The weather was spectacular yesterday morning for the annual fourth of July parade in Ennis, Montana.  As you can tell cars are parked for blocks and blocks.  People line both sides of main street to celebrate our independence and enjoy the fun and colorful parade.  Some travel from as far away as Florida for the festivities that normally include a rodeo in Ennis and evening fireworks in nearby Virginia City, Montana.

Dry conditions along with multiple fires in the state caused a ban or fireworks.  So, no show in VC.  But, that did not seem to stop folks from keeping up their annual tradition of celebrating their holiday here.

By the time the afternoon rolled around it was in the high eighties and low nineties.  This morning we woke to a solid cloud cover, scattered showers and temperatures in the forties with highs in the sixties.  The cooler weather was a welcome relief to those of us without air conditioning.
