Three photos taken earlier today of our town after almost 5 days of Spring rain showers. Top photo shows the trees in front of the court house becoming green again after Winter.

















Middle photo shows the low rainy clouds that started out the day. Photo shows the towns clock tower, tops of some old brick buildings in town and highway 95/2 going North from the drop down into old town since it sits almost right on the river.
















And lastly looking East at low clouds and rain out towards Katka Mountain, in the clouds. Although no wind at the time, it has since gotten VERY windy with showers outside with the flags all standing straight out including the giant one in the photo that is at the Library. A more winter in most areas 48 degrees outside too!


















Stacy's the "big cheese" now. Jackie was in for about an hour this morning and got the last of her things and said her good byes, for now. Officially, Stacy still isn't the boss until midnight tonight. She's in her 'new' office cleaning up and seeing how she might change and rearrange things next week.
An interesting thing will be happening tomorrow night, several of Stacy's probationers wanted to attend the High School Prom tomorrow night. The Principal only gave the OK if Stacy would be there too to keep an eye on those kids. So we're going to the Prom to be with the security. It has been a pretty good joke with several of the court employees, going to the Prom and all. But I'm certain it will be interesting to see. I never went when I was in school, way too shy back then to have a girlfriend or even consider asking anybody to it. So, we'll see what happens.

Life in a Northern Town, In Winter

So, here we are, early in 2018. While our area gets cold, we don't get the  really cold, the cold of Montana and eastward. Where we are, in North Idaho, 30 miles from Canada, we are in a bowl of a valley. That's why we wind up with mostly overcast days in the winter. We are also pretty well protected from the strong blizzard kinds of winds and the weather patterns that are causing the conditions in Montana eastward, a parked high-pressure system that steers that super cold weather up and over this area and into Montana and eastward. We are into, what is usually some of the coldest weather of the year for this area, for a normal year! When was the last of those, normal years, thanks to climate change, whether from natural cycles or what's been changed by human expansion? Anyway, since before Christmas the area has been lows in the 8 to 10-degree (F) range (-13 C to -12 C) with highs in the upper teens to low 20's (-6 C or so). As mentioned the last post, we'd

Yeah!! The Elections are over!!! For now.....

Yes we're sure glad the elections are over, that is a really good thing. But we're even more happy that they're over because of the CONSTANT commercials on TV and the, seemed like, every night calls at home. With the stretched out length of this election "season" (as it was referred to on many programs!), and with those increasingly annoying TV adds and calls to sway votes, we quit answering the phone all together, were really bad and lasted so much longer this time around. And with our ability to see regional TV from other locations in the US and Canada, what we didn't see for more local stuff, we saw the same kinds of things for those areas instead. It was interesting at times, and thoughts of how things could have changed if the actual election had been held earlier with the rush of pro Palin, or if Obama had chosen Hillary instead of Biden, just so many things this time around had potential for some serious changes to the outcome! But we've got what

Other things from the past week

Hornets, Yellow jackets, and Wasps, a very, very bad year this year for them around here!  And not just in our area but most of North Idaho from what we've found out. In fact when Stacy stopped at Wal Mart to buy some new bait for our traps, Wal Mart was sold out and across the street at Home Depot, she was lucky to get there when a new shipment of traps and bait was being opened. She was told by the clerk that their shipments have been selling out in less than a day and as quick as a half hour as so many people are having problems with the bugs! And hospital and doctor visits have increased dramatically too due to stings according to the news. It has been both hotter and dryer than normal locally this summer so mosquitoes were way down, a very good thing!  But now in late August when the "skitos" would be low anyway, the Hornets, Yellow Jackets and Wasps, and yes we have all three types on our place!, have been going crazy quietly building nests all over the
