It’s Been A While, Hasn’t it?

@5:45 AM 55*F, Mostly Cloudy, N 6 mph Wind, Monthly Rain 1.08″, Year to Date rain 37.20″ It seems the more I use my paper book journal the less I spend typing here but I am paying for this so I may as get back to regularly updating. Nothing much has changed other than theContinueContinue reading “It’s Been A While, Hasn’t it?”

A beautiful day- but don’t be fooled!

74°F (a record for here), partly cloudy, NW 4 mph wind, 26.87” rain ytd Trilliums in bloom today in the woods. It was so beautiful today I spent it all outside. As soon as I was up and moving I jumped into the garden. I planted strawberries, heathers, peonies, cabbage and broccoli seedlings. I transplantedContinueContinue reading “A beautiful day- but don’t be fooled!”

More Snow & Ice

https://videopress.com/v/fvuNqddP?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true 37°F, sunny, S 8 mph wind, 6.16” rain/year I’m getting mighty tired of having to clear my rig everyday! 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”

Snow Is Fertilizer

30°F, Mostly Cloudy, S 8 mph wind, .89” monthly rain, Winter Weather Advisory Snow doesn’t happen a lot here, but we sometimes get a day or two of snow in the winter. The thing about snow, even though the ice and snow can be annoying when having to drive to work, is that it actsContinueContinue reading “Snow Is Fertilizer”

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.”

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”

Puppy Neutering and Yard Improvement: A Personal Journey

Yesterday, I took my pup to be neutered. This was the pup my narcissist relative insisted on buying from a breeder. I did at least find a good responsible breeder and not one of the backyard breeders. Unfortunately this relative wanted him to be bred and didn’t want to put any work into the careContinueContinue reading “Puppy Neutering and Yard Improvement: A Personal Journey”
