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. :)”

It’s been wet.

But that’s not unusual for this time of year. Between work and raindrops, I’ve received and planted some more herbal woodland roots- The camas bulbs, the ginseng and goldenseal roots all are in the ground. I found some half off daffodil bulbs I still need to plant. I got the garlic in. I planted someContinueContinue reading “It’s been wet.”

Garlic tucked away in the garden.

50 cloves. 50 cloves should be more than enough. I grow ample for all the mouths here but few actually eat much of what I grow. So I’m getting to the point that I will worry more about myself and putting up enough for myself. There is plenty of produce I grow and if theyContinueContinue reading “Garlic tucked away in the garden.”

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”

When the rain reaches the forest floor, something magical happens.

Porcini (boletes) mushroom It’s that time of year. I’m not a big mushroom fan, it’s the texture that gets to me rather than the rather bland taste. But that being said, they are packed with nutrients that make them a healthy choice (as long as you don’t eat the poison ones). If you don’t likeContinueContinue reading “When the rain reaches the forest floor, something magical happens.”

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?)”

Never seen the wind like that there.

I grew up in that town with my grandparents. I’d seen flooding but have never seen wind this bad there. But I left that area 7 years ago because of the heat and the worsening weather due to global warming. Still a shock to see. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Rg1awFun3/?mibextid=wwXIfr I’m sorry, it’s a Facebook link.
