Frickin' flies are coming out of dormancy. Poor horse was stomping and swishing his tail. Fly spray in December is just wrong.

Yeah no one is building a snow pack that's for sure.

Seasonal daytime highs here are 41. Our overnight lows are higher than that with daytime highs in the mid to upper 60s. My petunias are still blooming.

Just finished season 2. What a bizarre ending. Throughout this season there were 2 stories happening simultaneously then one ended and the other took over and it was very dark with an unfinished finale.

If I had one complaint about this series it's that they do a poor job of introducing...
