Gardening

That it snowed here last night. Flurries at my elevation but there's snow on the ground about a thousand feet higher up. It might get up to +60F today but the heat wave returns starting tomorrow. I'm glad I put down straw in the garden, everything is holding up well, we had no frost, only got down to +36F. Supposed to be the same tonight, some of the higher mountain passes were closed this morning.

All this while the rivers are pretty high, once the heat returns, could be a problem when all that snow comes down and we get a little more rain. Two years ago we had a thousand year flood that closed Yellowstone and caused the park to build a new north entrance road.

Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, it's hot soup for lunch.

Stay cool as you can and have a nice cucumber salad or something like that.
