Warm enough for the bees today.

61°F, partly cloudy, SE 5 mph wind, rain ytd 17.91” https://videopress.com/v/3iVTO60i?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true The wild bees that moved into last year did well over winter and were out in mass today. Today was nice! After the cyclone we had for a couple days of windy excitement, a nice day was well earned. As far as climate changeContinueContinue reading “Warm enough for the bees today.”

Onion Sets

45°F, Cloudy with mist, 0 wind, 9.32” rain ytd Thank goodness the snow has melted pretty quickly so I can start complaining about mud again 🤣🙌. I planted a few test seeds of sugar snap peas I’d saved from the farm garden, some spinach, and onion sets. One bed is now full. I will seeContinueContinue reading “Onion Sets”

We May Be Warming Up

21/43°F, mostly sunny, SE 10 mph wind It was another cold night but I think I’m actually getting used to it. I’m going to tweak things in my camper for next winter that should solve or at least help with the cold drafts but I can honestly say this winter, although colder, and snowier thanContinueContinue reading “We May Be Warming Up”

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”

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.”

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.”
