No Rush to Rise

Arliss under the covers

The Pacific Northwest weather has been nothing short of wet. Far Eastern Oregon (home of OwyheeStar) has moved to window-scraping weather in a blink of any eye. Hoses must be winterized with predictions of a twenty-degree low last night. That kind of cold means it takes some time to awaken and warm. This slower to warm up and move attitude is true of the earth as well as the critters that reside herein.

Arliss loves being snuggled in the warm bed. He sees no reason to hurry toward the inevitable. He is not alone. Snow in the mountains. We see it above Boise. The ski resorts will soon be opening. The snowmobiles are getting a tuneup in anticipation. By the way, some Weims have snowsuits.
