@ 11 am. I’m not even bothering to jot the temperature down from the apps today. All the apps are saying different things and they all feel wrong. But the new weather station is arriving today. So things should get a lot more accurate. I got my watering done for the garden, attempting to giveContinueContinue reading “Feels hot and humid.”

Live Wire and Accurate Weather
@ 9:15 am 61°F, Cloudy, SW 2 mph wind, 0” rain Zero. Zero inches of rain the apps claim. Yet all day yesterday moisture dribbled from the sky. I had to use windshield wipers regularly and I was definitely wet after finishing the set up of the electric net fencing. Muddy paw prints on floorContinueContinue reading “Live Wire and Accurate Weather”
Solar Electric Fencing
4:45 pm 61°F, cloudy, W 7 mph wind, trace rain It’s been sprinkling today but not enough to really register on the weather app. It was certainly damp when I was finishing up the electric fencing this morning.

I didn’t have anymore ducks to give…
Until now. @ 7:45 pm, 70°F, mostly sunny, W 7 mph wind, 0” rain, moderate fire risk My bestie who also shares this property has craved the attention of ducks ever since I had brought over my old duck from the farm.

Beautiful little bees
25°- 54°F, sunny, calm Once again it started out clear and icy. The sun is nice but I really miss having running water and a useable toilet. I’ve found the perfect sized bowl that fits perfect in my camper toilet, lined with compostable bags for compost buckets, and I bury them in the woods. ItContinueContinue reading “Beautiful little bees”
My refrigerator decided to unalive.
48°F, partly cloudy, wind NW 7 mph PTSD Anxiety has a bad hold on me today. and the fridge going out hasn’t helped that at all. Especially since RV fridges cost more than $1000. Which I don’t have. So I don’t know what I’m going to do for food for a while. And the foodContinueContinue reading “My refrigerator decided to unalive.”
Wind Storm- Flying Buildings and Blueberry Jam
54°, light rain, breezy “I’m tired of these storms! There never used to be so many!” Proclaimed my climate change denying neighbor when I mentioned another storm arriving Sunday. Last week we had a bit of a storm. And one I wasn’t quite expecting. Tuesday night, I woke up on hearing a bang and aContinueContinue reading “Wind Storm- Flying Buildings and Blueberry Jam”
First Major Storm of the Season
As expected, and the reason I moved to this area, the weather, though not exactly perfect and not exactly following the normal historical patterns the last few years, is mild mannered compared to what is going on with the rest of the country and even the world. That’s not to say there won’t be crazyContinueContinue reading “First Major Storm of the Season”
