The birds were really gathering and now there doesn't seem to be so many around so they must have moved south. This has been such fall weather lately----first roasting us out, then cold. The nights have been really cold but not quite frost yet--it's coming though. Some of the smoke and haze from the fires have finally reached here--some said it is noticeable on the highway in the morning. High winds and rain in the southern part of the state have helped to move it out. This last week has seen th...
The weather has been very hot all week with quite chilly nights. Everything is getting very dry---the gardens need watering more often again. They are getting harvested slowly tho so will not need it much longer. There has been one case of COVID 19 tested positive in Dodson now. Dolores Shettel stopped at Dora Henry's to visit for a short time this week. The school had the two wooden storage sheds next to the track torn down and hauled away this week. Looks sort of bare there now. Time is...
Things are still pretty quiet around town — they had a meeting and decided to start school the day after Labor Day so should be some activity around then. Sorry to read of all the COVID-19 cases in Phillips County when we were one of the few counties that did not have any reported cases. Get well wishes are sent to the people that tested positive for it and I hope there will not be many more cases showing up. Velma Broadhead returned home after visiting in Joliet. Roger Henry and wife Jackie o...
We had about a week of very hot weather but it has cooled down some but we have not had rain. The nights are getting quite cold and feeling like fall. Grasshoppers are a problem in part of the county, hard on some of the crops and hay that has been cut. So far our yards have not suffered heavily. Sympathy is extended to all those who have been stricken with the COVID 19 virus. We hope more people keep recovering from it and it does not spread heavily in Phillips County or anywhere else in...
We have been experiencing some very hot weather and the weather map looks like it is to continue for at least another week. We did have a little rain last Thursday that cooled it for a very short time. People from away from here had asked about grasshoppers as they have been bad in some places. I had not noticed many here but yesterday while picking raspberries I found lots in the bushes. Hope they do not get too bad before harvests are done. Velyma Broadhead and Dora picked raspberries and...
Tim and Heidi Solberg and two children and Nathan Solberg were here this week to help their mother with things. They were in church with Polly on Sunday. It rained again on Friday night but we missed with the harder storm a couple of days earlier and different places reported hail in places with it. Gardens are just starting to produce, I have enjoyed strawberries twice so far. The community was sad to hear of the passing of former superintendent Nellie Sherman on the 30th of June. She was a...
We have had some more nice rains again this week and it is raining slightly this morning as I write this. It sure has been keeping things green and gardens are growing well. Linda and Ray Vulk, daughter and son-in-law of Dora Henry, were in a bad car accident in Helena on Sunday evening, both being taken to Benefis in Great Falls, Linda by ambulance, and Ray by air-vac. Linda suffered a brain injury and was not too badly hurt but Ray suffered intensive injuries and will require intensive...
Graveside services for lifelong resident Edward Solberg will be Saturday, May 30, at 2 p.m. The whole community sends condolences to Polly and the entire Solberg family in the death of Edward. Condolences are also sent to the family of the former Misty Munsinger in her passing. The many little showers we have been having over the past week have really been keeping things green. Thank heaven we missed the hail that part of the state had. I cannot even imagine hail from 2" to 4" in diameter....
Well the time for schools to start on their summer vacations is here and most of the schools were already closed because of the Coronavirus, so everyone was more or less prepared. The Dodson graduation was postponed to a later date this summer, so hopefully can have it at that time. Work is being scheduled to begin on the new bus barn to hold the school's new busses. It will be built near the school on the old Chezik property. I understand the planned school reunion has been cancelled---maybe...
We have been really been enjoying some warm spring days although the wind always seems to blow every day. We have always had a lot of wind but not every day! Every thing is still very quiet around town as all seem to be still being very careful and isolating themselves even if some places are opening up a little again. Terri Cole has been delivering lunches from the center on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and has made several trips to Malta for things. Polly Solberg is still helping at Eva Bruckners i...
We have had two small rain showers that have made things look so much greener --looks like spring has finally decided to join us. Now if we could just cut down on the wind every day! Willard Mortenson has been moved and is getting therapy so we are hoping it will not be too long till he can come home again. His address is St. John's Lutheran Home TCN Room 17 3940 Rimrock Road Billings, MT 59102 if anyone would like to send him a card. We all send continued to get well wishes. Steve Cole and...
Everything is still very quiet around Dodson as people are obeying the stay home edict. The weather has been warmer all week and is forecasted warmer for the next week and it is nice to see the lawns turning greener every day. Some gardens are starting to be planted and more flowers are showing through. We trimmed plum trees and there were a lot of buds so there should be blossoms soon. We see more birds every day and a lot of them are robins, and grackles (who are not quite so welcome). Get...
