The Green Of It All

So here we are after the most lame winter 
of all time and just a couple weeks ago
it seemed there wasn't a leaf or blade of grass
on anything then suddenly like a monster
out of its cave ...Boom its green everywhere.

I remember a winter with 7 inches of snow
but it was cold as hell all that winter and 
some with running water had their source 
pipe freeze from their well and others were
in a mad frenzy trying to not freeze over.

Its the perils of trying to be civilized in 
The Last Frontier.
This isn't Oregon,heck it doesn't even get 
cold there but i see it all the time,people
come here and bring their lower 48 ways
with them only to be sucker punched by
the way we do things up here.

This last winter was really warm but our 
biggest city of 350 thousand was issuing
concerning warnings they were running
low on Natural Gas....People were just
burning the stuff real fast.

Saturday a friend came by with a real nice
gift of a small woodstove from his old place
that he moved out of and it just needs a good
scrubbing with a wire brush and some stove
black paint and a good cleaning but you know
what the best deal? It was FREE

So i go outside every day and no matter how
down a guy can feel,just looking at the greenery
all over my property...its everywhere like the
land has awoken and the Magick of Spring
and early summer is apparent everywhere.

So come this June its Sasquatch season again.
And a great time to rid my neighborhood of
thos pesky trespassers claiming "i thought 
it was abandoned"..........Its always the case.
Gotta fertilize those apple trees somehow.

Now with all the leaves blocking a view of
my cabin from the road i can go out in the
morning in my birthday suit and take a wizz
being mindful of my surroundings,Bears....
And they are in season too...

Peace, BigT
