The calm before the storm

On a little trek to town and the green cans. I have the most coveted Marley in the front seat. This is good except now my car is full of fur. Again. So the short cut to the green cans is over Bachelor Grade. We have had a lot of rain recently so one can toodle along at 35 mph minding the gravel of course. No dust . It is fabulous. But I was thinking as I was coming home that I even like the dust in Montana. Even if you have to go 20 mph. So we have one of the seasonal up and down ponds on the way. Gorgeous bring you to tears teal waters. Well I was about to think the weather people had missed their mark when they forcasted the storm of the century. It is now gray again and clouding up . Rumor has it that we will have rain, hail and winds to 50 mph just because a storm is brewing off the Pacific. Fragile plants inside,check. The most coveted Marley inside, check. Car in the garage to prevent hail damage. Check. I will let you know what happens.
