Finally, we get a decent snow on the ground here in Helena. There’s been a good 12-18″ of snow during the past week, most of it still on the ground, what hasn’t blown off. We’re supposed to reach close to freezing tomorrow before another 6-10″ hits us with temps dropping 20-25 below zero. And oddly enough, I guess it’s still novel enough to me that I’m just fine with having the snow and cold around!



This winter has had far more sunny and clear days compared to back home in the South. And I am alright with that! It spurred a little Spring cleaning in the office yesterday. These three items ended up on my desk and there’s a story behind them all.
The award is from my trip to D.C. last December. The buckle is a recent award from the ‘I Love Farmers’ advocacy award earlier this month. But the duck call. I’ll let you stew on that to figure out the story behind it. I’ll give you a hint though. Instead of staying “Duck Commander” on it, the print says “Beef Commander”. That story coming up soon.
