Spring is late....more snow last night, but thankfully not much. Our summer are getting shorter and winters longer. We only have a window of about 14 weekends to go camping and enjoy the outdoors....weather permitting. We are inundated with mosquitoes and we get a lot of wind, much more than I remember growing up.
We don't seem to get as many song birds in our neighborhood anymore as the crows are taking over. I have read that if you have a large crow population there must be lots of garbage for them to be feeding on. I think there should open season on crow hunting.
Sounds rather depressing doesn't it?
At least the sun is shining today :)

Two seasons only!
We no longer have two seasons....just winter and if we are lucky, a couple weeks of mosquito infested summer. If this is a result of global warming I am certainly willing to do my part to reverse things.
We just watched "No Impact Man". What a depressing movie. This family went from living a life of opulence to living like homeless street people. Those of us who live in rural areas of North America do not face the same difficulties. We garden, we know how to cook rather than live on take out, we hunt and fish, buy local organic produce, chicken and beef from local farms. We grow things that we can freeze and can, pick berries to make wine....the possibilities are endless. We may live in a land of rednecks, but thankfully we didn't grow up in NY city.
