Winter

The last 4 weeks have been filled with illness. Seems we are haveing some sort of epidemic here in Calhoun county. Each time we get over some version of the flu, another round hits. Of course the unseasonably warm weather seems to have everything out of whack. It rained last night! Hard rain…this is February for crying out loud, it’s not suppose to rain. I’ve been in the north for 10 years now and this has been the warmest winter so far. But, it has not been that nice. It warms up to 40 to 50F for two days and then shifts back to 10 to 20F for 4 or 5 days. Just enough to keep you off guard. And the mud! Living on a dirt road is the pits! Or perhaps I should say the ruts! Each time it warms up the road turns to mud. The melt water from the hills use the road as a ditch. Our cars are so beautiful…not! You just sort of wallow down the road and pray you do not get bogged down or stuck. Perhaps 4WD is in order.
Well, that should be enough Northern Cheer for now…stay warm. Michael
