I am not indigenous. My ancestors came from other places. But recent reading made me think about the whole concept. Googling tells me this: “Indigeneity is a term that refers to people or objects that are native to a certain region or environment. For example, Native American nations and Aboriginal Australians are considered indigenous. IndigeneityContinueContinue reading “Thoughts on Indigenous”

Indoor growing in winter in a tiny space.
A seed sprouter. Clear, still air, chilly One way to keep growing in the winter is to sprout seeds for salads, sandwiches, and stir-fry.

Frozen toes and frozen water lines…
I mentioned yesterday that I didn’t have my own little weather station yet. This morning is precisely why it’s nice to have one. Weather station apps online all say we are above freezing. 38 seems to be the consensus if you go by the online weather stations. It’s not 38. 38 would mean I don’tContinueContinue reading “Frozen toes and frozen water lines…”

As someone who has a degree in the sciences it’s rather insulting and also false. Why would we spend our whole lives tryingContinueContinue reading “Get Them While You Can”
The Wind is a Blowing
The off shore bomb cyclone, which is really impressive looking, is sending gusts of wind in my area now. The camper is rocking. The peak is supposed to happen around 7 pm maybe. Will see how things go. Hoping the power stays, but I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t.
Possible Bomb Cyclone on the Horizon
Sometime during my middle of the night insomnia, I got bored enough to go look at the models and the patterns for the coming week. Here in the PNW, I say keep an eye out for a mid week (starting possibly on Tuesday) bomb cyclone and atmospheric river. The low pressure system is looking fairlyContinueContinue reading “Possible Bomb Cyclone on the Horizon”
