Montana is Green...

Montana is green … at least in June.

        Usually our snowy winters bring us very green, lush pastures in spring.  This winter was very mild but  God made up for it with some great spring rains.  You never know what Montana weather will bring, just wait a day and it will be different, yesterday was 90 and very sunny, today, much cooler, 63 and partly sunny.
       There is a bumper sticker that says Ranchers, the first environmentalists, because they are conservationists in general.  My motto is moderation.  We water in the early morning, about 5AM and late in the evening.  We use to flood irrigate but new advances make it much more efficient and keep the creeks and streams from flooding over.  They really do innovate, it's fun to see.
       Montana is so beautiful in June, look in any direction and you see green.  God's country, another bumper sticker is the truth.  The days are the longest, so everywhere you look it's green.  Even when spraying weeds or cutting hay, I watch for young, new life everywhere.  This is a baby fawn amongst the weeds, mom or the doe isn't far away.  God's beauty is endless and given to us forever.
      Have a wonderful, green summer and God Bless.
