Montana: not for weather sissies. Yesterday brought lots of weather drama to SW MT, when a series of severe thunderstorms tore through Bozeman and caused serious damage. Imagine, if you will, what lime-sized hail can do to glass windows. We were fortunate that our hood was not on the receiving end of the hail. Feeling sad for all those that were, especially our farmers whose crops were destroyed.

It never ceases to amaze me, the fury and glory of Mother Nature on display here, year-round. Yesterday evening, an intense double rainbow appeared behind our house, a welcome and calming sight after the storms ended.
