of trucks and just motored along like I had the rest of my life to get home.

 

Yesterday I videoed cattle in the Valier area and let me tell you it was most unusual watching the sky bank up with clouds.  Clouds that looked like they had rain in them!  Even the weather man was pretty sure of himself and his predictions for moisture.  Was glad we started a little early and hustled all day even missing lunch to get done before the storm.  Well, before the storm but not before the wind storm before the storm.  Darn that temperature dropped fast when the front moved through.

 

Sure doesn't take a lot of rain to change attitudes after a summer from hell.  Talked to a couple of  cowmen at the Beef Council office who were grinning from ear to ear.  I offered to send them a bill for the rain and both said they'd gladly pay up.  Hope someone remembered to tell the school teachers to go ahead and let the kids out to plan in it at recess.  Rumor has it that rain won't hurt the kids.  Anyway, it was a refreshing change and darn sure needed to scrub the mud and gunk out of the sky and help soften up what little feed is left.  The ash and dust build up on my paito was about to take over.  Many prayers were answered today!
