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”

Atmospheric Rivers are back and my heart goes out to Jamaica

There is a lot going on weather wise. Here, it’s the normal gross fall weather that starts bringing rivers of moisture and wind. Nothing too out of the ordinary yet. But across the Atlantic Ocean an island is about to be demolished by a historically sized category 5 hurricane. Worse than any storm that hasContinueContinue reading “Atmospheric Rivers are back and my heart goes out to Jamaica”

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”

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.”

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?)”

Heat Kills

The human body can only handle so much. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/13/death-toll-extreme-heat-arizona-county?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR7zt_hUKB86Qzyb7tLNo-VlvZTKJdealg9VQGk9SKEcd0l78r3-isOZZcX-Tg_aem_tJp32Wbz6lNluRIimunzWg And Arizona is a place typically known for being hot. People living there generally know how to deal with the heat and the majority have air conditioning. But heat like what is now being experienced is more dangerous. Not just for humans. Animals and plants alsoContinueContinue reading “Heat Kills”

Extreme Heat is bad for your long term health.

@ 11:33am, 62.6°F, 80% humidity, ENE 1.3 mph wind, partly cloudy, rain 0.01”, monthly 0.01” I’ve seen this before, from other sources if you are one of those CNN haters (because the red hats told you to hate it while trusting faux news that had to pay out a huge sum in court for beingContinueContinue reading “Extreme Heat is bad for your long term health.”

I am not the only one who notices.

Weather apps. IMHO have never been that reliable in the rural areas like where I live. As the apps draw information from more populated areas, they don’t record the trends as well. General information is usually ok, like if a wide spread storm approaches but the nuances of micro climates are not picked up. ApparentlyContinueContinue reading “I am not the only one who notices.”
