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”

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. :)”
Do you grow things that are easy, just because they are easy?
Zucchini, the curse that keeps on giving. 4:10pm PST, 68*F, Cloudy (it’s been lightly raining off and on) I must admit I enjoy some zucchini. Made certain ways. But not a plethora of it. I like it sliced thin and grilled. A little in stir fry. I do not like it mushy. It’s excellent asContinueContinue reading “Do you grow things that are easy, just because they are easy?”
The Hate on People Who Need Help, A Certified Rant
7 am PST, 58*F, Cloudy, No wind Online, and even in person I hear a lot of hate and disdain out there for people who need help with food and basic survival. Don’t pretend you don’t see it. Despite the fact that most people who need help are working, or taking care of other peopleContinueContinue reading “The Hate on People Who Need Help, A Certified Rant”
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. Who domesticated who?”
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”
It’s been wet.
But that’s not unusual for this time of year. Between work and raindrops, I’ve received and planted some more herbal woodland roots- The camas bulbs, the ginseng and goldenseal roots all are in the ground. I found some half off daffodil bulbs I still need to plant. I got the garlic in. I planted someContinueContinue reading “It’s been wet.”
Garlic tucked away in the garden.
50 cloves. 50 cloves should be more than enough. I grow ample for all the mouths here but few actually eat much of what I grow. So I’m getting to the point that I will worry more about myself and putting up enough for myself. There is plenty of produce I grow and if theyContinueContinue reading “Garlic tucked away in the garden.”
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”
Catch Up (ketchup?)
So many tomatoes ripe at once. To say I’ve been busy is an understatement. And that’s on top of having the Covid. I went to the trouble of masking in public. I hunted down and fought for the newest Covid variant vaccine. And it was a fight because I’m not 65 and the confusion MrContinueContinue reading “Catch Up (ketchup?)”
