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”

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.”
The Gulf of Mexico states are experiencing snow.
30°F, foggy, NE 2 mph wind The rest of the country is experiencing some cold weather as well. My toilet is frozen and I’m pooping in a bucket now. 😑. Haven’t had running water for days. But I’m not complaining because I know things could be so much worse, and likely will be from hereContinueContinue reading “The Gulf of Mexico states are experiencing snow.”
My refrigerator decided to unalive.
48°F, partly cloudy, wind NW 7 mph PTSD Anxiety has a bad hold on me today. and the fridge going out hasn’t helped that at all. Especially since RV fridges cost more than $1000. Which I don’t have. So I don’t know what I’m going to do for food for a while. And the foodContinueContinue reading “My refrigerator decided to unalive.”
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”
Dear Dad, It’s our dog’s birthday today.
https://videopress.com/v/TjJDB2X6?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true It is fitting that Rider and I are saying goodbye to your ashes today, at the end of a frightening and disparaging year. It’s also Rider’s 2nd birthday (he was born, as you may recall, about 30 minutes before the end of the year.) You had been so excited for this pup. To pickContinueContinue reading “Dear Dad, It’s our dog’s birthday today.”
Seed Starting and Tree Pruning Prep
46°, mostly cloudy, showers, 103.22” rain so far this year I did end up laying landscape pavers over my muddy path yesterday. They were free pavers and they do the job even though they are a bit wonky. I got tired of sinking to my ankles in mud when stepping out of my camper. AndContinueContinue reading “Seed Starting and Tree Pruning Prep”
A rain free day— yesterday
46°, Partly Cloudy, Light Wind Day off and I was feeling pretty good. I know I should stay home on days like this and work the homestead but I took my dog out for some spoiling fun walking instead at one of the local coastal parks. He deserved a day of spoiling. Meanwhile, a videoContinueContinue reading “A rain free day— yesterday”
Grief and Seeds
It’s no secret to anyone in my circle that I’ve been grieving a lot this year. The loss of family, the loss of a homestead and everything I put my hopes for the future in. I’ve been betrayed and abused and if it weren’t for very close friends I would have been homeless. That wouldContinueContinue reading “Grief and Seeds”
San Francisco with it’s first Tornado Warning in History
52°, rain, lots of wind There is another cyclone causing issues again at the coast. This time my area is feeling a bit more wind than the last one and places like San Francisco is seeing some weather it normally doesn’t. It will probably be raining for a week or so, but that isn’t tooContinueContinue reading “San Francisco with it’s first Tornado Warning in History”
