But Idaho has so much more to offer! Snowman! Snow Angels! Snowball fights! Ski slopes! Cool summers (compared to Texas summers) Beautiful scenery! And lets not forget a cup of hot chocolate in front of a fireplace, nice and toasty warm!

On the other hand, Texas heat is great practice if you've been bad in life and expect to go to He!!

Nice try Bay, but you can't wriggle out of Texas superiority, lol.
Multiple crops of corn! Wonderful sunshine! Friendly people! Beautiful scenery! No snow shovels! Beach sand even when you're not at the ocean!
Sunshine! And did I mention sunshine?

The pullets are busy in the garden, catching grasshoppers. Don't have cockroaches, but sure have battled them in other locations. HATE those things!

Idaho has high heating bills for 7 months of cold weather! Brown forests from bark beetle kills! Extreme fire danger! Short short growing season!
ummmmm.... we have to buy all our chicken feed!

Miss Thistlebloom,

This will give you an idea of what the weather is like in Texas and the rest of the South. (You're welcome.)

Don't forget the additional charm of humidity....

Um, Bay, are you trying to tell us something about yourself and your future?

Yes, that is correct -- water tubs with built in heaters to keep water from freezing.

I get by with a heated bucket for the 2 alpacas and a heated dog dish for the hens. Both have ambient temperature thermostats. Pretty much all I need to take down each day is about 2.5 gallons of water.

And poisonous snakes, don't forget those!

Those Southern Thing vids are funny! I just wasted spent a lot of minutes watching a bunch.

Bay, I've even been educating myself in case your great Texas sell job takes and I move down to be your neighbor!

@thistlebloom, when all those burned out Californians arrive in Idaho with insurance money in their hot little hands, buying up everything in sight, come on down to Texas. I'll buy you your own personal window unit. (that's an air conditioner)
