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. :)”
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.

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”
Red In The Morning
It’s been pretty freaking fantastic with the red skies in the morning lately. And they have been pretty true to the little ditty about red skies. It’s rained shortly after the red. It was lightly raining as it was red at the same time today. I usually notice the glow of the forest to theContinueContinue reading “Red In The Morning”
Getting some paws in the sand.
There was some speculation that last night was going to be frosty. It got close- 34.7°F here. But no frost on the ground or the truck. Still, I had taken precautions and brought a few not hardy plants into the camper for the night. And since it’s a clear night again, I brought them inContinueContinue reading “Getting some paws in the sand.”
