This winter has been the longest, coldest, snowiest winter I can remember. This winter`s first snow storm was on October 26th, two days before my birthday. Today, at the beginning of April, there is still a good blanket of snow covering people`s yards. In total, we have had five solid months of winter. I only went snowboarding once this winter and it was so cold we could only make it down the hill three or four times before we had to head to the chalet to warm up. With the late arrival of spring, I will finally get a chance to go hunting and fishing. Since we have been getting some warmer weather, the shelf of snow on the edge of the river is slowly melting which means that the rivers will soon be fishable. My Dad and I are looking forward to hunting and turkey season opens on April 25th. I am looking forward to getting my new compound bow out. This bow was given to me at Christmas by my Oma and Opa. I would like to have the chance to shoot a turkey before my Dad does! Finally, we are going to be opening our cottage as soon as the snow has melted. My cottage not winterized so it`s closed for the winter. BY this time last year, the cottage was already open and we were heading there on as many weekends as we could. Over the winter I feel like I am cooped up in the house. I can`t wait to get to the cottage to enjoy nature`s beauty, some relaxing and quality time with my parents.
This sounds awesome! I agree about how long this winter has been. It was so cold that we couldn't even really enjoy it. I'm very ready for spring and then summer because I'm also looking forward to getting back outside. Question: what's a compound bow and why would you use that kind to hunt turkey?
I love fishing too, I agree that this winter has been so long. Yesterday I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt and one day later I am wearing a winter coat. I really want to try going hunting but I am an animal lover so I don't know if I would be able to. Good job describing everything, you made me feel like I was there. Where is your cottage?
