How the west was wet

• There are still times,like the last 45 days when you have to wonder why in the world anyone would live here...........YES, DAMN IT I AM SPEAKING OF THAT FOUR LETTER WORD AGAIN!RAIN and even more to come....IT IS JUST NOT YUCKKIE it is causing rather large problems in the yard, or should we now just call the south east corner LAKE HALLEY. I of Halleyville am now distraught over the mildew that I am certain will start to appear on the horses and alpacas. John has promised that we will be moving starting in late spring back to the dry home we left just over a year ago. If we just had thought that the cruel world would pour up on us the wet reality. I can think of few things that would make us stay.In fact at this moment I can think of absolutely nothing that would keep us here. Don't get me wrong, but I can think of many reasons that we can not stay as well as a dozen reason to go back home.
  REASONS TO LEAVE:
  1) Rain, dah
• 2) Traffic, I-5 at 20 mph
  3) Wetlands
  4) Housing developments
  5) People who can't help speed past our house
  6) lack of sunshine
  7) wearing hip gaiters to feed horses
  8) web feet don't fit into cowboy boots
  9) because john is miserable
  10) because Temera loves him
  11) mold and mildew on saddles
  12) boot dryers are mandatory
  13) wet slimy mice from fresh kills are hard to pick up
  14) because mud covered horses look awful
  
  Reasons to go to Wenatchee:
  
  1) horses & alpacas stay dry
  2) Sunshine
  3) Friends like Steve as well as many others
  4) Fresh air
  5) low traffic level 9 cars is a considered rush hour traffic
  6) feed for animals is half the price
  7) dust is easier to get off boots than mud
  8) you can BBQ all year long
  9) red peppers grow in your garden without a green house
  10) apricots and peaches to can and make jam like you've never tasted.
  11) snowman making from snow is easier that make rain ducks out of rain
  12) the taco shacks on the corners make the best quick stops for lunch
  13) people do not look at you funny when you have feed decorating your long main of hair
  14) cowboy boots are work boots not a fashion trend
  15) arthritis is far less painful
  16) saddles will not mold in the barn
  17)AG supply knows what irrigation parts are for
  18) PUD bills are 1/4 the cost
  19) you rarely heat the house in July
  20) dinner parties are informal and fun
  21) you can air dry delicates and coats outside 10 out of 12 month's
  22) when cats kill mice they are dry and you can toss them into trash
  23) you can brush horses clean
  24) painting the house you know will dry
  
  Things that will be missed:
  
  1) Del Fox Meats
  2) friends
  3) farm fresh veggies, best corn on the cob ever
  4) Eagles and Hawks
