Hurricane season starts June 1

Hurricane season is from June 1 through November 30. When we lived in the Florida Keys we sweated out the hurricanes, watching the storms that formed off the coast of Africa, hoping they would bypass the US east coast. We hope this season is uneventful for those of you on the eastern and southern gulf coast.

In keeping with the season, we had high winds today. Montana is known for severe afternoon thunderstorms and June 1 has brought us our first blustery day. It didn't rain on June 1 (though it was forecast), but we had winds from sun-up and continuing through the night. In fact, high winds and showers are expected to continue through the week. The winds blew at about 30 mph all day long! We knew when we woke up that it would be too windy to enjoy fishing. Fishing in the rain can be great, but the wind can be brutal. The high temperature today was about 56 and the low overnight will be about 40. We have weather!

We spent the day enjoying our warm, cozy motorhome. We have all the comforts of any home. We listened to music, read, Rick tied, I worked on a project, and then we worked a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. We both love to do puzzles and once we start we don't stop until finished. This was an abstract painting of flowers and 13 hummingbirds. I brought enough puzzles to keep us busy all summer, but we might get them all done this week.
