I left the Midwest to avoid this. Well, and the crappy politics of Indiana. But at least the sun is out and it was more ice than snow over night and is melting quickly inContinueContinue reading “More Snow & Ice”

Here goes nothing-
45°F, rain, S 18 mph Wind, Winter storm Warning. Attempting small loaves of bread in the small air fryer. I miss baking bread. I miss tasty bread. If it works, I’ll share the recipe. This isn’t sourdough but it’s a start. Edit: It’s passable and certainly better than store bought. But I still need toContinueContinue reading “Here goes nothing-“
More Wintersowing
45°F (started out 29°), sunny, calm I gathered a few more containers to get some early spring veggies planted- kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, chard, etc. I had a little help from Freya kitten in the greenhouse. As I was puttering around I recalled there were some pvc pipes laying around. Have been for a veryContinueContinue reading “More Wintersowing”
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”
The bees came out.
43°f, clear, calm Don’t forget to sterilize the pruning tools between trees. Despite the cold 21° start here it warmed up enough for me to spot a couple little bees out and about checking out the garden. I came home from work this morning and felt the need to get outside myself, so I plantedContinueContinue reading “The bees came out.”
Fruit Trees Are Becoming Unaffordable
It used to be that buying a bare root fruit tree was an inexpensive investment well worth the upfront cost. I remember ordering several a year with money I earned in a low wage student job. Mail order and locally. They were good quality and produced well. Now, if you dare order a bareroot tree,ContinueContinue reading “Fruit Trees Are Becoming Unaffordable”
I told you so. Many times.
28°F, partly cloudy, 3 mph east wind And I will keep saying I told you so. The death of our country our values and freedoms have occurred. If you are ok with that, do not follow this blog. I’m not interested in following you or listening to a word you say. You are but aContinueContinue reading “I told you so. Many times.”
Apple Rescue
54°F, partly cloudy, NE 3 mph wind It’s terribly nice weather so after loading the rig with trash to take to the dump tomorrow and helping with the delivery of the new homestead washing machine, I did laundry, and then decided to work outside a bit more in the woods clearing space around that wildContinueContinue reading “Apple Rescue”
Unfreezing Mentally
46°F, light rain, light wind I guess since my world as I knew it had come crashing down, I was stuck in a kind of mental limbo of doing only what I needed to survive. Roof over my head. Food in my belly. Work. A few people asked me what my plans for the futureContinueContinue reading “Unfreezing Mentally”
Attempting video
43°, Mostly Cloudy, passing rain showers I’m attempting to load up some video I tried to make while planting onion seeds. Apparently you can’t load up anything very long. I had to break it up into pieces. I’m not sure how to edit yet and perhaps it’s easier to do on an actual computer ratherContinueContinue reading “Attempting video”
