Blizzard of 2008
Monday, December 22nd, 2008
We just experienced over 14 days of straight snowfall. Some days we’d get a dusting while others would bring a foot or more…this all prior to the official blizzard even happening. At last count, which we kept by watching how many cables on our front deck railing disappeared, only three remain, which translates to roughly [...]

I’ve always been a fan of tight canyon type creeks, especially when they’re filled with the clearest, [...]
Say hello to Cooper!

We picked up our new best buddy this past Friday from the breeder in Scapoose, Oregon. Cooper is a Parsons Terrier and should grow to approximately 15″ tall. Parsons were bred for fox hunting where chasing the fox down holes was necessary. Needless to say they need to be extremely brave and able to run [...]

La Nina once again has landed a snow filled punch. This time delivering big at the lower elevations as we’ve been enduring cold Canadian air.
