Climate Grief Watching Disaster Unfold

AND PERSONAL DISAPPOINTMENT And sadness for those who you care about but who just don’t care. I had to turn off the internet for a bit this week. Watching the horror of the Nepal Disaster was beyond what I could continue to watch. It wasn’t AI. It wasn’t computer graphics. It wasn’t movie theater fakery.ContinueContinue reading “Climate Grief Watching Disaster Unfold”

Disaster in Spokane

Happening now. Today, while we got rain and cool conditions in my little area, to the north east a couple hours drive, a disaster is unfolding. I’m seeing first hand reports and videos of people fleeing and evacuating. Big city starting to burn from different sides… frightening for those who are there trying to leave.ContinueContinue reading “Disaster in Spokane”

Rain. Because my mud was dehydrated. :)

7:20am, 61°F, light rain August first is starting out with an interesting weather day in my state. Half the state is under a PDS fire watch or is already burning, and the other half is wet, with a few parts above 7000 feet potentially seeing snow. There will be wind too, for the entire stateContinueContinue reading “Rain. Because my mud was dehydrated. :)”

Corn. Who domesticated who?

7:30 am PST, 60*F, light rain, no wind Before I get onto the long tangent of corn, I must say a word (or 600) about yesterday’s journal post. I was feeling very down about things- it happens sometimes when I’m feeling particularly vulnerable- a combination of CPTSD and depression when my body isn’t working likeContinueContinue reading “Corn.

TOO MUCH OF A DREAMER

HOW NOT TO DESTROY A FRIEND TRYING THIER BEST 7:40 am, west coast, partially cloudy 59* I know I committed the crime of not posting in a very long time again. I’ve got to stop doing that. The truth is I get so busy and let things distract me. There is a ton going onContinueContinue reading “TOO MUCH OF A DREAMER”

Frost this Morning

2 common phone weather apps and the truth. If the frozen water and ice on everything didn’t tell you the truth, the apps sure aren’t. It’s below freezing. Currently at 7:30 am it’s 31.1 degrees (the truth). It’s the coolest morning since I set up the little weather station above my garden. It got downContinueContinue reading “Frost this Morning”

Atmospheric Rivers are back and my heart goes out to Jamaica

There is a lot going on weather wise. Here, it’s the normal gross fall weather that starts bringing rivers of moisture and wind. Nothing too out of the ordinary yet. But across the Atlantic Ocean an island is about to be demolished by a historically sized category 5 hurricane. Worse than any storm that hasContinueContinue reading “Atmospheric Rivers are back and my heart goes out to Jamaica”

I Splurged

Because of my living in such a tiny home, I do most of my stove top type cooking outside on a camp stove. This makes canning, especially pressure canning low acid foods more tricky for me and not very cost effective as far as fuel goes. I DO have a stove top pressure canner, anContinueContinue reading “I Splurged”
