I have been a BAAAAD girl!! 10 days without an update! Well, I guess I have a lot to catch you up on.

Biggest news by far is our new puppy. We adopted Shay from the Palouse Humane Society. She’s a 7-month old Chow mix and is just about the sweetest thing there is. She thinks she’s a lapdog, but she’s already as big as Max, so it could be interesting. She also thinks the middle of the bed belongs to her, and her ALONE. Mike has fun working his way under the covers at night. :) They told us she wasn’t housebroken, but so far so good. Max likes having a playmate, too.

We also bought a tiller the same day. Mike’s been messing around with it, getting to know how it works and stuff. As far as I can tell, it works just fine. Makes nice, plantable, soft soil. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem to get our garden in the ground after the wedding. We’ve also been doing some wo...

First Trip to Moscow

Today we drove over to Moscow. That was about our last major sight-seeing trip planned for this area. Moscow is just BARELY inside of Idaho, and it’s the “big” town around here. It has a Wal-Mart, Staples, a mall, several fast food joints, a 24-hour grocery store, and the purported “Most Interesting Store in Idaho”. I forget the name of it, but that slogan was too much for Mike to resist, so we stopped. No lie, they were holding a turkey-calling class. Standing room only. We looked around; it’s basically an outdoorsy haveny fishing-and-hunting-and-stuff-like-thaty kind of place. I was interested to note that they had horse tack. :) No western riding saddles, though; only English. We bought a bunch of stuff from the Wal-Mart, including my hard-fought-for pressure cooker! I can now can vegetables. And don’t think I won’t!!

Before that, we did some work outdoors. Clearing brush is ...

Hike to the Palouse

We woke up this morning to snow. About a half-inch to an inch fell last night, and it was covering everything by the time morning rolled around. Of course, by now it’s all melted away and it’s warmed up enough out there that it was uncomfortable to wear a coat. I found that out as we took another long walk today. This one really was a long walk. We drove the truck down as far as where the road/trail crosses our creek, then we walked all the way down to the Palouse River. All told, it was about a mile to a mile and a half. Not flat, either — it was rugged cliffs and game trails. The way back was almost completely uphill. We didn’t see any deer this time, but we did see lots of pheasant. We also found the owl that normally roosts in our barn. He “walked” along with us. We saw him twice. Snuggles went along, too. She didn’t think much of the riding-in-the-truck part, but she handled it pretty well.

Today I got a feel for just how m...
