Well to finish the title of this blog: You know you live in Idaho when a patient comes in and names there daughter PALIN. 
Random fact of the day: Sarah Palin is from Sandpoint, Idaho

I am not sure what this mystery growth is in the backyard, but if anyone has an idea I would appreciate the input. I debate whether or not to call it a fruit or a vegetable. The leaves were growing and spreading when we first moved in. Originally I thought it was a pumpkin plant, and it even had yellow blossoms just like a pumpkin plant. Out of the entire garden only two of the blossoms turned into an actual growth. They are both very different in shape and size. We are probably just going to have to cut them open and discover what mystery is growing in our backyard for ourselves.
Look at the little one 
The giant "growth"
The entire garden in our backyard with only two blooms that produced
Happy gardening!
So last week I had the most amazing encounter on my way home from the mall. Now I must preface this story with the fact that when I moved to Idaho I knew hunting was a big deal for many who live here, but I have never seen the "products" of it.
I was on an onramp onto the freeway and beginning to merge when I looked over my shoulder and saw a large truck coming up. I let them pass me but just as they were alongside of me I saw a dead moose looking me in the eyes!!!!! Apparently they had been enjoying a week out in the wilderness and thought this guy would make for a good dinner or wall decoration. I am not sure but it took me the couple miles I had to travel behind them to regain my composure. I have come to the conclusion that this is just not that uncommon of a sighting here in rural Boise, Idaho.
Happy Hunting!!!!
