Haha let me give you your first 12 blog posts
June, OMG this is great, the weather is in the 70's and everything is green
July, man so much space and so few people, the weather is warming up but we are still setting up and we love this. On a side note, where the hell did all these grasshoppers come from?
August, hotter than a fire cracker and dry, oh so dry, mosquitos are the size of horse flys and OMG the horse flys live up to their name!! Prairie fire north of us and the water shortage is a pain in the ass, good thing we drilled that well
September, the sunrise was beautiful today, sighted in my gun for antelope season and started a brush fire, had 412 Californians stop by today asking for hunting permission, fixed 4 spots in the wire where they just cut through and drove around.
October, finally general season is here, I shot the biggest buck I have ever seen on opening day, turned out to be a dorky forky (2 points per side) , man he sure looked bigger in the scope! Had a nice dusting of snow, wife and I cuddled on the fronts porch sipping brandy.
November, really? 10 below before thanksgiving? The good news is we can keep out beer cold on the back porch! Days are down to 10 hours of daylight and the chickens quit laying (the 3 that survives the coyote attack). Shoveled snow for about a week straight, good exercise! Been elk hunting 15 days straight with no luck, I saw so many I the fall, I think they migrated.
December, spent most of the first week keeping the road open to the county road, my God will it ever stop snowing? my wife says if we don't get out of this god forsaken place she is going to cap me, went to the Lewiston movie theatre and saw the only movie showing, Man FromSnowy River.
January, did hell really freeze over? sorry for the late post the lines were down for several days and it turns out nobody cares. The wife is on "vacation" with her mother in Florida, I told her i misses her on the phone and she laughed. 22 days with the temperature below zero, that patch job I did on the snow plow didn't work so well, maybe next month I'll get to town.
February, wife is still gone, turns out the airport is still closed but I'm starting to wonder. Actually the weather broke this month and is over 30 degrees, damn I can't find my short sleeve shirts. Good news, the beer finally thawed!
March, I'm almost out of food, the gumbo is impassible and I have been stuck at the house for weeks. The wife made it Lewiston but saw the spring storm and went back to Florida.
April, snow is gone, mud continues to be a problem, the creek went flood stage and took out the chicken coop and my last 3 chickens, I really miss that hen "Molly". April 28th WTF 14" of snow and down below 20 degrees!!! So much for the garden.
May, on my third garden now, after that second freak storm the hail stones got the other. Actually this is the best weather of the year so far, nights in the 40's and the days I the 70's, it just might be worth it.
