Remarkable scenery and my friend Patty (accompanied by sister Patti in the backseat driver’s seat) pulled over at least once for me to snap a picture as she drove me from Billings to Sheridan after my flight from California. Good thing, however, that we didn’t LINGER long–

The skies were spectacular but frightening as we could see the storm building up in front of us.

Can you see the tension in my friend Patty’s fists gripping the wheel as we try to outrun the storm?

Although we didn’t entirely miss the storm, we did escape the worst of it. Minutes after we passed, this area was deluged by hail. Patty’s new car would not have fared well. She at least speculated that she wouldn’t have to water her garden when she got home, but alas….

When we got closer to Sheridan, we learned that in fact no rain had fallen there.
In lieu of rain, We saw this good boy patiently waiting for his master to come back to his big rig.

I bet it feels good to be back in Sheridan. Hello to the two Ps. Hope Patty’s garden is still flourishing in spite of missing the rain. Have fun girls!

I’ll take pix. She planted all along the major roadway behind her house–on other side of her fence…just to beautify her town. xo

My family is from Montana. My mom was born in Hardin and what’s left of my family is in Billings. I’ve been going up there since I was born. I would have moved there, but the winter days are so short and even Billings wasn’t affordable with my income — but the San Luis Valley of Colorado rivals Montana for the big sky. Last time I drove that road was 2010 and I’m going back in August. Can’t wait!

Just talked to an old cowboy in Walmart who had a ranch in Hardin and who was 2 times a rodeo champion–had one of his prize belt buckles on, shined up bright.Small world.
