Why did I want to type in July instead of August for the date of this blog? Is it because summer is flying by and I want a do over on the last month?

    We have had some cold and rainy weather in the last week but supposed to be very hot the end of this week. The cold and rainy weather had terrible timing for our rafting trip - 3 days - on the North Fork. We were drenched and cold even with wet suits on. It was a cabin float so stayed in real beds the 2 nights out, Our guide, Dean, was awesome!! Made it as comfortable as possible. All the food was great. What a lot of work lugging all that stuff around. www.glacierguides.com is the place to go for rafting, guided backpacking in Glacier National Park, hikes, fly fishing, etc. Awesome company and great guides. Most guides return year after year, so a lot of experience there.

    It is fair week. We will pass on attending this year. Lots of other activities to choose from. Saw Alpine Theater Project's latest play Sunday. Fantastic as always. Whitefish attracts many Broadway performers for each play that they do in the summer.

    Working on shelter and fencing for dairy goats - just 2. A new farm land experience. Got 5 layer hens this week. Looking forward to my own eggs again. They are so much better than store bought. Molly the golden retriever is guarding them. Can't figure out if she wants to play with them, attack them, or mother them. Never leaves the coop though.

    Real Estate is picking up! 2-3 showings on my listings each day. Got an offer last week and one this week. Buyers are getting much more active and I am receiving many contacts a week through my web site. So encouraging!
