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.”

Wintersown
48°, Rain, breezy Yesterday I got some winter-sowing done outside. These are seeds that need a bit of cold stratification to help them to germinate. These will stay outside in the weather, no matter what that weather is during winter. Apparently they will sprout when it’s time to and not on my timeline. It’s lowContinueContinue reading “Wintersown”
2024 rain totals
103.94” of rain for this location. Of course this app could be wrong, but this is the most accurate app to my specific location that I have found. It pretty much matches up with my neighbor’s home weather station. For record keeping purposes, I’m calling it close enough since I don’t have my own weatherContinueContinue reading “2024 rain totals”
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”
Wind Storm- Flying Buildings and Blueberry Jam
54°, light rain, breezy “I’m tired of these storms! There never used to be so many!” Proclaimed my climate change denying neighbor when I mentioned another storm arriving Sunday. Last week we had a bit of a storm. And one I wasn’t quite expecting. Tuesday night, I woke up on hearing a bang and aContinueContinue reading “Wind Storm- Flying Buildings and Blueberry Jam”
It’s the Pits!
46°, rain, flood watch (down the hill), breezy I mentioned yesterday that my friend who owns the land I’m renting saved some fruit tree pits. Various kinds. I soaked them in warm water with a few water changes yesterday and over night. Some will try to crack the outer shell, but it’s very difficult toContinueContinue reading “It’s the Pits!”
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”
Water Rising?
These berms made of rock were put in along this road to my place of employment a couple years ago to keep king tides from flooding the road. Yesterday the road definitely flooded. I had to move some logs off the road yesterday on my way home once the tide had retired back to whereContinueContinue reading “Water Rising?”
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”
An apple tree in the woods
https://videopress.com/v/TaVokUrq?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Since it’s a rather pleasant day, warm enough to comfortably work outside and dry too, I’d thought I’d get a start on this project as I need stuff to fill my raised beds and compost anyway. It will be time to prune fruit trees and vines soon anyway.
