Weather, etc.

The waning “super moon” greeted us on this morning’s first outing.

Overnight dew turned into ground mist as the sun rose.

A beautiful, cool morning…

Bear stood watch on Beardog Point after our perimeter walk.

Bob took the front door duty after he walked down the driveway with me. Although we started another round of a combo medication – just to be sure we beat the bugs – Bob is very close to 100% back to normal Bob. Hoo-rah!!

We took extra time outside this morning – for a work day… after a wonderful run of cool weather with overnight rain and some daytime showers, a sudden jump into summer and heat is forecast.

I looked at NOAA yesterday afternoon.

Hazardous Weather Outlook ???? … for sunshine ???

No, for heat. Not just heat, historic heat!! See, I am not the only heat wimp in Montana :) !

***Colorado West Fork Complex. I guess because no structures have been lost, i.e. there is not enough drama for this fire to continue to make the news despite the fact that there are 1400 people working it with no containment yet and continued extreme fire behavior. It is good news that no structures have been lost and people like my folks are VERY grateful for the effort. My folks are still evacuated – their home is on the edge of South Fork, CO which is closest to the north east border of the largest fire. The fire is still spotting up to a mile away and also doing some crown runs. A bulldozed fire line which is being continually monitored and widened sits between their house and the fire. Firefighters have also been able to protect Wolf Creek ski area, numerous cabins and other small resorts. It is still a matter of weather but there is some hope that things will be calm enough to allow access this coming weekend.
