This is looking down at the neighbors set of corrals that I was supposed to help brand at on Monday...He has cows and calves now on both sides of the creek- and it could be 2-3 weeks before the creek is low enough to get everything back together....This is Willow Creek, about 2 miles up the creek (southwest) from my place... This Creek drains a large area of the country out in the Missouri Breaks area...

More water coming from as far as you can see..
Looking down the creek toward where it dumps into the Milk River...Doing a good job irrigating some pasture and some Blue Joint hayfields...The normal creekbed is about 20 feet deep and 20 feet wide at the top...
While I was looking at the creek I was being looked at by a family of little fox that were living in the strawstack on top the hill...
This is Cherry Creek that drains in from the north (runs right thru a 1/2 section of deeded land I have in the middle of the community pasture )This may be the reason that Plan B of moving to a neighbors up north to brand on Monday may never come to be--especially with the radar showing more thunderstorms moving in tonight and the weather boys predicting an 80% chance of rain tomorrow....
