Yes, it’s only mid-May, but it sure feels like summer already!  As I write this, at 4:30 in the afternoon, it’s 86 degrees in the shade.  Our average max temperature for Ovando in May is 63 degrees.  Missoula yesterday hit 90 degrees, breaking a record set in 1905.  The animals, of course, love the warm, sunny mornings … here’s blind and deaf Spinner, sleeping on a cot by our back door in the morning sun … but by early afternoon they are ready for a nap indoors!

For a lot of reasons — drought, fire season, pasture grass — we need a return to cool, wet weather as soon as possible.
