To say this past summer was a bit out of the ordinary would be a huge understatement. Our summer weather never really came until somewhere around mid-July and I believe we only had one day in the Flathead Valley that broke 90 degrees. With all the late Spring rain we didn’t even get the garden planted til June. However with all oddities in the weather I probably had one of the best summers to date. So much fly fishing, hiking, going to the lake with the family, we never had a moment that wasn’t full of outdoor activity. We took of advantage of everything Montana has to offer.
Alas, it had to end and last night we covered the tomatoes and picked the rest of the pumpkins for the freezing temperatures finally came. The days are getting noticeably shorter and archery season is already into its last week here in Montana. I know I have said it before, and yes the Fall is my favorite time of year but I do like a little heat. Living in Montana one depends on the 10-12 weeks of summer heat to carry us through the rest of the year. But hey, complaining is silly and the know-it-alls at the weather department say we are gonna get slammed with snow. Better get the skis “mounted and waxed”! Bring it on Winter.
