Went steelhead fishing yesterday. We tried to go to the Grande Ronde river in Washington, but it had ice flows in it. We then drove down to the Snake on the Washington-Idaho border, but were unsuccessful there. It really lets you know you're alive when you're standing waist deep in a river on an eighteen degree day.
It's supposed to be even colder the next couple of days. Single digit lows with 30 mile an hour winds. We have some repairs to do on the chicken coop to make it snugger. We'll be wishing we had done that a few weeks ago.
Mostly, we'll be putting up the Christmas tree today. Warm and snug with the stove cranking.

Hey there. My name is Nick and wanted to let you know that you have a new reader. I am out in the Shenandoah valley in VA, working towards greater self-suffiency. I found your blog via the Backwoods Home Magazine forum.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts and homesteading ways with the rest of us. Your work is edifying and inspiring.
Peace,

Beautiful part of the country Nick. I haven't been out that way for years though.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I tried to head out west, but as far as I got was the Blue Ridge. :)
