In Montana, May is the official ramp-up for summer. Wildflowers are in bloom, the grass turns green, the days continue to lengthen, and the chance of winter weather making an appearance diminishes by the day — hopefully. Graduation ceremonies and Memorial Day weekend have arrived, and it seems summer is off to the races. The month of May is also Wildfire Awareness Month, recognized across the U.S. and declared as such in Montana through a proclamation by Governor Gianforte.