The weather man has promised us a few days of warmer weather and it has been a little nicer except we have still been having wind every day. So what's new in Montana. Gardens are being tilled and flowers are starting to come up--- my garden was still too wet, there was such a snowdrift on it all winter. Condolences and well wishes are sent to long time resident, farmer friend, Willard Mortenson who fell and broke his hip this week. Everyone sends Willard prayers and well wishes for a speedy...
Everything is still locked down and everyone is staying home and away from contact with other people. There is hardly any traffic on the streets. Hope everyone had a nice Easter, even if it was a lonely one and friends and family had to be greeted by phone. The day itself was strange as we had cold with a wind, then a small snow squall and then sunshine and warmth. In working in our yards we have found new growth in flowers coming under the leaves and debris so nature is trying to tell us...
Greetings to all for this Easter season although we can not get together with each other and celebrate with hugs and the good feelings times like Easter foster when we see family and friends.

It is Palm Sunday as I write this, and I send you all greetings and Blessings for Good Friday and Easter Sunday! Prayers are with you for you all to stay in good health and that the Coronavirus epidemic...
Dora Henry and Polly Solberg were in Havre on Monday for a medical appointment. They took some things to Bill and Marilyn Henry and it was also the anniversary of Becky Henry's birthday. It snowed a little more and turned cold although the sun did make it out later. The wind has blown a lot all week. School has been closed as is all the public schools in Montana for at least two weeks. Take home lunches are being offered to all students needing them during this time. Restaurants, Bars and...
Polly Solberg and Dora Henry attended the Seed Show at Harlem on Friday. There were not as many entries as usual as people called in and canceled because of the storm expected. It snowed some on Friday night and then snowed almost all day on Saturday from the East with a strong east wind pushing it. Miserable and cold again! This is turning into a very long winter. Both of the Church's called off services on Sunday due to the weather and the cold, blowing and drifting. People are all voicing...
I hope everyone remembered to turn their clocks ahead on Sunday! At least it's daylight now. Monday was overcast — 25 degrees and the wind was blowing of course. There was an open town meeting held on Monday evening on the work that is needed to be done on the town's sewer lagoon. Representatives from Great West Engineering and Bear Paw explained the impact as we are in the 100-year floodplain and/or wet-land. The Town has secured a grant to do most of the work needed but an increase of a h...
We have been experiencing warm temperatures and sun in the afternoons that have really been taking the snow away. Some nights are still pretty cool and we are hoping for no more snow. Last week I had several Blue Jays in my pine trees and they stayed for several days. I usually don't get more than one or two at a time. I have not seen hardly any small birds all winter, but my son told me after I saw the Jays the little ones would come. They did and today I had quite a collection in the trees....
Robbie Bear and Glen Dolphay were again digging the waterline at the old Haubrick place in west Dodson which had still been leaking for some time. Pretty cold job this week as the temps were down and the wind was blowing. I had a little problem breaking through the frost at first. Gwen Ereaux is home again — with her broken leg. We all wish her well with her recovery. Snow and colder hit us again on Saturday morning, giving us close to an inch of new snow. Our nephew Danny Henry passed away i...
Richard Gilmore is home for a while after getting treatment in Billings. He must go back the first part of February for more tests or treatment. The community sends Richard the best and prayers are with him for continued recovery. We have been having some slow melting all this week. More and more ground is showing thru and the hills are all brown again, except for some coulees, the snow on them is pretty well gone. There is lots of water standing around town. Kay Taylor celebrated her birthday...
After several days of slight melting and thawing it turned cold again on Saturday night so when we woke up on Sunday morning, after a light rain, it was very slick and hard to walk. It was rough from the melting and easy to slip everywhere. This week is supposed to be warm again so maybe we can get rid of some more of the snow. Gwen Ereaux fell at her home and broke her leg badly in at least three places. Get well wishes are sent to Gwen as she recuperates. The kids played some hard-fought...
Jessie James Hawley died this week at Harlem with siblings and family at her side. Jessie was special and will be missed. Terri Cole was in Malta for a Library meeting on Tuesday. Nellie Sherman, former superintendent at Dodson, suffered two minor strokes after surgery in Butte, followed by a harder stroke on Friday but is recuperating. She will be moved to a rehab unit in Great Falls by family where she has a daughter and son-in law to visit her and cry for her. She also has a sister in Great...
Dodson defeated the Roy/Winifred basketball team in a fast-played game on Friday evening with a score I believe of 59 to 48. It was a good game — Congratulations Dodson players. Dora Henry attended a COA meeting in Malta on Wednesday. A good lunch was served out at the Wathatu Center on Wednesday, but the sad news is, Kay announced she is ready to retire. It turned colder on Sunday and was snowing for half the day. Here again, the bad news is it's supposed to keep getting worse. Tuesday has b...
